Amanda Bell Brown is a woman on the edge. How’s a woman supposed to nurse a broken heart when her pet sugar glider is driving her batty, or is that squirrelly? The deafening tick of her biological clock and having no Jazz to soothe her makes Amanda Bell Brown one frazzled forensic psychologist. When Lieutenant Jazz Brown shows up at Amanda’s door unannounced, her heart competes with her head as she struggles to do the right thing. Jazz says he wants to reconnect and make their relationship work. But there’s just one tiny problem: his ex-wife is found murdered – in his apartment.

For Amanda Bell Brown, just living her life is murder! How’s a woman supposed to grapple with faith, a fine man, and turning thirty-five when she keeps tripping in her high heels over mysteries – and not just the God kind? Amanda Bell Brown knows that life as a forensic psychologist isn’t quite as cool as it looks on prime-time T. V. But when she turns thirty-five with no husband or baby on the horizon, she decides she’s gotta get out and paint the town – in her drop-dead red birthday dress. Instead, she finds herself at the scene of a crime – and she just may know who the killer is.
