A CHRISTMAS CON IN AN ELVIS-LOVING STING OPERATION...
For small town cozy mystery fans, who enjoy a holiday road trip with stops for a crime caper, a little romance, and a lot of laughs. From The Wall Street Journal bestselling author Larissa Reinhart, don't miss the prequel novella to the award-winning and best-selling Cherry Tucker Mystery, Portrait of a Dead Guy.
"For a fun, Elvis-loving mystery treat, no place is better than the Heartache Motel. Follow the clues to Christmas filled with cozy mystery at its best." - Nancy J Parra, USA TODAY bestselling author of the Baker's Treat Mysteries and the Perfect Proposal Mysteries
For the sassy, Southern portrait artist Cherry Tucker, a stay at the Heartache Motel will not make for a "Holly Jolly Christmas." Instead, she finds it requires quick wits and a sharp lookout for crooked characters ready to deliver a dose of "Blue Christmas" to any victim they can con.
When Cherry and her poker-loving boyfriend, Todd, pop into Memphis to help Todd's cousin, they find he's been hustled out of his savings. Staying at the shady Heartache Motel, Cherry can't tell a swindler from a mark and fears everyone is playing them for chumps. Cherry and Todd quickly find themselves in a dangerous sting that could send them to the slammer or mark them as pigeons by cons looking for an even bigger score.
For a fun-filled romp through a gritty gambler's view of Memphis, grab Cherry's Christmas caper today!
