What does a woman do when she discovers her husband is an incurable cheater? If she’s Cat DeLuca, she launches the Pants on Fire Detective Agency. Now Cat does what two years of unholy matrimony taught her to do: she catches cheaters. When a client, Cleo Jones, shoots her cheating husband’s bum full of buckshot, he disappears, taking her money, dog, and sister with him. Private Investigator Cat DeLuca promises to retrieve the dog and money if her client stops shooting at Walter.

Pick Up Sticks: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience! This is the 11th of 37 Emma Lathen best sellers and features John Putnam Thatcher, SVP of the Sloan Guaranty Trust. When Thatcher and his friend Henry Morland set off hiking the Appalachian Trail, they hardly expected to stumble over a dead body. Nor did real-estate promoters Eddie Quinlan and Ralph Valenti plan to play hosts to a murderer at their luxurious new development in New England.

A tale of nature lovers confronting second-home developers; hard-sell tactics delivering results; first and second wives battles; murders; and more. The sloan is disrupted by John Putnam Thatcher taking his annual vacation: a long walk on the Appalachian trail with his mail-order zealot friend. They run into murder, which Thatcher ultimately solves from his Wall Street perspective.
