Check out this great new review from Rainbow Book Reviews: “Chandler’s writing style is delightfully easy to read – the action scenes are described with just the right amount of detail, the dialogue between the characters is snappy, and the more emotional episodes are handled with sensitivity. It’s a fantastic mix, and I couldn’t put it down. Bring on episode two!”
Listen to the opening:
The Blurb
Shay O’Hanlon is the co-owner of the hip, quirky Rabbit Hole, a popular coffee shop in Uptown Minneapolis. Police detective JT Bordeaux and her partner show up at the Hole in search of Shay’s best friend, Coop—a chain-smoking, vegetarian tree hugger—who’s wanted for questioning in connection with the bludgeoning death of his less-than-respectable boss, Stanley “Kinky” Anderson. Coop’s prints are all over the murder weapon—an over-sized, bronzed bingo marker—and the cops have themselves a prime suspect.
Suddenly, Shay’s quiet but highly caffeinated world spins out of control faster than a ride on a fairground Tilt-A-Whirl as she tries to save her friend. Complicating matters are a couple of bumbling mobsters, a missing truckload of stolen nuts, an abused mutt named Dawg, a kidnapping or two, and a very persistent Detective Bordeaux. Will Shay and her friends succeed in their quest to clear Coop and nail the murderer or will their nutty caper wind up deadly?
