Crooked Ways (#7)
Available now in Ebook and Print!
Tai Randolph doesn’t like tailing adulterers. Or photographing cracked sidewalks. Or staking out insurance scammers.
But being an apprentice PI means doing what she’s told, filling out paperwork, and following the rules, all the rules. It’s a bit chafing for someone whose amateur sleuthing playbook included dodging, lying, and occasional light blackmail.
But then her past comes knocking. Literally.
After a decade in the wind, Tai’s Aunt Rowena reappears, and she’s convinced someone is trying to kill Beauregard Boone, the complicated ex-felon at the heart of Tai’s twisted family tree. It’s an intriguing case, even if it means returning to the coastal islands of Savannah, Georgia, a city that keeps breaking her heart over and over again.
Not that life in Atlanta is uncomplicated. Trey Seaver—her partner in both romance and crime solving—is keeping a secret. Her new job comes with a moral rectitude clause, so she has to be on her best behavior at all times. And unless she scrapes together some extra bucks, the electric bill is going to be paid late. Again.
But in Savannah, all she has to worry about is vehicular homicide, flying bullets, and an enemy who has been laying low for a long long time.
Tai’s got a choice to make. Safety and security where the only danger is boredom? Or risk and reward where the consequences could be deadly?
Praise for Crooked Ways
“Like fine wine this series continues to get better and better with each book written. The author knows how to tell a story that has you thoroughly immersed in the duo’s exploits as this riveting read sets the stage in this well-written mystery with a solidly wicked multi-plot scenario that converge to bring this reader an intensifying and enticing tale that quickly became a page-turner as I had to know how this was all going to end.”
“Tina Whittle is a master at crafting complex plots with more twists than the centuries-old live oaks that dot the low-country landscapes of her stories. I have yet to figure out the who-dun-it before Tai and Trey do! Add in a sense of comic timing that had me laughing out loud and luxurious wordsmithing that had me re-reading sentences just to savor the taste of them again, and you have a glimpse of what’s waiting for you between the covers of her books. But just a glimpse. The full course, you have to discover for yourself. So GO already!”
Praise for the Tai Randolph & Trey Seaver Series
““This continues to be an extraordinarily original, witty, and exceptionally written mystery series, and hopefully it will continue for years to come. Tai is an unstoppable force when she makes up her mind, and one sees the simmering chemistry between herself and Trey. Her acerbic humor and impulsiveness balance his rigid adherence to rules and structure, and together they are an outstandingly effective and skilled investigative team.””
