About this series
For fans of Carl Hiaasen and Janet Evanovich comes a loveable and light-hearted mystery about ballroom dancing, bandits … and bad brie?
After decades spying for a top-secret shadow agency, Delphine Lougheed is ready to enjoy her well-deserved retirement in sunny Los Angeles. But while Delphine might think she's done with the espionage business, it doesn't seem to be done with her…
At the end of a fun evening of ballroom dancing with friends, Delphine's former boss accuses her of a most heinous crime—cheese smuggling! But this is no ordinary case of lactose-based larceny. When Delphine and her former spy partner Kenji Yamamoto discover there's a connection to a past intel operation that led to the death of one of their colleagues, they realize she's on the verge of being framed for much more than fromage filching.
With Kenji determined to stay firmly retired, Delphine needs outside help. There's only one other person she can trust: Florida Police Detective Roland Magnusson. Unfortunately, he's not too happy to see the woman who recently thwarted his investigation into a ring of senior jewel thieves.
But with a little help from those laid-back SoCal vibes—and a few tiki room drinks—Roland puts his animosity aside to help Delphine figure out who's got the money and who's got the motive. And if they don't sniff out the true criminal soon, Delphine's retirement plans could end in a big stink.

For fans of Carl Hiaasen, Janet Evanovich, and Harper Lin's Granny series comes a quirky and clever tale about grandmas, good times … and grand theft? Griffin Beckett is fresh out of a job—and luck. Her family just put her in charge of going to Florida to retrieve her grandma Marge Flanders, who's ditched her former life in Oklahoma to move in with the "canasta team" she met on a recent senior's cruise. When Griffin finds a giant diamond in their bachelorette pad's shag carpet, it doesn't take her long to deduce that the three partying septuagenarians, known as the Blingsters, could be up to no good, might possibly be jewel thieves, and are most definitely corrupting her dear innocent G-ma. Hosting all-night ragers and shopping for more party gowns than you can shake a cane at, Marge is having too much fun to consider leaving. And even though Griffin's in no hurry to get back to her annoying husband and jobless future, when her crafty grandma gives her the slip at the airport, she knows she's in way over her head. Desperate for help, she calls in her other grandmother, Delphine—who may or may not be a retired super spy. Meanwhile, Police Detective Roland Magnusson, eager to prove to his boss that he's not after an imaginary ring of senior cat burglars, is hot on the Blingsters' trail, and will stop at nothing to get his man … or grandma! The clues stack up against Marge, and her retirement looks set to end behind bars. And as Griffin wrestles with a dilemma of her own, the lines between "good" and "bad" start to blur. Is everyone as innocent—or guilty—as they seem? The Blingsters is the first book in the Old School Mystery Series. Each can be read as a stand-alone. Nab your copy today!
