Perfect for you if...

  • You love cosy mysteries with a gritty edge and characters who feel lived-in rather than polished.
  • You're drawn to stories about unlikely friendships, especially between generations, where the humour comes from real tension.
  • You want a thriller that doesn't take itself too seriously but still has genuine stakes and surprises.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer protagonists who follow the rules and stay out of trouble.
  • You're looking for a hard-boiled crime novel with a cynical tone rather than something tongue-in-cheek.
  • You need your mysteries tightly plotted with minimal banter or character tangents.

About this book

Piper, a woman in her thirties, and her grandmother relocate to Bitter End, Florida, as part of the witness protection program. Both are former members of a motorcycle gang in Oregon and entered the program after being charged with tax evasion and money laundering. They chose this option over potential jail time or retaliation from the gang they testified against. Adjusting to life in Florida proves difficult for them. They move into a retirement community filled with unfamiliar people and must adapt to a lifestyle far removed from their former one—trading biker boots for flip-flops and navigating the practical challenges of their new circumstances. They are also expected to stay on the right side of the law. When a dead body appears in their neighbor's front yard, Piper and her grandmother become drawn into investigating the murder despite their intention to remain inconspicuous. As they dig deeper, they realize their cover is at risk of being exposed and decide they must find the killer before their identity is revealed.
