History teacher Addison Holmes is barely making ends meet in sleepy Whiskey Bayou, Georgia. When moonlighting at a gentleman's club (don't judge?teacher's salary, remember?) leads to discovering her principal's body in the parking lot, her stable life quickly unravels.
Suddenly unemployed and with a knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, Addison joins her best friend Kate's detective agency. Turns out, years of small-town nosiness and silent judgment make for surprisingly transferable skills in the private investigation business.
As Addison digs deeper, she uncovers more Whiskey Bayou secrets than anyone bargained for. The suspect list grows faster than kudzu in July, and the handsome detective in charge seems equally determined to solve the case and drive Addison absolutely crazy?in all the best ways.

Addison Holmes is a diamond in the rough, though she's feeling more like a big lump of coal. Teaching history in Whiskey Bayou, Georgia isn't exactly the most exciting job, but at least it's stable. Until she finds her principal dead in the parking lot of the seedy gentleman's club she was stripping in. Don't judge. Teachers don't exactly make the big bucks.
When Addison finds herself out of a job, she turns to her best friend, Kate, who owns the McClean Detective Agency. Addison is a natural at the job. Living in a small town has given her all the skills she needs to spy on other people and pass silent judgment. Sometimes being nosy has its advantages.
When her principal's murder reveals more Whiskey Bayou secrets than people are comfortable with, the suspect list grows longer than Addison's arm. Fortunately, the detective in charge seems more than capable of finding the killer and driving her crazy at the same time.
