An Eddie Shoes Mystery #3
by Elena Hartwell

My teaser from page 36 in the paperback.
Find my daughter, he’d said. Then he’d paid me. Was I now on a case for a missing girl?
I’d never worked for a dead man before.

Read on if you want to know more.
Synopsis
Private investigator Eddie Shoes heads to a resort outside Leavenworth, Washington, for a mother-daughter getaway weekend. Eddie’s mother Chava wants to celebrate her new job at a casino by footing the bill for the two of them, and who is Eddie to say no?
On the first morning, Eddie goes on an easy solo hike, and a few hours later, stumbles upon a makeshift campsite and a gravely injured man. A forest fire breaks out and she struggles to save him before the flames overcome them both. Before succumbing to his injuries, the man hands her a valuable rosary. He tells her his daughter is missing and begs for her help. Is Eddie now working for a dead man?
Barely escaping the fire, Eddie wakes in the hospital to find both her parents have arrived on the scene. Will Eddie’s card-counting mother and mob-connected father help or hinder the investigation? The police search in vain for a body. How will Eddie find the missing girl with only Eddie’s memory of the man’s face and a photo of his daughter to go on?
Book 3 in the Eddie Shoes Mystery Series, which began with One Dead, Two to Go.

I need to google Leavenworth!
What a tease! I’d like this. This author is totally new to me. Pleased to have discovered her!
I read the first 2 books and had a lot of fun. I’m sure this one will be too.
Working for a dead guy? Sounds interesting.

It does grab ya. LOL Now there are two cases to solve!
That’s a great little teaser. I am curious as to what happened to the daughter now.
And what happened to him? This should be a fun mystery:)
Okay, I am intrigued! 🙂
You’d like this series, Stormi! Such fun characters and mysteries.
Well, that’s sure piqued my interest. Great teaser! Thank you for sharing! My teaser is from Phoenix Fire by S.D. Grimm
I had to share it. It was such a good tease!
I was wondering how a ghost pays. A rosary it totally appropriate.
Yep, a rosasry would work!
This sounds really good.
This is a fun series and I’ve been waiting for this one:)
Well, that is a very different situation regarding a case! Awesome teaser! Thanks for stopping by! Happy reading!
I know. And now she has two cases!
This one sounds like just my kind of read and another new to me author to check out. Although I did have a chuckle when I read this was an ‘Eddie Shoes’ mystery.
Way back in the 1970s, there was a television series, set down here in my neck of the woods in southern England, about a former computer expert turned private detective, called ‘Eddie Shoestring’ (The male form of Eddie).
Checking this series out brought back loads of memories for me…

I love her name. And her family is something else. Especially her mother. LOL
Definitively liked the style and of course the genre is just for me! Thanks for sharing.
This series has its hooks in me. I’ll keep reading them as long as Elena keeps writing:)
