Summary

An exhilarating novel about fast friends and fashionable revenge by Liz Talley, the USA Today bestselling author of Adulting.

Antique-store owner Cricket Crosby’s life is turned upside down when she discovers that the rumors of her husband’s affair aren’t just leisurely Southern gossip. Her plan: hire an investigator; find an attorney; enlist the help of her new assistant, Ruby; and make her husband pay.

Ruby knows how quickly everything changes. After a dicey past, she’s determined to forge a new future by working for Cricket and reinventing herself as a designer, deconstructing vintage haute couture. If anybody can help mend a few tears in Cricket’s life, she can.

But turns out Cricket’s life isn’t just a little torn. It’s wrinkled, stained, and falling apart at the seams. With Ruby and her ragtag relatives—a soused PI and a hunky tow truck driver—Cricket is sleuthing her way to the truth, no matter how dangerous it gets.

Sure, Cricket’s life isn’t what she imagined. But she’s embracing change and figuring out what she really wants. And that’s kind of fabulous.

Critic reviews

“Narrators Christina Delaine and Mikhaila Aaseng combine forces to tell the story of Cricket and Ruby…. Each narrator is aptly suited to the characters.… Aaseng's narration evolves as Ruby's feelings transition from sullenness to acceptance of her family. Delaine brings out Cricket's determination to deal with her husband. The two narrators complement each other's portrayals.”AudioFile Magazine

“Heartwarming and hilarious, this story was everything I’ve come to expect from a Liz Talley book. I adore Cricket and her ragtag team of sleuths, and I couldn’t wait to find out the truth about her husband. Don’t skip this fun and delicious read!”—Darynda Jones, New York Times bestselling author

“…Such a fun read—feisty and funny southern fiction. Made me feel like I’m in the deep south on a fun adventure. The characters are flawed but fascinating.”—Pamela Kelley, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author
