Synopsis (Goodreads):
It's a busy end of summer for Lacey Pinkerton and so much is happening Lacey can hardly keep up. Ryder returns but his arrival does not go as expected and Lacey finds herself smack in the center of a Lola driven bout of drama. On top of that there's a new detective in town. While Lacey's happy that Briggs will have more free time (especially if it's spent with her) she's not too sure about Detective Fairchild. And worse, it seems Detective Fairchild is not too sure about Lacey.Thoughts on Jasmine and Jealousy: Things are never boring in Port Danby, are they? Ryder's back from his South American adventure which is GREAT for Lacey and her flower shop, but a misguided attempt at a prank already has Ryder and Lola on the outs. (Honestly, Lola is as dramatic as my mom's cat when he wants to go outside in the morning. There's a lot of yowling and dramatic flounces that are sort of entertaining to watch, but only for short periods of time.) Meanwhile, a new detective on the force means Briggs will have some actual downtime. Probably.
A taco truck arrives in town. The popular Taco Brothers run a smooth operation but the relationship between the siblings is anything but smooth. When one of the brothers winds up dead, Lacey is anxious to help investigate. But the new detective doesn't want her around. Of course that doesn't stop her from finding out who killed the Taco Brother. And in the midst of such a whirlwind week, Lacey finally gets a big break on the Hawksworth murder.
Will Lacey finally put together the pieces to solve the hundred-year-old murder mystery?
The problem? The first day Briggs has off in AGES has a dead body popping up and the new detective takes lead. Only, she's not convinced Lacey should be involved (even though it was Lacey who found the body - of course) and Lacey's 100% certain she SHOULD be involved. Which leads to a little bit of tension, as you might imagine.
Lacey being Lacey, she low-key investigates the current murder while also spending some of her downtime on the Hawksworth murders. AND BOY DOES SHE GET HER MONEY'S WORTH WITH THOSE INVESTIGATIONS.
Yep, there's a lot going on here. Which means there's a little danger (very little, for once) and a lot of sleuthing. Good stuff all around.
