But when a woman arrives at Nash Security Solutions, asking about an old movie prop Maizie had given to her father, her New Year's Eve gets crazier than Times Square at midnight.

Will these ruthless villains pop Maizie's cork before the clock strikes twelve? Or worse yet, drop the ball on her sister?

"This novella bridging events of the novels heralds in the New Year by taking Maizie and Nash Security Solutions in a new direction, promising even more adventures in cinematic and real world detecting. Chapter headings with hilarious hashtags are just one of the indicators of the snarky humor in store for readers, especially when combined with movie fandom that is the embodiment of 'fanatic.' " — Cynthia Chow, King's River Life Magazine

"As always, the characters are great and the plot includes a bit of humor as well as tension. What a way to start the New Year." — Christa Nardi, Christa Reads and Writes

"This might be my absolute favorite cozy series and this book has everything I love about Maizie and her world — the chemistry between her and Nash, her dangerous little half-sister and the pack of small dogs that constantly follow her into trouble, and lots of fast-paced adventure. It's always fun to watch as she gets herself out of impossibly ridiculous situations and I can't wait for the next book." — Michelle Marr, Michelle's Romantic Tangle
