A Secondhand Murder

Killer Bargains

Spunky and outspoken Eve Appel moves from Connecticut to Florida intent on starting a new life free of drama and, more important, her soon-to-be ex-husband. The rural town of Sabal Bay, situated only an hour from West Palm, proves to be the perfect spot for her consignment store. But Eve’s life, and her business, is turned upside down when a wealthy customer is found stabbed to death in a fitting room.

As accusations fly and business slows, Eve decides to take things into her own hands. With the help of an unlikely bunch—including her estranged ex, her best friend, a handsome private eye and a charming Mafia don—she struggles to find answers and save lives. Through a maze of distorted half-truths, dramatic cover-ups and unrequited passions, Eve learns just how far the wealthy will go to regain what they have lost.

Dead in the Water

Sleeping with the Fishes

Consignment shop owner Eve Appel is thrilled to reconnect with her long-lost uncle Winston, who’s visiting Sabal Bay with his friend Darlene. But disaster strikes when an airboat ride through the Florida swamps ends with her uncle being shot in the head. The killing looks suspiciously like a mob hit, and it turns out Uncle Winston was “connected.”

Was he simply a bagman, or something more? Who is Darlene, and how did Winston acquire three Russian stepchildren, one of whom has been kidnapped by yet another mob family? When Eve’s best friend, Madeleine, is kidnapped as well, Eve doesn’t know where to turn. With two mob families on her tail and her boyfriend, PI Alex Montgomery, away on assignment, Eve has to act fast—before the Mafia kidnappers decide to make Eve disappear…permanently.

A Sporting Murder

An Easy Target

For Eve Appel and her friend Madeleine, co-owners of the Second to None consignment shop in rural Florida’s Sabal Bay, business is booming. But things aren’t so rosy for Madeleine’s new beau, David Wilson. A near-fatal encounter with Blake Reed, David’s nasty neighbor, is soon followed by a shooting death on the dividing line between David and Blake’s land. Both men run sport-hunting reserves, but Blake imports “exotics” from Africa, while David stays within the law, pointing clients toward local game, such as the wild pigs that ravage the landscape.

Nevertheless, David is arrested and charged with murder. At the same time, Blake’s wife forces Eve and Madeleine out of their shop, intending to replace it with a consignment shop of her own. As the case against David grows stronger, Eve and her friends band together to take on the bad guys. But the waters are getting muddier and more troubled, and Eve and Madeleine may be getting in over their heads!
