A missing dog collar, a sorority house, and a kidnapping gone horribly wrong. Papaya Springs has kept Bexley Squires on her toes since her ill-fated return. But when a frantic celebrity from her past comes banging on the door of Stronghold Investigations, Bexley quickly offers her services. With pressure from her hunky police detective boyfriend to move in, and her father and his trophy wife … trophy wife demanding help, Bexley is sucked down into a quagmire of emotional blackmail and self-doubt. Going from investigative reporter to private dick wasn’t much of a stretch, but going from a self-sufficient woman to playing house and feeling duped pushes Bexley to the snapping point.
With trouble brewing behind the too perfect façade of Kappa Kappa, Bexley uncovers something much more sinister than a simple theft. When her own innocence unexpectedly comes under question, she’ll need her network of friends more than ever.

Bexley is at it again. This time with a group of sorority girls. This is a fast paced story as Bex digs into the investigation of the lost collar and tries to stay out of jail. Her relationship with her boyfriend has also become strained as they both seem to want different things in life. She continues to find herself in tough spots and barely escaping death. The story continues.
The second book in the Bexley Squires series does not disappoint! It is a quick read and it has great characters and twists and turns that will keep you guessing the whole time. Temperance Rose’s dog is kidnapped, and when the dog is returned, her million dollar collar is missing. So, she hires Bexley to find the collar and the thief. But, as Bexley digs deep into her investigation, she finds much more dangerous secrets lurking below the surface. Bexley is gritty and funny someone I cannot wait to read more about.
Oh yes, Quinn Avery brings our main woman sleuth Bexley back to solve the unsolvable. This time we go into the land of sorority girls… oh yeah, can you imagine how easy that was to get strait honest answers! Correct, it wasn’t.
I feel like this story had a bit more twists and surprises than the previous book. I enjoyed the previous book, The Dead Girl’s Stilettos, a lot but I feel like we didn’t have to waste as much time developing Bex. I loved that we get a bit into Bex’s love life with Grayson and the ups and down of that. Bex can’t seem to keep herself out of danger. Miss Quinn is amazing at keeping me guessing and wondering Round in her twists. I can’t wait to see where Bex continues to take us in the next book!
I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that… my opinions.
I am loving this new series by Quinn Avery! This is the second book in the Bexley Squires Mystery series and this girl Bexley is definitely keeping readers on their toes!
Finding trouble at every turn, Bexley thrills with her mystery solving skills.
The Million Dollar Collar follows a pricey puppy collar that has been stolen and Bexley has been tasked to find it.
As in The Dead Girl’s Stilettos, Bexley continues to dredge up information the town of Papaya Springs wishes would stay hidden. With every new piece of information she finds, trouble and danger come with it, ultimately putting herself in the line of fire.
Not only does she have mysteries to solve, but her new relationship with Grayson has a continual ebb and flow that leaves her confused and unsettled.
Honestly, I am pretty crazy about this series. I love characters that I can follow from book to book and become invested in them. This group of characters has really struck a chord with me and in The Million Dollar Collar a new character is introduced. I believe we will see more of said person going forward and that makes me deliriously happy!
This is a stand a lone novel. Each story line is different and doesn’t carry through to the next. I would say though that the relationships evolve, so personally I would start with The Dead Girl’s Stilettos if you haven’t read it already!
Be prepared to put Quinn Avery on your one click list! This promises to be a wild ride!
5 stars all the way!
I devoured this book in two days! Normally I read about a book a week, but this one was so good, I just couldn’t put it down. I read book one, The Dead Girl’s Stilettos, and loved that one but am always a little leery of new series. I was not disappointed in the least, this one is every bit as good as the second one and once again Quinn kept me guessing until the very end. All the twists and turns that are weaved into this story line will make you question every single person and their possible motives and intentions. Nobody is safe from suspicion. Bexley will find the answers by the end of the book and will leave you wanting yet another mystery for her to unravel.
