Description
Private Investigator Hadley Cooper has a knack for finding trouble-and this time, it's wearing pearls.
Life on Sullivan's Island is about as close to bliss as it gets-bike rides at sunrise, cases that don't make headlines, and a romance with SLED agent Cash Reynolds that's finally on solid ground. They have one ironclad rule: never work the same case.
When a wealthy Charleston socialite turns up dead, Cash charges her housekeeper, Bridget Donovan, with murder. But the young single mother has a formidable ally in Carolyn Talbot, a local matriarch who implores Hadley to help. Hadley's heart overrides her head, and her agreement with Cash is gone like confetti in a hurricane.
Soon she's wading through a tangle of suspects-blue bloods with deadly secrets, her client's scheming ex-monster-in-law, and the greatest unknown country singer in Nashville. But Hadley's also grappling with a mystery closer to home-one that will shake everything she thought she knew about her family.
To find justice for Bridget, Hadley will have to risk her heart, her life-and maybe her grip on reality.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Susan Boyer's TROUBLE'S TURN TO LOSE is a cozy mystery with a Southern accent--heartwarming characters, a coastal setting, and a surprise ending you won't see coming makes this a book for everyone's reading list." -Karen White, New York Times Bestselling Author
"Boyer delivers a well-drawn mystery that will keep readers guessing until the conclusion. While the investigation is compelling on its own, subplots involving Hadley's personal life, including the friction that the investigation causes in her relationship with Cash ('we both said this wasn't good for us'), allow for more complex character development. The ghosts sprinkled throughout the book add a supernatural element that many will enjoy. Hadley is a smart and capable protagonist and narrator; her associates and friends are equally well developed. Readers will especially appreciate Hadley's strong, supportive, and collaborative relationships with other women. A well-executed murder mystery featuring smart women, strong friendships, and ghosts." -Kirkus Reviews
