Excerpt:
Beatrice
Lulu couldn’t get out of that courtroom quick enough. Once the judge said she
was free to go, she hightailed it out of there and hurried past the defendants
without looking at them. No doubt their faces were forever imprinted on her
mind. She leaned against the sink in the
lady’s room, fighting back nausea.
They
didn’t get it. Not Ed, not Ethel or Lottie. None of them did. They thought it
was all cut and dry, but they weren’t there. They didn’t see how those guys
worked. Didn’t see the evil. Easy for them to say she had to testify. No skin
off their noses. All she wanted was to go home, live her life, and forget this
ever happened. She’d become a recluse, that’s what she’d do. She’d never become
involved in anything again. Her days of snooping were over. Callie could handle
it from now on, that’s what they paid her to do.
Read Book 1 - All in the Family
Taking over the police chief's job in her hometown should be easy for Callie Johnson. At least that's what she thinks. After working in a big city, small town crime should be a breeze. What a surprise when she arrives to find her grandmother, the judge, accused of murder. As if that isn't enough, someone attacks her while walking to her car.
Between criminal investigations, her nutty family's antics, and her Aunt Beatrice Lulu's matchmaking, Callie has her work cut out for her. Will her grandmother be exonerated? Can Callie ward off her aunt's unsuitable suitors? What other surprises are in store for her?
Book 2 - All's Well That Ends Well
Aunt Beatrice Lulu is back and creating more havoc than ever. When a body falls out of a chimney in their newly purchased cabin, she takes it upon herself to investigate. Just because her
niece is Chief of Police doesn't mean she should mind her own business. Even her husband can't control his busy body wife. It doesn't end there, too many things happening for Beatrice Lulu to overlook. She's bound and determined to figure things out on her own.
Here she is, the lovable, zany, nosy busybody. And she's involving Ed in her crazy adventures. Not that he's an unwilling participant. At least not after he agrees. Investigating the local dog rescue shelter to see what's making the dogs sick involves volunteering. Ed loves dogs, so not a problem for him. Besides, he has an ulterior motive.
