Misdeeds Of Sadie Quinn

Business in ruins: one.

Money in the bank: $4.82.

Crime scene: one and counting.

Sadie Quinn's been down on her luck before, but never like this, and the moment of folly that forces her to go on the run has pushed her out of the fire and into a thermo-nuclear disaster.

Fleeing to the one place she knows she can get her life back on track - her grandfather's small-town home - presents a complication: The Misdeeds List.

Her grandfather's non-negotiable condition for letting her live with him is that she must help him relive the misdemeanours of his youth. The problem is, the wilder the acts become, the more attention she gains from the handsome local cop, and for all the wrong reasons.

At first Sadie thinks the misdemeanours are just random acts of madness brought on by an elderly mind that's beginning to lose its hold on reality. But as she helps her grandfather tick off the items on his list, she begins to see the pieces of a puzzle slotting together - a puzzle that offers clues to her own troubled past.

Now, not only does Sadie need to redeem herself to win the right kind of handsome-cop attention, she must also commit one last and spectacular misdeed to fit the final piece of the puzzle into place.

Something has to give.

The Misdeeds of Sadie Quinn is the third of four stand-alone novels in the award-winning Good Life series.
