Product Description
Product Description
Life in small town Lair has never been so interesting...
Phineas Nobul just got fired. Again. Three years ago Phineas Nobul was at the top of her game as a defense attorney in Los Angeles. When the Lair, New York native returned home for the holidays she was surprised to find herself willing to give it all up for love. Now brokenhearted, nearly penniless, and rooming with a judgmental basset hound,
She has no idea how she's going to pay next month's rent...
Phoebe, the eldest and more mature and responsible Nobul daughter, envies her little sister's free spirit and loathes her unreliability. This is never more the case than when Phoebe finds herself dumped on her wedding day and her little sister nowhere to be found. When Phineas resurfaces and much wine has been consumed, a thought forms itself that will give both sisters the fresh start they so desperately need which involves the heinous idea of Phoebe quitting her successful career in publishing to team up as private investigators with Phineas. Phoebe rejects the idea at first but then sees this as a chance to reinvent her life as well as her strained relationship with her sister. With Phoebe's business background and Phineas' freaky talent of getting information from thin air, the Nobul sisters decide to open Lair's first private investigation service...
The Artemis Agency is barely opened when a corpse is left for the Nobul sisters accompanied with a foreboding warning that has the sisters bunking together. The only problem is that they are just as intrigued as they are terrified. As the bodies begin piling up, Phoebe and Phineas get caught up in a case of conspiracy and scandal that once haunted small-town Lair...
Enter the farthest thing from a White Knight that Lair P.D. has to offer: Officer Cooper Rudo AKA "Officer Yummy." The true-life version of tall, dark, and handsome isn't exactly chivalrous or honorable, but he makes one sister melt with a smile and ends up healing her broken heart. Whether or not he can hang on as he%u2019s thrown into the world of Phineas and Phoebe just might prove if true love does exist...
"Crazy" Grandma Becky also lends a hand to help the girls solve Lair's mysterious past. This trigger-happy, ex-Vegas showgirl who has ties to the mafia just might be the inspiration Phoebe and Phineas need to find out who is behind all the murder in their once-peaceful hometown...
Add in a hunky yet overprotective veterinarian, Greg Watson, who has his own opinions of how things should be done. Affectionate and loving on the outside, on the inside he does his best to control the situation, especially as his relationship with one sister draws him deeper into the mystery...
But this killer is gaining ground and the body count is rising. Mysterious vehicles, dark messages, and a past no one knows about just might prove that in Lair exists one hell of a mystery.

Wondering about the true plot
28 Jan 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was interested in reading this book as it was written
by two sisters ,who came from the town in NYS where I
grew up. I found the book to be a little too racy with
the language used and by the experiences of the two
sisters in the book. In the beginning of the novel,
I found it exciting to follow the lives of the two
sisters, but as I continued reading I felt that there
was too much undepth to the writing and too much use
of bad language. I think it needed some revising and it
could be a better put together story of the two
sisters.

Well Worth the Read!

Do No Evil captures your attention from the beginning and I found it really hard to put it down. It has all the elements of a good suspense/mystery novel. The characters are intriguing and capture your heart. Everyone can relate to Phineas and Phoebe. Excellent book! I definitely recommend giving it a read!

LOVED IT!
18 Aug 2010
Format:Paperback
In this delightful tale we meet two sisters, Phineas and Phoebe. Phineas just got fired and returns home to New York to mend her wounds. We also meet her older sister, Phoebe, who has just been left standing at the altar. The two, although sisters, are very different, but that is what helps to make this story top-notch. Both girls looking for a new beginning decide to open a private investigation service to the dismay of most of their family, except for grandma, of course.
Soon after their doors are open a corpse is left in their office with a warning note. More people are killed, with the bodies in places that the girls would find, and they realize their small town of Lair has some bad history that someone is trying to revenge. Now the girls are thrust into solving murders, finding out what the secret is and why they have been chosen to do this, and hope that they will not be next on the murders list.
I liked this book right from the start. I thought the authors did a wonderful job with their description of the sisters and the girls family making the entire group alive in the minds eye. I enjoyed them bringing in the grandma for a few giggles, she is quite a character and definitely added some spice to the read and fun as well. They also gently weaved in romance with the police officer and the Vet. It wasn't too overwhelming and did not take away from the girls main theme which were all the murders and the job at hand. They were very careful to include details and leave little clues as to just who was behind all the murders but I was still surprised at the ending.
This is really a great book. It is fun, it's romantic, it's mysterious with characters that you will find endearing and hard to forget. It has a storyline that keeps you wanting more even when the last page is read. Good job ladies, thanks for the reading pleasure. I'm waiting for more.
