Mia Murphy has a big announcement, and her friends aren’t going to like it. But when Hattie shows up two hours late with a corpse in her truck, Mia’s news has to take a backseat to keeping her bestie out of jail.
Armed only with a stowaway cat, corded implements, and a cranky mystery writer, the trio of trouble must invade a cauldron of testosterone to uncover the murderer before he or she finds them.
Stolen recipes, secrets pasts, and inconvenient law-enforcement hotties stand in the way of justice, survival, and girl power. But desperate women are unstoppable, and the trio of trouble is no exception!
With only hours to uncover the truth, Mia must lead the way down a path that no one wants to go down…except maybe the cat.

"This book reminded me so much of the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. It had just the right amount of action, suspense and hilarious humor." Five-star Goodreads Review (Vicki R)
"This is a great mystery, made better by the fun and quirky characters who work to solve them and the zany situations they find themselves in. I loved this line, and think it encompasses the feel of the book - “Sometimes you get yourself in bad situations and it’s not your fault. But what you do afterwards? That’s when you get to choose who you are and whom you want to be.“ I can’t wait for the next Mia Murphy mystery along with her band of trusted friends. I highly recommend this series!!!" Five-star Goodreads Review (Elizabeth)

Five-star Goodreads Review (Danielle B)
"I cannot ever say enough about the genius of Stephanie Rowe….Can I make it 5+ stars? 6? 100? I would if I could." Five-star Goodreads Review (Jeanne S.)
