Board Stiff (An Elliott Lisbon Mystery Book 1)

â€œWith an intelligent woman sleuth, a unique blend of quirky supporting characters and a well-devised mystery plot, Board Stiff is delightfully entertaining.â€ â€“ Fresh Fiction

As director of the Ballantyne Foundation on Sea Pine Island, SC, Elliott Lisbon scratches her detective itch by performing discreet inquiries for Foundation donors. Usually nothing more serious than retrieving a pilfered Pomeranian. Until Jane Hatting, Ballantyne board chair, is accused of murder. The Ballantyneâ€™s reputation tanks, Janeâ€™s headed to a jail cell, and Elliottâ€™s sexy ex is the new lieutenant in town.

Armed with moxie and her Mini Coop, Elliott uncovers a trail of blackmail schemes, gambling debts, illicit affairs, and investment scams. But the deeper she digs to clear Janeâ€™s name, the guiltier Jane looks. The closer she gets to the truth, the more treacherous her investigation becomes: a brutal attack on her own suspect and the murder of a witness. With victims piling up faster than shells at a clambake, Elliott realizes sheâ€™s next on the killerâ€™s list.

â€œElliottâ€™s not just a charity director or a social host or a disastrous dater or a fledgling private eyeâ€”sheâ€™s all of these things. Elliott Lisbon is a Renaissance woman, dammit, and that makes her uniquely suited for the task at hand. Renaissance women know how to throw good parties, but as it turns out, theyâ€™re also perfectly capable of catching cold-blooded killers; it simply takes determination and a little chutzpahâ€”two things the Ballantyne Foundationâ€™s director has in spades.â€ â€“ CriminalElement.com
