Board Stiff (An Elliott Lisbon Mystery)

As director of the Ballantyne Foundation on Sea Pine Island, SC, Elliott Lisbon scratches her detective itch by performing discreet inquiries for Foundation donors. Usually nothing more serious than retrieving a pilfered Pomeranian. Until Jane Hatting, Ballantyne board chair, is accused of murder. The Ballantyne’s reputation tanks, Jane’s headed to a jail cell, and Elliott’s sexy ex is the new lieutenant in town. Armed with moxie and her Mini Coop, Elliott uncovers a trail of blackmail schemes, gambling debts, illicit affairs, and investment scams. But the deeper she digs to clear Jane’s name, the guiltier Jane looks. The closer she gets to the truth, the more treacherous her investigation becomes: a brutal attack on her own suspect and the murder of a witness. With victims piling up faster than shells at a clambake, Elliott realizes she’s next on the killer’s list. Start your next binge read with the PI-in-training dubbed “the Stephanie Plum of the South” from Agatha-Nominated author, Kendel Lynn. It’s mischief and misfortune you do not want to miss. - - - - - - - - - - - - - BOARD STIFF by Kendel Lynn | A Henery Press Mystery. If you like one, you'll probably like them all.
