Good Grooves and Grand Larceny — Raven Snow

There's a new lawman on the scene. Harper Beck: beware. In the city of Waresville, no one is afraid of the dark. These industrious people learned a long time ago that it's not the darkness you need to fear; it's what's lurking for you just inside of it. There's something new and unexpected prowling the streets of Waresville after dark, and the townspeople are not amused. If there are two things they can't abide by, it's a supernatural creature that won't show its face for a photo op, and anything that interferes with their cold, hard cash. The new beast on the scene checks both boxes. Which means, of course, that the newcomer is right up Harper Beck's alley. Harper, amateur sleuth, owner of a disco skate, and trouble magnet never met a mystery she didn't like. That was until she met a mystery cased in metal and packed with electrical wires. If she wants to tackle this magic machinery case head on, she's going to have to get over her technophobia. But playing with powers outside her expertise isn't the only obstacle facing Harper in this mystery. Because this time, the monsters are striking a little too close to home, and if she doesn't solve the case fast, she might be kissing one of her oldest friends good-bye. If all that weren't enough, Harper's just adjusting to being a new mother when a surprise visitor and an opportunity to win the money to fix up her disco skate fall into her lap. With Harper pulled in multiple directions, the really bad guy in this mystery might just seize the opportunity to take care of their Harper Beck problem. Permanently. Fifteenth Volume of the Harper Foxxy Beck Mystery Series. Approx. 45,000 words in length. It is a standalone (reading prior or future volumes not required to enjoy the book, no cliffhanger).
