Would you destroy your best friend to save your husband...if he's done the unspeakable? Ginger Mallowan embodies everything the 1980s stand for, from big hair to power suits to "Material Girl"...until her son disappears during a beach walk one night. That's the moment girls don't want to have fun anymore, and the moment she starts hunting for answers. Now Ginger's hair is a bit flatter, her power suits packed into the attic, and her dance steps to Madonna lack the energy of better days. She hasn't found—or forgotten—her missing son, and she's only survived the grief thanks to her neighbor and keeper of secrets, Tara Christie. Except for Ginger's darkest secret of all...about what happened the night her son disappeared. But that vow of friendship is tested when Tara is jarred awake one night by a scream coming from next-door, where she finds Ginger standing over a dead body. Even stranger, Tara's husband is nowhere to be found. As the investigation shakes the town to its core, and Tara's husband is charged with the murder, Tara must choose between proving her husband's innocence or protecting Ginger's past. Little does she know they're about to stumble down a twisty path that could destroy them all.

When her estranged husband shows up on her doorstep, Ginger Mallowan thinks she’s finally getting her happily ever after…until he disappears again. Rick Mallowan had never been the type of father to play catch with his sons. Or the kind of husband to stick around. But when he shows up begging for another chance to win Ginger’s heart, she can’t deny her first love. As he proves he’s a changed man, for Ginger it’s a dream come true. Until it twists into a nightmare when he vanishes once again. Unlike his previous disappearing acts, this time he leaves behind a trail of terrifying clues: The cryptic note doesn’t sound like him, but she recognizes his handwriting. The blood found is his, but a body hasn’t turned up. The bullet aimed at her missed, but it came with a deadly message. Despite the missing years and unanswered questions, nothing can scare Ginger, Tara, and Sloane away from digging into the past to save Rick…along with Ginger’s heart from breaking all over again. As their search drags them back to 1976, will flower power be enough to uncover The Who behind the threats? While the truth might be dangerous, what she doesn’t know might kill her.

OVER 100,000 COPIES SOLD of "twisty page-turning whodunnit thrills with a side dish of humor!" In 1969, Alice Belvedere disappeared after kidnapping a baby. Decades passed and the world forgot about her, until a body is found and her crimes are exposed. Except Bloodson Bay's infamous murder-solving trio—Tara, Ginger, and Sloane—don't believe what the press is pushing, that Alice was a baby-snatching monster. With Tara eight months pregnant, her focus is on constructing a crib, not cracking a case. But she has no choice but to get involved, considering where Alice's remains were in Tara's basement. Discovering the identity of that long-lost baby is the only way to stop a killer, but it's not easy to find someone who would rather die than be found. To complicate matters, Ginger's keeping secrets that could disrupt the investigation. Like letters from the correctional center she's hiding, and clandestine meetings with a person connected to Alice's death. It seems like everyone in town holds a piece of the puzzle, from the corrupt mayor to Sloane's new assistant. But when another homicide breaches their orbit like Neil Armstrong, they (won't get no) satisfaction until they solve the Swinging Sixties cold case. One way or another, they must get this skeleton to tell them what she knows because justice—and Tara's baby—is due.
