Synopsis: This debut mystery features “thrift with a murderous twist” and combines a “vivid Florida setting with lots of suspense and humor” (Kathleen Delaney, author of the Ellen McKenzie Mystery Series). Spunky and outspoken Eve Appel moves from Connecticut to rural Florida where she plans to start a new life, free of drama, and more importantly, free of her soon-to-be ex-husband. The rural Florida town of Sabal Bay, situated only an hour from West Palm, is the perfect spot for her consignment shop. Florida’s society matrons need a place to discreetly sell their stuff and pick up expensive-looking bargains. But Eve’s life and business are turned upside down when a wealthy customer is found stabbed to death in one of her fitting rooms. As accusations fly and business slows, Eve decides to take matters into her own hands. With the help of an unlikely group of friends—including her estranged ex, her best friend, a handsome private eye, and a charming mafia don—Eve struggles to find answers and save lives. Through a maze of secrets, lies, and unrequited passions, Eve learns just how far the wealthy will go to regain what they have lost.
