A Charleston murder puts Hadley Cooper’s rule to the test

Set on Sullivan’s Island and in Charleston, this mystery brings private investigator Hadley Cooper into a case that strains both her professional boundaries and her relationship with SLED agent Cash Reynolds. Hadley takes on the defense of Bridget Donovan, a housekeeper accused of killing a wealthy socialite, and investigates a circle that includes Charleston society, a difficult former in-law, and an obscure Nashville country singer. Alongside the murder inquiry, a family mystery draws Hadley into questions about what she thought she knew of her own past. The plot pairs a women-led investigation with romantic and family complications in a South Carolina setting.

Book overview

Private Investigator Hadley Cooper has a knack for finding trouble-and this time, it's wearing pearls.

 

Life on Sullivan's Island is about as close to bliss as it gets-bike rides at sunrise, cases that don't make headlines, and a romance with SLED agent Cash Reynolds that's finally on solid ground. They have one ironclad rule: never work the same case.

 

When a wealthy Charleston socialite turns up dead, Cash charges her housekeeper, Bridget Donovan, with murder. But the young single mother has a formidable ally in Carolyn Talbot, a local matriarch who implores Hadley to help. Hadley's heart overrides her head, and her agreement with Cash is gone like confetti in a hurricane.

 

Soon she's wading through a tangle of suspects-blue bloods with deadly secrets, her client's scheming ex-monster-in-law, and the greatest unknown country singer in Nashville. But Hadley's also grappling with a mystery closer to home-one that will shake everything she thought she knew about her family.

 

To find justice for Bridget, Hadley will have to risk her heart, her life-and maybe her grip on reality.
