The couple lived near the wrap maven, but it seems Halley and Jake were a little too neighborly. So Josie decides to do what she does best to help out her friend-go undercover and see if she can find some clues. Because this time, there's a lot more at stake than a scarf, even if it's to die for... Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Best of the RestThis installment of Josie Marcus, Mystery Shopper, was the best so far. One of Alyce's neighbors is murdered and Alyce's husband Jake is charged with the murder.

In case anybody forgot, we can find real life, real art, real talent, real money - and real intrigue - in America's heartland, not just on the right or left coasts. Protagonist Josie is a single mom who works as a mystery shopper to ...
