Product Description

The daughter of a cop growing up in a small town with three brothers . . . nobody was surprised Mel was a bit--untamed. She left all that when she married and moved to the big city. But after a traffic accident claimed the lives of her husband and child, Mel returned home for the emotional support of her family and a familiar place to get through the grief. Her first day on the job answering phones at her brother's office as a favor gets her a gun in the face. Welcome home! That's the start of an unusual crime spree and only Mel has the info, the luck, and the spunk to tie the separate pieces together and uncover the truth behind the murders and mayhem. She may have come home looking for peace and time to heal, but if adventure and mystery come knocking--well, Mel Addison is ready and willing to play. The crimes may be the easy part, though. There's a new cop in town with an eye for Mel and her own heart can't seem to decide what to do.

Customer Reviews

Hooked from page 1, couldn't put it down!!
Great book, I can't wait for the next book in the series, hope there are many more to come. I was hooked from page one!! I grew up in Quincy, IL and still live nearby. It was fun to be able to put myself in the book with the main characters. This is sure to be a great mystery series!!

Exciting and Tasteful--A Rare Treat!
Abderhalden has succeeded in writing a truly engaging mystery, one in which the real culprit(s) are unknown until the end. Fun and exciting!

Questionable Ethics
Angela's use of close family ties and that home town feel, made me feel as if I was right there with Mel! I really enjoyed the book, and can't wait for the next one in the series! I can see this becoming a series of movies. It has that feel. Mark D.
