Book Description
For fans of Carl Hiaasen and Harper Lin's Granny series - a fun and witty caper featuring diamonds, deceit … and double-crossing. Retired super-spy Delphine Lougheed is nothing if not gracious, especially when family comes to town. So when Marge Flanders—the mother of her son-in-law and possible former jewel thief—announces she and her new boyfriend Willard are visiting Southern California for a trip to Disneyland, Delphine offers to pick them up from the airport. But Willard disappears without a trace right after deplaning, and Marge’s vacation turns from fun to frantic quicker than you can say “giant diamond.” Delphine would rather skip it all and go ballroom dancing, but now she must use the skills she honed during decades of espionage to help track Willard down. She enlists the help of friend and fellow former super-spy Kenji Yamamoto, and the three of them set off for the not-so-seedy underbelly of Orange County. In the process of tracking down Willard, the trio discovers the love of Marge’s life may not be who she thought he was. Worse, if they can’t locate him, she'll end up having to pay—literally—for his transgressions. On the lookout for senior swimsuit influencers, inept bookies, and alimony-seeking biker ex-wives, Delphine, Kenji, and Marge search for their missing person. But they just might uncover far more: the realization that it’s never too late to find adventure … and lifelong friends.

Beverley Green's First Adventure

ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
A light-hearted, laugh-out-loud story about a loveable late bloomer, for fans of Janet Evanovich. After twenty years in New York, Beverley Green has had enough of big-city anonymity. Guthrie, the former capital of her home state of Oklahoma, seems like the perfect place to fulfill her dreams of owning chickens and opening an independent bookstore. But neither of those things pays the bills (yet), so she accepts a side gig as a reporter for the local paper. Trouble is, she’s been instructed to cover a spate of Bigfoot sightings, which makes her question her boss’ commitment to journalism … and the sanity of the entire town. Because everyone—from her persnickety landlady to Guthrie’s grumpy sheriff—seems to believe in Sasquatch. Beverley’s convinced they’re nuts, but if she proclaims herself as the only unbeliever, she risks being forever thought of as the resident outsider. And outsiders don’t sell many books. Desperate for help with the article, Beverley enlists the local “Bigfoot expert” (and resident cute guy) Danny Cadence to take her on an overnight Sasquatch stakeout. The night results in more than one front-page-worthy story … and as Beverley soon discovers, once you add in a nosey landlady, one cantankerous chicken, and, well, Bigfoot … the simple life may not be so simple after all! Beverley Green’s First Adventure is the first book in the sassy and irreverent Beverley Green Adventures series. If you’re looking to lose yourself in a lighthearted yarn, this is the novel for you!

A heartfelt story about a grinch who’s about to learn the upside of the holiday season, for fans of Janet Evanovich Beverley Green has never been big on holiday spirit. But after writing a hit article for the local paper about a spate of recent Bigfoot sightings, she knows she’d be silly not to capitalize on her newfound popularity and include her new bookstore in the upcoming Territorial Christmas celebration. It’s Guthrie, Oklahoma’s biggest community event of the year—but with period costumes and a parade, it’s also way out of Beverley’s Christmas comfort zone. As if that’s not enough to turn Beverley into a grinch, her sister’s just informed her that she needs to babysit her eleven-year-old twin niece and nephew over Christmas break. And Beverley? Well, she’d have a better shot at world peace than understanding kids. To Beverley’s great surprise, her niece and nephew turn out to be excellent—and handy—houseguests. But the bookshop’s fate takes a turn when an orphaned hamster puts Beverley on the naughty list of her shop’s cantankerous landlady, who threatens eviction. With Beverley’s reputation—and business—on the line, her holiday spirit is in danger of melting faster than a Sasquatch snowman on a sunny day. But little does she know, help can come from the most unlikely places—and the friendly face of a local Bigfoot expert under the mistletoe just might restore her faith in Christmas… Enjoy the heck out of the holidays and pick up Beverley Green’s First Territorial Christmas, the second book in the Beverley Green Adventures series!
