Tapped Out by Emily James

Tapped Out by Emily James

No one is exactly what they seem.

Former lawyer Nicole Fitzhenry-Dawes should be focusing on planning her wedding and a friend's baby shower, as well as running her maple syrup farm.

Instead, her former profession won't let her go.

Her maid-of-honor Elise Scott is suspended from her job as a Fair Haven police officer for investigating a case she shouldn't have been anywhere near, endangering not only her career but also her relationship with a fellow officer. Nicole can't believe Elise would have risked so much without a good reason.

Much more turns out to be at stake than Nicole realized, and to help Elise, she ends up defending a man she isn't convinced is innocent.

And the deeper she goes into his case, the more dangerous people start to pay attention.

Tapped Out is the seventh book in Emily James' Maple Syrup Mysteries. If you love small-town settings, quirky characters, and a dollop of romance, then you'll want to buy this new amateur sleuth cozy mystery today

This book is a clean read and contains no swearing, gore, or steamy bedroom scenes. While the series is best enjoyed in order, each book is a complete mystery on its own.

Emily James grew up watching episodes such as Matlock, Monk, and Murder She Wrote on television. (The fact that they all start with an M is purely coincidental.) When she decided to become a mystery writer, no one was surprised. She creates tales with eccentric characters and a romantic element. She keeps them clean because she wants her books to be the kind that your teenager or mother would enjoy reading.
