Between hot flashes and divorce papers, a middle-aged woman reconsiders her outlook on life when she butts heads with a hot detective during a murder investigation.When Cece Cavanaugh's husband empties their joint bank account, steals her designer luggage, and runs off with a younger woman, Cece must decide whether to ask her manipulative mother-in-law for a handout or get a job. Choosing the easier path, Cece lands a job cleaning a crime scene where a high school coach was murdered. When his wife is implicated-a young woman Cece practically raised-Cece finds herself mopping floors, balancing an empty checkbook, and ferreting out a killer.Amid all this messy business, Cece bumps heads with a handsome detective. She tries to ignore her growing attraction to the detective, but he gives new meaning to the term "hot flash."After she stumbles onto a clue that could vindicate her friend, her elation turns to panic when she haphazardly confronts the killer. Through the danger and romance, Cece discovers self-reliance and inner strength.And that crime - at least, someone else's - does pay the bills.

Cece wants a day of self-care, mother-daughter time, and . . . anything but her ex-husband's wedding. But wedding it is, as she tries to sneak the groom's forgotten ring to her daughter before the ceremony. Her plan for a quick escape from the venue is thwarted when she discovers a body and a garden full of suspects, including her former mother-in-law. With the Cavanaugh name in danger of being dragged through the Wickford rumor mill, Cece's ex reluctantly asks her to investigate the suspicious death and put the gossip to rest. Cece agrees . . . if he'll pay off her van and save her housekeeper's job. The new detective in Wickford and missed phone calls from her boyfriend, Alder, create more trouble for Cece as she questions suspects and gathers clues-not just for the murder, but trying to figure out what is up with her missing boyfriend and his elusive voice mails. Every moment is precious, because the longer it takes for Cece to clear the family name, the more likely her ex is to back out of their deal. In a desperate attempt to end Cece's snooping, the killer sets a trap to silence her. Will Cece's hope for justice and a paid-off van go up in flames?
