The Piper Harris Mysteries: BOX SET (Volumes 1-3 ) Coming in Hot, Fool Me Once and Bar None

The Piper Harris Mysteries: Volumes 1-3 by Deany Ray (Author) With almost 15,000 reviews and an average rating of 4.5, the Piper Harris mystery series proves to be a definite crowd-pleaser. "I wanted to read it from the first two sentences."

This box set includes: COMING IN HOT Starting a new life in Florida means year-round sunshine, beautiful beaches, and balmy breezes. For most people, anyway. But not for thirtysomething Piper and her grandmother, former members of a motorcycle gang in Oregon. For them, it means entering the witness protection program and moving to Bitter End in the Sunshine State. Yes, to Bitter End. It doesn’t get much more ironic than this. But hey, it’s better than rotting in jail for getting busted with tax evasion and money laundering, and infinitely better than getting killed by said gang for testifying against them.

Needless to say, they both have difficulties adjusting to life in Florida. Moving into a retirement community and dealing with all those quirky characters? Wearing flip-flops instead of biker boots? Where do you even hide your gun if you’re wearing those godawful muumuu dresses? Not to mention, they’re supposed to keep everything on the right side of the law now? Ugh!

Oh, and there’s that dead body in their neighbor’s front yard. Instead of laying low, Piper and her Gran can't help but get sucked into the murder mystery. After all, seeking out excitement and adrenaline is in their DNA. When they realize they’re in too deep and their cover is almost blown, they have no other choice but to find the killer before it’s too late.

FOOL ME ONCE Thirtysomething Piper Harris and her grandmother, former members of a motorcycle gang, are struggling to adjust to their new life in Bitter End, Florida, after being relocated there at a retirement complex as part of the witness protection program. Let’s just say Gran laundered money so well, she washed away their freedom. It’s crucial for Piper and Gran to lay low, but how can they do that when they get involved in another murder investigation? Lloyd and Tammy Feldman are financial managers, offering investments to the seniors of the Bitter End retirement community. But when Tammy turns up dead and Lloyd becomes a fugitive, their business is exposed as a fraud. Now, the seniors are searching for answers, for Lloyd, and for their money. And Piper searches as well. Nobody messes with her tribe. Yes, okay, it takes some convincing from her mischief-loving next-door neighbor, Edie, but what else is new?

Will Piper blow the lid off the swindle, or will she blow her own cover?

BAR NONE It’s been two months since Piper and her Gran relocated to Bitter End, Florida, as part of the witness protection program, and things are only slightly looking up. That is, if you don’t count another murder. Piper has taken a bartending job at a dive bar that’s shadier than a palm tree at night. Dealing with questionable characters comes with the territory, but she’s used to that. After she threatens one of the patrons with a knife, she stumbles upon his dead body in the alley later that night. She is not used to that.

She is content to let the police deal with it, but then, on the corpse, she finds a note with her name on it—her witness protection name—which will now need further protection! Piper is then propelled into a high-stakes pursuit of uncovering her mysterious connection to a total stranger-turned-murder-victim. Between launching her own investigation, meeting new shady characters along the way, and dealing with foot powder and garden gnomes at the retirement complex where she lives with Gran, Piper has her hands full. Not to mention Ryker, the hottest PI around town and then some, who seems to have made the phrase “bad time to show up” a mantra he lives by.

One thing’s for sure: Piper has to untangle the web of clues and deceit before her real identity gets caught in it!
