Whack Job — Kendel Lynn

Elliott  Lisbon  blends  her  directorship  of  the  Ballantyne  Foundation  with  her  PI-in-Training  status  by  planning  parties  and  performing discreet  inquiries  for  charitable patrons.  But  when  the  annual Wonderland  Tea  Party  makes  everyone  go  mad  as  a hatter, Elli gets pulled into a shooting, a swindle, and the hunt for a Faberge egg. 


From seedy pawn parlors to creepy antique shops, Sea Pine Island's other half prove to be  as  wacky  as  the  wealthy.  As  Elli  falls  farther  down  the  rabbit  hole,  she  finds  a scheming  salesman,  a  possessive  paramour,  a  dead  donor -- in  fact,  the  only  thing missing is a bottle labeled “Drink Me.” As events evolve from curious to crazy, Elli gets lost in the maze and finds herself trapped in a house of cards with a killer.
