    About this series

    If there's one thing author Olivia Novak loves more than books it's family dirt. The success of her deceased mother's best-selling novel, Indigo to Black, begs for further investigation to find out if the so-called fictional murder is true. But she has one complication: the new love of Olivia's life, 62-year-old attorney Woody Rainey, is connected to the story through his mother, too. Woody's mother sued Olivia and her two sisters, Lauren and Danny, over Indigo to Black. Cracking open the family "dirtball" is key to her and Woody's future. And dead mothers tell no tales.

    Digging into the truth begins under the hot lights of a book auction in New York. A collection of Woody's inherited books is about to be sold. Letting go of first editions is nearly as tough for Olivia as removing her old wedding ring. In a desperate move before the hammer drops, Olivia makes a shocking decision that could blow apart her and Woody's relationship.

    This calamity requires a clean-up call to Olivia's street team in Portland, Oregon: her two sisters, Lauren and Danny, a Portland cop, and a pair of wise-guy therapy dogs, Pogo and Beauregard. But a monster snowstorm arrives with them. Protecting Mom's reputation takes more than an unbreakable sibling bond and a vow of lifelong love—it requires a risk of life and limb and a four-wheel drive to have a sit-down with elderly mobsters in a Pennsylvania prison.

      Portland, Oregon’s own best-selling romance author, Olivia Novak, should have been entering life’s third act with a sparkling clean storybook Tudor, her first serious novel under her belt, and a real-life romance with her husband of thirty-two years. Instead, her husband was killed in a hit-and-run, a case the police have shelved, and she’s too worn out from her own obsessive three-year hunt for the culprit to write. Now, her mother has died. As the executrix of the estate, which doesn’t amount to much, Olivia prefers managing the paperwork to keeping a lid on the combustible brew that is her two sisters, Lauren and Danielle. At sixty, Lauren is Mom’s mouthy memory defender as she waits for the daily chime of wine o’clock. Danielle, the pampered baby of the family at forty-five, suddenly has nowhere to go, having lived with Mom since walking out on her fiancé, Ryan, a Portland cop. ​Olivia thinks the final straw is her elderly neighbor, R. D. Griffin, asking her to dog-sit Pogo, his unruly standard poodle. But she’s wrong. When R. D. goes missing, the three sisters and Pogo stick their noses into the case . . . and the dog senses something fishy. Can Pogo unite the sisters, help Ryan solve both cases, and inspire Olivia to deliver her next book? Olivia needs a lifeline from Mom from beyond the crematory urn, and she finds one in the safe―in the form of a manuscript. Olivia’s in for the story of her life, all right―but it’s beyond anything she could write on her own.

      Courtney Pierce brings us the second entry of this hilarious and poignant trilogy of three sisters who dig into their family dirt. What they find is sibling love, laughter, and tears. The Dushane sisters are back. Television interviews can be tricky. When best-selling author Olivia Novak is asked to appear on a New York talk show for her new book, The Executrix, she isn’t prepared for the invitation to include her two middle-age sisters, Lauren and Danny, and also Danny’s spoiled therapy dog, Pogo. If the trip from Portland, Oregon, isn’t enough of a fiasco, the interview becomes a three-sister calamity. Slip-ups from Danny and Lauren about two other books - their mother’s posthumously published murder mystery and Olivia’s secret mobster memoir - set off a chain reaction of unwanted attention. Before they even leave the studio, the sisters are threatened with a lawsuit from Mom’s elderly cousin and hit the radar of the Philadelphia mob. With video of Pogo’s shocked expression replaying on the giant screens in Times Square, Olivia goes into damage control. She piles her sisters, the dog, and their family baggage into an SUV to confront their accuser in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire - with a silver Lincoln tracking her bumper in the rearview mirror. Protecting Mom’s reputation might get them all killed - or give Olivia the ultimate story she’s been dying to live.
