Read the Summary

Nothing brings neighbors together like someone else’s secrets… At Shelley House, the walls have ears, and they’re attached to a ragtag duo of busybodies ready to pry, snoop, and generally annoy their neighbors into solving a crime.
 
Seventy-seven-year-old Dorothy Darling has lived in Shelley House longer than any of the other residents, and if you take their word for it, she’s as cantankerous as they come. But Dorothy has her reasons for spying. And none of them require justifying herself to Kat Bennett. 
 
Twenty-five-year-old Kat has never known a place where she felt truly at home, and crumbling Shelley House is no different. Her neighbors find her prickly and unapproachable, but beneath her tough exterior, Kat’s plagued by a guilty secret from her past.
 
When their apartments face demolition, sworn enemies Kat and Dorothy agree on just one thing: they must save their historic building. But when someone plays dirty—and one of the residents is viciously taken down—Dorothy and Kat seek justice. The police close the investigation too soon, leaving it up to the unlikely amateur sleuths—with a playful Jack Russell terrier at their side—to restore peace in their community.

    Stories That Show Up When Kids Need Them Most

    💛 More Than Just a Bookstore

    When you shop at Flirting With Fiction, you’re doing more than buying a book—you’re helping us deliver hope.

    A portion of every sale goes directly to Fun With Fiction, our nonprofit that brings the power of story to children facing trauma, loss, or major life changes. Through our Book Buddy program, we create hand-picked book packages tailored to each child’s age, interests, and unique situation.

    It’s not just a box of books. It’s a message that says: you matter, you are not alone, and your story is still being written.
