A solid Abby book. I missed Milo and Dave a bit, but I enjoyed the mystery, which starts with Abby receiving a call at like 2am from SpoilerCandace. Her phone had been on silent, so she missed the call by about a minute and listens to her voicemail immediately. Candace begs her to go to their office, open a hidden safe, and remove a folder. Luckily Abby does so right away, because when she goes to leave, the police are just arriving. On her way home, she hides the folder at a neighbor's garage, as the neighbor is out of town and Abby is watching over the place for them. Abby makes it home just before the police, and it turns out Candace is a suspected hit man (or woman, I suppose). There's a video from an airport parking lot of her climbing out of her yellow Porsche and shooting a man in cold blood. Dutch, Bryce, and Abby all see it, and they're all confounded. We wind up learning more about Candace's first marriage, and we travel to Vegas, and we find Candace innocent, of course, because she's kinda awesome. A woman had disguised herself as Candace, but the fact one uses their left hand and the other their right finally tips Abby off after re-watching the video. It was nice to see Abby and Dutch strong after their crazy wedding fiasco of the last book, and their relationship is stronger than ever.
