Misty Bailey never planned to run a detective agency-especially not while juggling four kids, overdue bills, and a town that prefers its secrets buried. When her ex vanishes and leaves his children behind, Misty is forced back into the kind of trouble she swore she was done with. What starts as a favor turns into something far more dangerous when she uncovers a quiet network of corruption hidden behind Pinehaven's polite smiles and tidy lawns. With the help of two equally overwhelmed moms-each bringing her own brand of grit, sarcasm, and survival instincts-Misty begins asking questions no one wants answered. But in a small North Carolina town, curiosity is risky, and justice has a way of fighting back. As the stakes rise, Misty must decide how far she's willing to go to protect the kids who now depend on her-and whether building something new is worth burning the past to the ground. Three Broke Moms Detective Agency is a sharp, character-driven cozy mystery about found family, second chances, and what happens when underestimated women stop playing nice. Perfect for fans of modern cozy mysteries with heart, humor, and a heroine who refuses to stay in her lane.
