Price of Betrayal

A Jorja Matthews Mystery, Vol. 5

Private investigator and bookstore owner, Jorja Matthews, along with her best friend Taylor Bishop, are winding down the summer days as they plan a special book event and prepare for Taylor's upcoming wedding. Little do they know the book event will land Jorja squarely in the middle of a new case and that an acquaintance who triggers memories from Jorja's past will desperately need her help.

Will she be able to set aside her bias and uncertainties in order to assist on the case? Or will her need to catch a killer using unusual methods land her in hot water with local law enforcement?

Jorja will have plenty of opportunities to stretch her investigative muscle, with cases involving murder, sexual assault and fraud. If only her skills could prepare her for how to handle her relationship with Officer Fritz, when the tension between them sizzles and she discovers they are much more alike than she ever thought possible.

Set in a local Pacific Northwest town, the Jorja Matthews mystery series is full of heart, humor and characters readers can relate to as they are drawn into the life of a female private investigator. P.J. Howell uses her knowledge as a former private investigator to provide a series with twists and turns which will delight mystery readers.
