Out of the Storm

A tropical storm blows through Sinful, leaving a mess and a casket in its wake. Ida Belle and Gertie are there to check it out first, but there isn't a body inside--only a diamond ring and evidence that the corpse might not have been alone in the casket. Jo, Minnow, and Mo join forces with Sinful's spunky senior sleuths to figure out what happened. But then the body is put back, Minnow is assaulted, and the body is taken--again. Obviously, someone wants that ring, and it isn't poor little old Birdie Stockton, the deceased. Jo's sure there's a thief on the loose and the investigation leads them to new heights (Mo's hair) and lows (crashing a funeral). Meanwhile, Minnow and Marc attempt to sort out their relationship while Jo faces her looming housing crisis. Throw in a house fire, late-night confessions, and a midnight mix-up at Mo's... and it's business as usual in Sinful. Author's note: This is Fan Fiction.
