By Appointment Only

By Appointment Only marks the thrilling return of Grace, Sam, Maria-Teresa, and Margot—the fearless, wacky sleuths we’ve come to love. Thanks to Grace, the ladies can now proudly call themselves professional investigators. While three of them are content handling routine cases at the newly formed Liu Jones Group Investigations Agency, Grace Liu craves more to fuel her adrenaline.

Grace’s ambition leads her to pursue a high-profile murder case, one she hopes will cement the agency’s reputation as one of the best in Mesa, Arizona. But as the women soon discover, you should be careful what you wish for. They’re hired by an unusual client to solve the murder of local celebrity author Ainsley Chao.

The case pulls the team into a labyrinth of psychological and emotional motives behind Chao’s death. At the same time, Grace privately wrestles with unanswered questions about the reported death of Rhys, her long-time black ops handler and former lover.

Amid the twists, turns, and shocking revelations of the Chao murder, the women face personal growth, forge deeper bonds, and experience heart-pounding excitement that will keep you on the edge of your seat. This second installment masterfully continues the series’ signature blend of intricate mysteries, engaging character narratives, and unwavering honesty.
