Fool Me Once

A Piper Harris Mystery, Volume 2

By: Deany Ray

Narrated by: Jenn Lee

Thirtysomething Piper Harris and her grandmother, former members of a motorcycle gang, are struggling to adjust to their new life in Bitter End, Florida, after being relocated there at a retirement complex as part of the witness protection program.

Let’s just say Gran laundered money so well, she washed away their freedom.

It’s crucial for Piper and Gran to lay low, but how can they do that when they get involved in another murder investigation?

Lloyd and Tammy Feldman are financial managers, offering investments to the seniors of the Bitter End retirement community.

But when Tammy turns up dead and Lloyd becomes a fugitive, their business is exposed as a fraud. Now, the seniors are searching for answers, for Lloyd, and for their money.

And Piper searches as well. Nobody messes with her tribe. Yes, okay, it takes some convincing from her mischief-loving next-door neighbor, Edie, but what else is new?

Will Piper blow the lid off the swindle, or will she blow her own cover?

Fool Me Once is perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich, Jana DeLeon, Gemma Halliday, Liliana Hart, and JB Lynn.

Fun cozy

This is the second book in the series and it's as good as the first. Harper is good hearted underneath her though exterior but she's having problems with her new life in the witness protection program which landed her and her grandmother in a retirement village. Her older neighbor, Edie, drags her into another mystery.

The characters in this story are so much fun and the plot is unique and fast moving. No gore, just a lot of twists. The narration is also good.
