Escape Route

Meet Jaqie Shanahan’s escape plan from Hollywood: leave the worry of her best friend’s disappearance on Oscar night behind and head for home by the Chesapeake Bay. Simple, right? Not when her fresh start collides with:• A lovable yellow Lab targeted by dognappers• One irritated gecko with an attitude problem• Two bumbling hitmen with terrible timing• Her ex-husband’s very pregnant (and very dramatic) new wife• A scheming political climber who won’t take no for an answer• And every Shanahan relative within a hundred-mile radiusNow Jaqie’s juggling a looming screenplay deadline, a high-stakes dog rescue, and a dash to the maternity ward—all while dodging bullets and family drama. Think Stephanie Plum meets the Chesapeake Bay, with a four-legged twist.Will she catch the bad guys, deliver her ex’s wife to the hospital, and finish her screenplay before time runs out? And what’s the news on her disappeared BFF? One thing’s certain: this is NOT the peaceful escape she planned.Perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich who love their mysteries served with a side of chaos and a whole lot of heart.
