Synopsis

Will a case of mistaken identity be the death of her?

Madison Reynolds is looking forward to a few days of rest and relaxation. Her best friend Genny is judging a celebrity bake-off near DC, so it's the perfect opportunity for a girl's getaway. With fun-loving Granny Bert in tow, the trio heads to the very heart of the Intel community.

A mix-up at the airport leaves Madison with the wrong luggage, and a last-minute change in accommodations lands them at The Columbia Inn at Peralynna. How can they know its ties to the spy world will soon spin them into its web?

The stories of espionage and agents are intriguing, but too incredible to be real. The Texans know nothing about secret codes and counterintelligence. They've never heard of The Lilac Code, or the illusive agent-for-hire known simply as Kalypso.

Back home in The Sisters, a drama is unfolding that involves Madison's precious twins. She's raised them to do the right thing, no matter the consequence, but will their quest for justice put them in danger?

The twins risk everything to save their school, while deep in spy territory, Madison and Genny race against the clock—and the elements—to save Granny Bert's life.

Goodreads review by Greer

A book that looked as if it would be a good espionage thriller turns out to be a Harlequin-type story written at an elementary level for young readers and designed for female readers. A simple, uncomplicated story, burdened by too many references to events that have occurred in the past and not expl......more

4.5 STARS. I make no secret that most of the time, what most entices me to read a book is its cover. (Because of my cover snobbery, I have missed or delayed reading some great stories.) From the time THE LILAC CODE had its cover reveal last year, I wanted to read it. The cover evokes mystery and a l......more

Chicken Scratch #1 - This is my first book by this author and I was greatly surprised at how well written, well thought out and laced with humor and intrigue; this little gem is packed. The area is near and dear to my heart since I was born in the area. The people, while not as easily identifiable a......more

Goodreads review by Ruth

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine. First of all, I absolutely adore cozy mysteries. There is nothing better than curling up with a book that doesn't have gratuitous violence, an abundance of profan......more
