"Laced with acerbic wit and consistent palpable tension." —The Independent Review of Books
"An intelligently plotted mystery that soars." - Feathered Quill Book Reviews
Two estranged sisters, one father accused of murder, zero time to catch up.
Ivy and Rose share only one thing: a father they don't know. Ivy, an on-leave FBI agent with a predilection for order, and Rose, a reformed hacker with a knack for chaos, are summoned to their father's private investigations office when he goes missing. The sisters come running and finally meet—over his assistant's corpse.
With their dad the number-one suspect in this brutal murder, Rose hatches a plan to pose as his partners. She and Ivy tackle a wealthy client's case in a small town with big secrets, all the while digging up dirt on the townspeople's ties to their father and his assistant's death.
Can these odd-couple sisters work two cases, or will one of them be next to disappear?
Fans of Janet Evanovich and TV's Veronica Mars and Castle, who like traditional mysteries with twists, red herrings, and humor, will love this fast-paced series opener.

Sisters meet for the first time and solve a mystery
I loved this book!
Ivy, an FBI agent, and Rose, who does something with computers, meet for the first time when they find out their father is missing. They both go back to his home in Georgia, even though they're each estranged from their dad. Once they get there, they stumble on a dead body and take on the case of one of their father's clients, hoping to find out what happened to him.
I loved everything about this book, especially Rose. Ivy is likable, but Rose is gutsy and funny. She would do things that made me cringe with worry for her, all while Ivy was the consummate professional.
The setting: The novel is set in a small town in Georgia, but it's not atmospheric. It's more of a typical small-town setting with interesting but average everyday characters.
Also, the mysteries are interesting with plenty of depth.
The best way to describe this book is to say that it's a rich, almost cozy, but definitely legit mystery novel. I highly recommend it.
