"The hilarious dialog and the tension between Savannah and Rafe will delight fans of chick-lit mysteries and romantic suspense." - Jo Ann Vicarel, Library Journal
Savannah Martin has always been a good girl, doing what was expected and fully expecting life to fall into place in its turn. But when her perfect husband turns out to be a lying, cheating slimeball - and bad in bed to boot - Savannah kicks the jerk to the curb and embarks on life on her own terms. With a new apartment, a new career, and a brand new outlook on life, she's all set to take the world by storm.
If only the world would stop throwing her curveballs...
When Savannah and her best friend Charlotte decide to flip a foreclosed property in nearby Columbia, they talk Savannah's sister Darcy into putting up the money for the renovations, and go to work.
But no sooner have they ripped up the carpet and torn out the kitchen cabinets, than the previous owner shows up and invokes his statutory right of redemption. After four years in prison for a crime he says he didn't commit, he's back in town to clear his name, and he wants his house back. And according to Savannah's legal-eagle brother Dix, there's nothing anyone can do to stop him.
Until someone drops him in his tracks, with a murder weapon that has Charlotte's fingerprints all over it.
Savannah's husband Rafe has his hands full at the local PD, so the murder investigation falls on another detective, one who doesn't share Savannah's conviction that Charlotte wouldn't hurt a fly. But when Savannah decides to do some investigating of her own, it soon becomes clear that there's more to this flipping fiasco than meets the eye...
