What starts as Girl's Night Out ends in murder, and Harmony Duprie is a suspect.
She's innocent, of course, but with no alibi, the sheriff's department won't remove her from the list of suspects. It doesn't help when a waitress from the bar gets beaten up and the only clue is a slip of paper with Harmony's name on it. Throw in a rookie deputy dead set on building his reputation and Harmony must tread carefully.
But caution isn't Harmony's middle name and she plunges head first into danger to defend her honor.
What she finds is a web of half-truths and suspicions implicating several law enforcement agencies, with Jake, her ex-lover, stuck in the middle of it all.
Can Harmony rescue Jake and find the real culprit before she becomes the next victim?
I absolutely love the spunky, independent, charming librarian/researcher protagonist—Harmony Duprie. She calls her car —Delores… and her gun —Betsy. And her driving skills in evading cars when they tail Delores are exceptional. She's also quite adept at using Betsy as well, if needed. Both the local police and the FBI are often found keeping a watchful eye on Harmony, assisting her, and asking for help from her. Bad guys beware of Harmony Duprie. I thoroughly enjoyed The Baron’s Cufflinks and I highly recommend it and the entire Oakgrove Mystery series. They are fun, action-packed, suspenseful, and delightful reads.
The Baron's Cufflinks might be my favorite installment of the Oak Grove Mysteries so far. If you want a cozy read after a stressful day and have a high tolerance for typos/errors, this could be a nice option for you. I plan to read the rest of the series.
