The wife is always the last to know... When Gina Beaufort Kelly’s husband leaves her for a woman young enough to be his daughter, Gina doesn’t get mad... she gets even. Or at least she tries to, by targeting David’s assets in the divorce. She spent eighteen years of her life with him; it’s only fair that he should compensate her accordingly. However, David doesn’t agree, and when he ends up dead, on the evening before they were set to go before the judge, the police suspect foul play—and suspect that Gina’s behind it. Now this jilted wife must figure out who else wanted her soon-to-be-ex-husband dead—and why—before she loses everything in the process, including her freedom.

Fresh from solving her late husband's murder, Gina Beaufort Kelley is dealing with her first case as a licensed stalking Steven Morton, the husband of Gina’s divorce attorney, Diana Morton. University professor Steven is spending significant time with a beautiful, blond Russian young enough to be his daughter, which sets all of Gina's antennae quivering. But what's supposed to be a simple case of philandering soon turns sinister when the nosy neighbor of the young Russian girl is murdered, and Steven and the young woman are nowhere to be found. Add in a ransom note for Steven's return, a bloody attack on Gina's associate Zachary when he asks questions about the Russian girl, and the newest addition to the firm - a Boston Terrier that used to belong to the murder victim, but that has now attached itself to Gina - and the newly licensed PI has her hands full. Can Gina find Steven, avenge Zachary, and discover a killer before it’s case closed… for good?

A Gina Beaufort Kelly Cozy Mystery At the request of an old friend, Fidelity Investigations private eye Gina Beaufort Kelly takes on the task of surveilling Harold Newsome, one of her late husband’s clients. Harold’s third wife Heidi thinks something’s going on with Harold, and she wants Gina to discover what. But as she trails Harold around Nashville, it soon becomes clear that Gina isn’t the only one haunting Harold. Another local PI is also on the trail, and then there’s the young blonde who often shows up where Harold is—a young blonde dressed in the fashions of a bygone era… or at least the fashions of a dozen years ago. When another seemingly simple case of philandering turns to murder, Detective Jaime Mendoza gets involved. And as it turns out, this might not be the first time suspicious death has struck the Newsomes
