Missing Pieces by Nicole Edwards

Brantley Walker and Reese Tavoularis are plunging headfirst into the satisfying chaos of married life. Although their preference would be to sit on a beach enjoying umbrella drinks for a week, the honeymoon will have to wait. With Jessica James treating her hospital stay like an all-inclusive spa getaway—complete with bed rest and boredom—Brantley, Reese, Baz, and the rest of the team are bracing themselves for the inevitable twists and turns ahead.

Meanwhile, Atticus James shares not only the same last name with JJ but also the irritation that comes with monotony. He’s spending his days sifting through partner applications, waiting for the day he’ll see some of the action. Just when he thinks his excitement levels have hit rock bottom, Brantley hands him his first case assignment. Only he’s not sure he wants it once he learns what it is. But if suffering is the name of the game, he can think of no better partner in misery and mayhem than Slade Elliott.

While Atticus and Slade are busy with their detective shenanigans, the rest of the team isn’t just tuning in to their favorite podcast; they’re about to dive headfirst into a live episode of Havoc Your Way when the podcast’s host stops by. But Simon Jennings isn’t there to sign autographs. He’s dropping in with a case that veers dangerously close to home, blending the bizarre with the familiar, as he seeks their expertise to untangle a web that’s both outside their skill set and uncomfortably personal.
