Languages : en
Pages : 500
Book Description
A bundle of books #1 (KNOCKOUT) and #2 (SUCKER PUNCH) in Mia Gold’s Holly Hands cozy mystery series. This bundle offers books one and two in one convenient file, with over 150,000 words of reading. In KNOCKOUT (Book #1), repossessing Lamborghinis and other exotic toys from criminals is second-hat for Holly. But finding a dead body—and solving a murder—is not. Luckily, Holly has Lucky by her side—a neglected pit bull she found on the wrong side of a job, who refuses to leave her side—and who, like her, has nowhere to go but up. Together, maybe they can crawl their way out of the urban hell of their bad slice of Baltimore, where coming home at night is even more dangerous than going to work. Maybe Holly can manage to get her young daughter the medical treatment she desperately needs, and manage to get her out of her dangerous public school and into the private school of her dreams. Just maybe, she can fall in love with that private school Dad from the other side of town and start a whole new life. Or maybe not. Life has never been easy for Holly. And if the past few days—and the dead body in her trunk—are any indication—it’s about to get a whole lot worse. In SUCKER PUNCH (Book #2), things seem like they may be looking up for Holly—until she is called into for her biggest job yet: to repo a mega-yacht. It seems like an absurd task, made more absurd by the mega party she encounters on board. Yet Holly is up for anything. But that doesn’t include dealing with a dead body. Or for having to solve yet another crime to keep herself out of jail. THE HOLLY HANDS COZY MYSTERY SERIES a riveting new series, a page-turning thriller that grabs you from page one and does not let go. Get ready to find yourself reading all night, bleary-eyed, and falling madly in love with a new character who will fight her way into your heart.
