Cross My Heart P J Howell

A Jorja Matthews Mystery, Vol. 4

A cold case, a neighbor dispute, a kleptomaniac cat and an ambitious reporter might be more than enough for Private Investigator Jorja Matthews to take on but she won't get off that easy. When a friend is in dire need of help, but is unwilling to cooperate, and the neighbor dispute lands Jorja on the witness list, she finds herself more frustrated than ever.

She further finds herself warding off unexpected emotions of jealously when she becomes the third wheel when her best friend, Taylor, finds a new-found friend, along with continuous conflicts with Officer Fritz who is friend as often as he is foe.

Running a bookstore while investigating cases has had its challenges and this will be no exception for Jorja as she attempts to handle her case files as well as her emotions.

Set in a local Pacific Northwest town, the Jorja Matthews mystery series is full of heart and characters readers can relate to as they are drawn into the life of a female private investigator. P. J. Howell uses her knowledge as a former private investigator to provide a series with twists and turns which will delight mystery readers who enjoy small-town characters and settings.
