Book Synopsis

Sometimes good fortune brings along romance... and danger.

After the sudden death of Mrs. York, Abby inherits a great deal of money and Ivy, her employee, receives the woman's house. This good fortune creates suspicion when the authorities determine Mrs. York was murdered. Ivy discovers several diaries in her new house, penned by Mrs. York, which expose secrets in the old woman's past. Will the diaries vindicate Abby and Ivy, or make matters worse?

The ladies at the salon welcome a nail tech named Poppy, whose personality and wild clothing choices suit her name. But when something changes in Poppy's attitude, Abby must find the answer in order to bring peace back to her salon.

Complicating Abby's life further is ex-boyfriend Jack. Now a lieutenant at the Daytona Beach Police Department, his investigation into Mrs. York's murder makes life uncomfortable for Abby. But then, after Abby is attacked, Jack begins displaying a gentler side uncharacteristic of his former self that Abby remembers all too well. Is this a new Jack, or is this change just an act?

The second book in the Daytona Beach Mysteries series by Janie Owens, THE PALMETTO DIARIES is a story about secrets, greed, and love.
