No Place Like Home

About the Book

Chrissy Landress and four of her friends are the victims of a buyout of their local telephone company in the small town of Chinquapin, Fl. They lost their jobs and are quickly running out of money. They’ve all moved into Chrissy’s ancestral home, Magnolia Hall. The friends have their backs to the wall and must think outside the box…extremely outside the box…in order to survive. They decide to open a high class gentlemen’s club. They must keep the operation of the brothel under the radar, but even with all the clandestine machinations, word spreads, and the club prospers. Everything is copacetic until a local VIP dies in the bordello. The club workers must cover up the death of the guest by making his demise appear the result of a car accident. Chrissy’s boyfriend, the local sheriff Hank Albritton, has turned a blind eye to his lady love’s business endeavor, but he discovers the guest was murdered. Where, how, and by whom is a mystery. Could the killer be a member of the Magnolia Hall staff…or another guest? The killing attracts national attention to the plight of many American workers who lost their jobs during the Great Recession, and the women and men of Magnolia Hall attain celebrity status, but more scandals loom on the horizon for Chrissy and her friends.
