Inviting Trouble

“Good morning, Officer Buchanan.” Trixie sat on a desk, sweater a little too low for business casual and knee length skirt pushed up a little too high, a tin of cookies in her lap.
“You don’t work here.” His dark eyes were hungry but he wasn’t looking at her cookies.
“Of course not.” Trixie raised the tin to his eye level. “I’m just a concerned citizen. Oatmeal and cinnamon apple? Finest apples from the Wheldon orchard.”
The cookies did not distract him from the blackboard wheeled into the middle of the squad room. “What,” he asked, “is that?”
“What is what,” she said in a sweet voice.
“You can’t tamper with police equipment.”
“Oh, that. I found it in the supply closet. I thought I’d jot down some notes.”

Recently divorced, Trixie comes back home for the funeral of her best friend, Hazel. Just a housewife, she sweet talks her way in to the police station and works with the distractingly hot cop, Vincent, to close the case. Against warnings about interfering with an investigation, she pays each of the suspects a visit and gives them a thorough interrogation. There are secrets in this small Hudson Valley town and no one is exactly what they seem. Trixie punches holes in alibis and uncovers motives built on years of anger and neglect.

How far is she willing to go? All the way.
