FIRST MONDAY MURDER

A Jimmie Rae Flea Market Mystery

First Monday Murder by Lisa Love Harris is a sassy cozy mystery with a distinct Texas twist
Driven by her mantra of 'peace, love, and all the good stuff'’ and her junkin' addiction, Jimmie Rae cruises the blacktops looking for vintage treasures and unique antiques. She gets more than she bargains for when she finds a stash of stolen goods in a junk store bathroom and then discovers a fellow antique dealer murdered at the flea market.
The police detective on the case is also her broken-hearted former high school sweetheart and much to Jimmie Rae's distress, he's more than a little eager to pin her for the theft and murder. The assistance offered by a sexy new antique dealer seems too good to be true, but the way things are going, she can't afford to turn him down.
Just as she begins to fall in love with him and allow him to collect her heart like a cheap Cracker Jack prize, the obvious hits her--he may be the killer she seeks. The truth emerges in pieces just like the pattern on her Depression-era quilt.
In true Lone Star style, Jimmie Rae goes after the killer alone, uncovering a bigger-than-Texas sized crime ring that strikes closer to home than she imagines.
“First Monday Murder—a murder, a little romance, and a whole lotta junkin’!”
