Book One

The Bell Bottom Girls: One smart, one sweet, one surly. Together, they make the perfect detective. Individually…they are three uptight gals.

Winona, Sandy, and Barb, three sixty-something ladies, each have secrets they would like to keep buried. At a calamitous crossroads in their lives, they become unlikely housemates in the quaint mountainside town of Agatha, Washington, where they can discreetly lick their wounds and lie low.

When they stumble over the dead body of a newly arrived fourth housemate, a tall drink of water who hustles into town with more baggage than just his suitcases, the ladies split the scene. After all, when you’re trying to fly under the radar, the last thing you need is to be in the hot seat of a murder investigation.

But when the Bell Bottom Girls discover a treasure map as they snoop through his luggage…well, ladies, grab your shovels! Digging up the town only puts them in the sheriff’s crosshairs, and their flimsy fibs make them the prime suspects.

When it appears the other suspects aren’t who they say they are, it looks like the ladies aren’t the only ones jive talking. Finding the real killer, and the pile of cash, is their only shot to keep on truckin.

At the crossroads of shuffleboard or sleuthing…can you dig it?
