A Matter of Pedigree

About the book

The author of the popular Lucy Stone mysteries is back with a new series featuring a couple of wealthy empty-nesters from Rhode Island.

Carole Capobianco has always been grateful for her blessings, but now that she and her husband Frank are raking in the cash thanks to Frank’s innovative Bye-Bye Toilet invention, life is even more exciting. With their children out of the house, Carole and Frank have more free time to indulge in Carole’s passion for collecting shoes and doting on their pampered Brittany spaniel, Poopsie. To top it off, they have their eye on a luxurious co-op in a prestigious building...

However, their dreams are shattered when venture capitalist Hosea Brown rejects their offer, claiming they don’t belong in their elite community. Frank’s anger escalates as he storms out the door, muttering about taking down that 'old Yankee.' Three months later, Carole is stunned to hear that Hosea has been brutally murdered.

As Carole discovers Hosea was involved in a major construction project that Frank’s company is also tied to, she becomes increasingly worried. With each new revelation in the case, Carole, armed with her trusty Jimmy Choos and quirky Poopsie, embarks on a mission to prove Frank’s innocence and possibly save their own lives.
