*One of The Top 50 Self-Published Books Worth Reading – 2015 at *Blood TiesLiAnn Tuck and her daughter, Karina Summers, are settling into their new life, enjoying the small farming community of Sheridan, Arkansas. The slower pace, compared to the craziness of Los Angeles, is a welcome distraction for them both. Taking care of her aging parents and their small farm is just what LiAnn needs to … small farm is just what LiAnn needs to forget her twenty-five-year career as a detective. And Karina’s new love interest brings back the smile she lost from years of undercover work and her cheating ex-boyfriend.
The Bonds
Their idyllic lifestyle changes the minute a family friend, Cecil Pickard, pays a visit. He lives at The Magnolia, an independent living facility in Hot Springs, and believes someone is stealing from him. LiAnn and Karina offer to investigate and suddenly find themselves inside a living nightmare.
Are Permanent
Theft isn’t the only criminal activity taking place inside the historic, stately walls of The Magnolia. Organized crime has infiltrated Hot Springs, and what they’re after is not only money, but life itself. As LiAnn and Karina dig deeper, they might just be digging their own graves.

seems to me the mother and daughter team do well together writing this one.
While the plot was excellent, it was ruined by frequent illicit sex and foul language which was unnecessary to the plot. A good story does not have to depend on steamy sex scenes to interest the reader. They belong in a romance novel, not in a detective novel.
Good job.
Fast paced
Reminder of Dragon Tattoo books condensed
Painted a realistic picture of struggles in that time period as well as the plight of teachers.
Kept my interest. Good story and charachters
