Thank you, TLC Book Tours and William Morrow Books, for this gifted book and having me on your tour.

Every summer I love reading fast-paced mysteries that take me on a thrill ride, and ๐—ข๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ is right up my alley! A missing girl, mobsters, and corruption...What more could you ask for!?!

On her way home from an all-night surveillance job, V.I. Warshawski is led by her dogs on a mad chase that ends when they discover a badly injured teen hiding in the rocks along Lake Michigan. The girl only regains consciousness long enough to utter one enigmatic word. V.I. helps bring her to a hospital, but not long after, she vanishes before anyone can discover her identity. As V.I. attempts to find her, the detective uncovers an ugly consortium of Chicago powerbrokers and mobsters who are prepared to kill the girl. And now V.I.โ€™s own life is in jeopardy as well.

Told against the backdrop of a city emerging from its pandemic lockdown, Overboard lays bare the dark secrets and corruption buried in Chicagoโ€™s neighborhoods in masterly fashion.

In The Kitchen

Today Iโ€™m putting together my favorite Pasta Salad from Half-Baked Harvest. Itโ€™s super simple to make and it is perfect to pack for our full week of baseball games!

Plus it is such a colorful salad and screams summer freshness!

For Sunday Night Dessert Iโ€™m making Buster Bars. We are in the 90s again today, so the last thing I want to do is bake, so these super simple ice cream bars will do the trick! As for our movie tonightโ€ฆI donโ€™t know what we are watching yet, so youโ€™ll have to stay tuned to my Instagram Stories to find out!
