Strung Out To Die

Small-town cozy mystery with divorced sleuths.

Holly Harper's life is finally back on track after her divorce from "what's-his-name." Along with a group of women who've sworn off bad marriages and worse men, she's formed a self-help group known as the Divorced Divas—meeting regularly inside her bead shop, The Beaded Dragonfly, in the heart of Swanee, Kentucky.

The Divas may joke about revenge, but things turn deadly when the town's wealthiest bachelor, Doug Sloan, is found murdered on the floor of Holly's shop—with a string of cat-eye beads wrapped around his neck.

With her ex-husband tangled in town drama, old grudges resurfacing, and plenty of people who wanted Doug's money, Holly quickly realizes she's being framed. And if she doesn't uncover the truth, she could lose her business, her freedom, and everything she's worked to rebuild.

With the Divorced Divas at her side, Holly digs into small-town rivalries, messy breakups, and secrets hiding behind polite smiles. Because in Swanee, revenge might be joked about—but murder is never part of the plan.

A witty, small-town cozy mystery filled with friendship, gossip, and a group of women who refuse to be underestimated—perfect for readers who love craft-themed sleuths, strong female leads, and clean whodunits with heart.
