Addie Henke records every word. Unfortunately, some people would rather their words stay buried.
It is Halloween in Santa Monica, 1996, and court reporter Addie Henke is reporting depositions for a case involving a crooked attorney, a Medi-Cal scam, and a growing list of people with something to hide. What should be another strange day in the legal world quickly turns into something much more dangerous when Addie starts noticing clues that do not add up.
Soon she is dodging danger, surviving a fiery car crash, and trying to figure out who is lying before someone makes sure she never gets the last word again.
With her quirky family, loyal friends, two Siamese cats named Law and Order, and a missing love from her past still haunting her heart, Addie has more than enough chaos to handle. But when secrets start surfacing, she may be the only one who can piece the truth together.
Perfect for readers who enjoy cozy mysteries with legal drama, humor, beach-town settings, quirky characters, and amateur sleuths who notice what everyone else misses.
