From the USA Today best-selling author Liz Talley comes this hoot of a follow-up to Deconstructed.

Cricket Crosby is back …and she’s licensed to snoop! Fresh off divorce and a private investigator’s course, Cricket’s ready to balance running her antiques store with proving her PI chops…if someone will take a chance on her. When a local PI catches a case involving the theft of luxury goods, he hires the former debutante to go undercover to trap a thief. But snooping during PTA meetings and cotillion parties is harder than it looks, especially when Cricket’s missteps cause a hunky police detective to cast suspicion on her new bestie, Ruby Balthazar.

As a former Long Pines Correctional inmate, Ruby has a lot to lose. She’s a finalist in a local fashion competition and receives an invitation to New York City Fashion Week. Suddenly, she’s parading around town with opportunity knocking faster than a fashion designer can answer. When Ruby is arrested and made the prime suspect in the theft case, everything she’s dreamed of begins to unravel. How can Ruby create a new future if her past keeps dragging her backward?

The only solution is to catch the real thief, but that may prove more dangerous than either Cricket or Ruby imagined. Toss in an incontinent cat, a dognapping, and a hot tow truck driver, and you have a humorous tale that will keep you in stitches!

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Cricket and Ruby are back in another caper that expertly weaves together story threads involving friendship, romance, and amateur sleuthing. Don't miss this humorous yet heartwarming escapade filled with Southern sass." Jamie Beck, author of Take if From Me

"Will keep you turning the pages and put a big smile on your face." Sonali Dev, author of upcoming The Vibrant Years

"Buckle up, Buttercup! Cricket and Ruby ride again in this new chick lit mystery from Liz Talley." Sally Kilpatrick, author of Much Ado about Barbecue

From the Author

Welcome back to fun and frolic!

I had no intention of writing another book about Cricket and Ruby's misadventures, but so many readers sent me emails, texts, and pleas for more, more, more that I couldn't turn them down. And let's face it, I have a bit of a soft spot for these two determined women. Besides, I needed to know if Cricket and Griff got together and if Ruby would make it in the design world. So here ya go, friends! Another "laugh until you wet your britches" tale of good taste and bad sleuthing.

Hope you enjoy the escape...

Liz

The adventures with Cricket continue in this adorable sequel. I love her southern sass and charm! She gets her PI license in this one and goes undercover to try to solve the mystery of the missing luxury items. In the process of sleuthing she manages to make Ruby look like the thief and the only way out of it is to solve the mystery. Such a fun read!

This is the second book in the (A Cricket Crosby Casper) series. It was quick and lots of fun to read. I just love Cricket and all the antics she gets herself and her friends entangled with while trying to solve her cases. You won’t be disappointed.

This is a sequel to deconstructed. You should read that book 1st to get the backstory about this book. There are several plots in the story and they start with who is stealing valuable jewelry and crickets hometown. I found the characters very interesting and very well written. Ruby has just gotten out of jail and cricket gave her a job as her antique store. I really like this book and I really enjoy the characters who really brought something to the whole story. I recommend this book for all romance readers and all readers. Liz has done a great job.

Cricket Crosby is on the case....again a she has her PI license freshly printed and she will get her feet wet finding the person who has been robbing from the rich. Her snooping on her friends is not without its trials and she might just make a few mistakes. Cricket has a few balls in the air, looking after her daughter, running her antiques business and trying her hand at dating again after her divorce is final. This is the really hard one. She is attracted to the ever moody and gruff Griff and a new man enters her world, the handsome detective Wes who is on the case of the missing luxury items. Then there is Ruby, the ex-con she is mentoring and gave a job to and is now her BFF. Ruby is going to be the next best thing in fashion and if they can get her fashion on the local runway competition, she will be on her way to stardom. Things just don't go Ruby's way when she is taken in for questioning in the case, she begins to think it's not worth the risk. With Cricket and her mom and others who believe in her, she can't lose this chance to have it all.

I was worried that this story would not be as good as the first book, but OMG it was so much more. I love Cricket even more as she starts her new life and of course how her and Griff's chemistry just ignites the pages of this book. Whenever she gets herself in hot water, Griff is there to get her out of a tricky spot. I love him. Ruby is one of my favs. You will cheer for her as she tries to start her new life too. Obstacles are put in her way time and time again, but she jumps over them with the help of her 'team' of friends and family.
This installment of the Cricket Crosby Capers is a must read and if you have not read book one, then get your hands it.
This is a 5 Star read of fun and romance with lots of wonderful hilarious moments to keep you turning the pages. I can't wait for the next Cricket Crosby Caper.

a new author to add to my wish list! Book two follows Cricket’s try at amateur sleuthing while running her regular antiques and vintage finds business. And, sorting out her life in general as a divorced woman. Ruth, Cricket’s assistant, learns the path to being an entrepreneur is filled with many stumbles and falls, yet does her best with the enormous talent she has in deconstructing vintage clothing into beautiful stylish finds. There wasn’t quite as much humor in this story as there was in book one; however, Cricket’s Southern sass is enjoyable, and she’s a trouble magnet. LOL! I’m definitely #TeamGriff for Cricket! I highly recommend this contemporary, chicklit, amateur sleuth, and women’s fiction novel.

Note: The digital ebook I downloaded from Amazon needed a good edit.

If the Dress Fits is the follow up to Deconstructed by Liz Talley. Cricket Crosby has gotten her private investigator license and is ready to snoop and solve cases! Fresh off her divorce, she is ready to get running with her PI skills. When Juke, a local PI, is hired to solve the case of the theft of luxury items, he hires Cricket to go undercover. She is willing and ready to go; however, in her eagerness, she shines the focus on her employee and new bestie, Ruby Balthazar. Ruby’s past is always right under the surface. She can’t hide it but she certainly wants to rise above it. Her fashion line, Deconstructed, is a finalist in a local fashion competition. She receives an invitation to New York City’s Fashion Week. Ruby can’t believe her luck. But when she is arrested for the thefts, it rocks her to her core and feels everything she has dreamed is unraveling. The only solution now is to catch the thief. But can they before the thief strikes again?
If the Dress Fits is such a fun book! I laughed at their antics. I cried with them. I sighed at the romantic moments. I even cheered as Cricket and Ruby battled through the theft case, their own insecurities and moving on with their lives with a new sense of purpose. I enjoyed seeing Cricket and Ruby in their new paths. I particularly loved that these women were not going to let their misfortunes dictate their lives. Outside of Cricket and Ruby, my favorite character is Gran, Ruby’s grandmother. She offers so much wisdom, tough love, and humor that she would be someone fun to have around. I also enjoyed that you didn’t necessarily need to read Deconstructed first (although I highly recommend it), in order to enjoy If the Dress Fits. Ms. Talley gives enough background detail that you can follow the relationships and the story without being lost. If the Dress Fits is filled with Southern social graces and sass that will leave you in stitches. I highly recommend If the Dress Fits.

If the Dress Fits is available in paperback and eBook

Deconstructed is also available in paperback and eBook

Love Cricket, I want to be her, she is so brave and clever. I have read a lot of books but with this author you never know what is coming next in the mystery but also there are reassuringly recognisable scenes, how we all react to things that happen, totally realistic to me, so loved this one
