Mystery beckons when a young woman seeks out budding amateur detective Pineapple “Motts” Mottley to find her missing mother in the third novel of the Motts Cold Case Mystery series. 

Murder comes to Motts’s doorstep when a stranger asks her to investigate a suspicious disappearance. Past experience tells her to say no yet her curiosity wins out. What’s the harm in asking a few questions? 

The missing person case quickly evolves into murder when a body is found in the strangest circumstances. Motts sifts through various suspects and lies, only to come face to face with danger. Things become even more personal when a killer from her childhood makes an unwelcome appearance.  

How many close calls can Motts escape? 

Will she survive amidst a flood of beer and a catastrophic inferno? 

 Available now! 


We started out this story learning about what Motts had done with Moss. What hard decision did she make? What did we learn about Teo? I liked him! Who is Paisley? How and why did she show up unannounced at Motts' home? What did Paisley ask of Motts on that very rainy day? What happened when River drove Motts to meet up with Paisley? Why did Motts think Dempsey was in town? Who is the new inspector? Oh goodness, when Dempsey came by after Paisley has just left, what Dempsey said floored me! Who were Ernest? Who was driving the mysterious pale blue car that kept showing up? What did we learn about Health and Louis? Read and see what narrow escapes Motts finds herself in.
