ABOUT THE BOOK
Book 2 of 10: The Small Town, Big World Mysteries
Two best friends. Ten countries. Countless secrets.
Pearl and Violet have spent their lives in a quiet corner of Northeastern Oklahoma, where the biggest news is usually the weather or the high school football score. But after years of putting others first, these two sharp-witted best friends in their thirties are finally ready to see the world. From the icy streets of Russia to the sun-drenched islands of Greece, they set off on a decade-long adventure to trade their dusty plains for international passports.
They expected five-star views and a chance at finding true love; they didn’t expect to find a body in every port.
In The Small Town, Big World Mysteries, Pearl and Violet prove that “Okie” common sense is a universal language. Whether they are navigating a high-stakes heist in Ireland, unmasking a killer in Paris, or outsmarting a corporate conspiracy in the Australian Outback, these two women rely on their lifelong bond and rural grit to solve the world’s most sophisticated crimes.
Travel along with Pearl and Violet in this interconnected standalone series, where the scenery changes, but the heart—and the mystery—stays as big as the Oklahoma sky.
