Hole in One

Hole in One (A Piper Harris Mystery, Volume 5) Four months into their new lives in the witness protection program, Piper and her gran, former members of an illicit motorcycle gang, start to make peace with the fact that this is it. Well, in their own whip-out-your-weapons-at-every-opportunity kind of way. They’re part of the retirement complex in Bitter End, Florida, where they hate mostly everything: the climate, the jolly residents, the endless partying and competitive games—like the current mini-golf tournament that’s costing Piper and Gran their last nerve—and the practically forced socializing. Still, Piper has gotten an official approval from the director of the retirement complex to live with Gran. Open-ended. Yikes. But when one of the investors of the retirement complex is murdered and someone has been embezzling funds from the complex, suspicion falls on the director, Samuel Appleby. Too bad he bails as soon as the police need to question him. Piper realizes that her living with Gran—still the best of the worst options—depends on Samuel Appleby’s position as director. She more or less believes he’s innocent, but she needs to prove it too, or else she and everybody else can say goodbye to the good times at the Till the Bitter End Independent Living complex. With the help of Gran and Edie, their quirky, annoying, adorable, and feisty neighbor, Piper sets out to clear the goofy director while trying hard not to lose at the mini-golf tournament that won’t stop, not even for murder and embezzlement. Hole in One is perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich, Jana DeLeon, Gemma Halliday, Liliana Hart, and JB Lynn.
