Margot Slade moved to the Oregon coast to disappear. The con man should have picked a different town.
After her husband's death exposed a financial fraud that consumed everything she had, Margot starts over in Agate Reach: a foggy little town with a county clerk's office that needs part-time help, a cottage that needs everything, and a tuxedo cat named Margin who has no respect for personal space. Her plan is simple. Keep her head down. Trust no one. Stay out of other people's problems.
That lasts about a week.
When a charming merchant marine officer starts draining a lonely widow's life savings through an online romance, Margot recognizes the pattern instantly. She's seen this kind of deception before. Up close. Across her own dinner table. For twenty-four years.
And this time, she is not going to look away.
Armed with public records, a librarian's research instincts, and a cat who insists on supervising the evidence, Margot follows the paper trail from small-town Oregon to a strip-mall office in Tigard, where she discovers the scam is bigger, and closer, than anyone imagined.
The first book in the Agate Reach Mystery series: cozy mysteries built around real-world scams, where the crimes make you furious, the justice is satisfying, and the cat steals every scene.
For fans of Richard Osman, Tonya Kappes, and small-town sleuths who've been burned once and won't let it happen to anyone else. Read for free with Kindle Unlimited.
