The case comes to a head when the Pea Pod Girls set a trap for the blackmailer at the annual Midnight Madness Costume Ball.
Will the Pea Pod Girls be able to solve the mystery before the clock strikes midnight?
Publication Date: March 2015
Three small town, middle-aged women with big town dreams open up The Pea Pod Girls’ Investigations. Gigi VanWey, the Amazon Queen, Tallulah Dewy Townz, the pint-sized rebel who can open a can of whoop ass, and Babs Rosencrantz, the Jewish Guru, had no idea how much trouble they could stir up with their first case. These extremely resourceful women are three peas in a pod who know how to get a job done.
Their first client, trophy wife and recovering-sugar-daddy-addict Cyndi Lou Montgomery, wants to find out how one minute she’s watching the Douglas County 4th of July celebration and the next, waking up in the Douglas County Prize Bull Barn in a most un-lady-like situation. Now Cyndi is being blackmailed, and given specific instructions to follow.
The Pea Pod Girls didn’t know that a home explosion, being shot at, missing evidence and unwanted help from the new town sheriff, Jackson Lee – who, by the way, is so hot you could fry an egg on his fine ass – would be part of the job.

Thanks for hosting!
This sounds fun :) I've been reading a handful of books like it lately. Granted, they usually involve mysteries around ghosts, so this could be a nice little change. I'm wondering if, since there are three authors and three members of the Pea Pod Girls, did each author create a fictionalized version of herself, or are they completely made up characters?
Thanks so much of hosting this giveaway. I like the sound of Out From Under. Pea Pod Girls’ Investigations sounds right up my alley with middle-aged women running it.
This book sounds fun I woyuld enjoy reading it. This blog is always fun with the great book blurbs and giveaways !
Sophie, Smiles, Jo-Anne, and Deanne:
I’ll start with Smiles, question about “did each author create a fictional version of herself or are they completely made up.” We each chose our character’s name, developed them individually, and then discussed and refined them as a group. Therefore, the Pea Pod Girls do have some of the personality traits of the authors and some are made up. The way I figure it, is our readers get the best of both worlds. Now as to which of those traits are fiction or real…I’ll never tell.
We chose middle-aged women because that is where we are in life. Just because someone is over forty or fifty does not mean they have one foot in the grave. I love to read and wanted to write a book that had unique qualities to it. There are books out on the market, where the main characters are younger adults and we wanted characters that were not so common. So we felt comfortable with the Pea Pod Girls being middle aged super heroes.
We appreciate you interest in our adventures.
Thank you and have a Great Day! dee
Sounds like a great book, put it on my must read list.
