Panic Button — Kylie Logan

Josie Giancola, owner of the Button Box shop, knows her buttons. But when she comes into contact with a rare charm string, she never imagines it will lead to murder…

Josie is approached at her shop to appraise a very rare item -- a complete charm string. In Victorian times, girls strung buttons on long strings to make the charms. Once the string reached 1,000 buttons -- no two alike -- the legend was that the owner would meet her beloved.

But the owner of this charm string is not looking for love -- she's desperate to donate the piece to a museum and be rid of it. She believes the string is far from charmed -- it's cursed. When Josie finds the woman strangled with the charm string, she doesn't know whether the curse is real…but the killer certainly is.
