An Elliott Lisbon Mystery (#1)
As director of the Ballantyne Foundation on Sea Pine Island, SC, Elliott Lisbon scratches

board chair, is accused of murder. The Ballantyne’s reputation tanks, Jane’s headed
to a jail cell, and Elliott’s sexy ex is the new lieutenant in town.
Armed with moxie and her Mini Coop, Elliott uncovers a trail of blackmail schemes,
gambling debts, illicit affairs, and investment scams. But the deeper she digs to

Then her relationship suddenly crumbles and Brook finds herself engaging in almost

with the most inappropriate of men: a dangerously sexy bartender with anger-management
issues—who also happens to be a former patient.
As her increasingly out-of-control behavior lands her at rock-bottom, Brook realizes

FINDING SKY
Susan O’Brien
A Nicki Valentine Mystery
Suburban widow and P.I. in training Nicki Valentine can barely keep track of her two
kids, never mind anyone else. But when her best friend’s adoption plan is jeopardized
by the young birth mother’s disappearance, Nicki is persuaded to help. Nearly everyone
else believes the teenager ran away, but Nicki trusts her BFF’s judgment, and the
feeling is mutual.
The case leads where few moms go (teen parties, gang shootings) and places they can’t
avoid (preschool parties, OB-GYNs’ offices). Nicki has everything to lose and much
to gain — including the attention of her unnervingly hot P.I. instructor. Thankfully,
Nicki is armed with her pesky conscience, occasional babysitters, a fully stocked
minivan, and nature’s best defense system: women’s intuition.
