Whacked — Stella Bixby

Rylie is staying out of it. No more investigating, no more drama, no more danger.She has enough on her plate training the woman who completely upended her life. But when someone is brutally attacked, Rylie is conflicted. Surely, the police can handle the investigation. They have the experience, the training, the knowledge. And Rylie not only has a job to keep, but friends she doesn't want to let down . . . again. Until she realizes she may have been the target of the attack and the woman she's training-her nemesis-may have been the attacker. Will Rylie be able to let the police handle the investigation or will she put her own life at risk to bring the attacker to justice? If you like Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series, you'll love this laugh-out-loud fifth installment of the Rylie Cooper Mystery Series.
