Spunky and outspoken Eve Appel moves from Connecticut to rural Florida intent on starting a new life, free of drama, and more importantly, her soon-to-be ex-husband. The rural Florida town of Sabal Bay, situated only an hour from West Palm, proves to be the perfect spot for her consignment store. Thanks to the recent economic downturn, Florida’s society matrons need a place to discreetly sell their stuff and pick up expensive-looking bargains. But Eve’s life, and her business with it, is turned upside down when a wealthy customer is found stabbed to death in a fitting room.
As accusations fly and business slows, Eve decides to take things into her own hands. With the help of an unlikely bunch of friends—including her estranged ex, her best friend, a handsome private eye, and a charming mafia don—she struggles to find answers and save lives. Through a maze of distorted half-truths, dramatic cover-ups, and unrequited passions, Eve learns just how far the wealthy will go to regain what they have lost.

Lesley A. Diehl
Bio:
Lesley retired from her life as a professor of psychology and
reclaimed her country roots by moving to a small cottage in the Butternut River
Valley in upstate New York.
In the winter she migrates to old Florida—cowboys,
scrub palmetto, and open fields of grazing cattle, a place where spurs still
jingle in the post office, and gators make golf a contact sport. Back north, the shy ghost inhabiting the
cottage serves as her writing muse. When
not writing, she gardens, cooks and renovates the 1874 cottage with the help of
her husband, two cats, and, of course, Fred the ghost, who gives artistic
direction to their work.
She is the author of several mystery series, all featuring
country gals with attitude: the microbrewing mystery series set in the Butternut
Valley of upstate New York—A Deadly
Draught and Poisoned Pairings; the
Big Lake Murder Mystery series—Dumpster Dying
and Grilled, Chilled and Killed; and
the Eve Appel Mysteries Series. Untreedreads publishes her short stories
as well as a novel length mystery, Angel
Sleuth. She invites readers to visit
her on her blog and website.
