June 18, 2026 By Maryse Leave a Comment

Jean needs our book help! i… didn’t even realize there was an Australian mob!!! But, why wouldn’t there be, right? Now I’m so curious about this one!

She asks:

Name this book!

Hi Maryse,

I recall reading a book where the h was a detective and the H was Australian mob.

She had previously been married, and when remodeling discovered docs from her ex that implicated him in nefarious deeds.

I also think she was into muscle cars.

Does this ring a bell for anyone?

Have a guess?

HAPPY MONDAY & HAPPY START OF A NEW WEEK!! Back to work for me, but I feel refreshed from my quiet yet fun weekend.

Three things:

1.) A month and a week until I get to see my mom!! She’s coming on vacation with her bestie and I am so excited!

2.) Spent an amazing weekend with my husband and we explored a beautiful coastal town just 40 minutes away from us and it was magical. Drove the winding roads against the ocean, mansions everywhere, beautiful landscaping and seaside peace, and beaches and rocks and palm trees and the most magnificent sunsets! Oh… and did I mention the trio of dolphins just lazily making their way past us that I was able to video? LOVED IT!! read more
