It takes a book club to solve a crime, and these women have the guts to see that justice is done!
Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author, Joanna Campbell Slan has written a cozy series that readers call “amazing!”

The year is 1986. Cragan Collins and her housemates are working women determined to survive in a man's world, despite the evil games they are forced to play. But a love for reading—and solving mysteries—creates an unbreakable bond that'll see these “girls” through their toughest times.

Meet Cragan, whose TV sports anchor husband cheats on her and runs up tons of debt...Rosa, who immigrated from Mexico to keep her young son safe...Zee, who regularly gets pulled over for DWB (Driving While Black)...and Pru, a stripper with a mysterious past and a heart of gold.

They live in a converted house in a dying city, where soybean dust blankets the landscape with a thick, smelly yellow mess. In a world that forces women to “dress for success,” where sexism is rampant, these women realize that sisterhood is powerful—and they're out to prove it as they solve one crime after another!
