Banking on the Truth: A Ruby Finch Mystery - Paperback

by Melissa Nordhoff (Author)

A brother in jail wasn't on Ruby's party-planning checklist.

Ruby Finch's latest event should have launched her business to the next level. Instead, a shocking incident turns the festivities into a full-on fiasco, leaving a guest fighting for life and twin brother Roddy in handcuffs. Not exactly the grand finale she had in mind.

Ruby knows one thing for sure-Roddy isn't to blame. Armed with color-coded lists, alphabetized worries, and her trademark rainbow-and-unicorn positivity, she sets out to prove it before scandal ruins everything they've built and a trial lands her brother behind bars.

Millicent Wagner-cookie pusher, museum docent, tireless volunteer, and the twins' self-appointed grandmother-also knows Roddy didn't do it. And like any grandmother worth her salt-though she'd argue sugar fixes everything-she's determined to protect her own.

With her tarot-reading confidante Liza at her side, Millicent follows a trail of clues, slicing through Lancaster County's postcard-perfect façade and into its shadowy corners. When the evidence points squarely at the one person whose guilt would shatter the twins' world, Millicent faces an agonizing choice: expose the truth and break their hearts, or keep the secret and let Roddy go to jail for a crime he didn't commit.

When the truth is finally uncovered, it blindsides everyone. It was within reach all along-and not what anyone expected.
