In this sequel to Trust Me, I'm Lying, Julep and her friends open a business to market Julep's grifting talents. A hysterical walk-in client draws her into a cult-like leadership institute that may have ties to her missing mother; she investigates while evading a hit-man. Julep's voice is fresh and upbeat in this rollicking thriller, but the mystery she unravels is rather convoluted.

Julep Dupree is the daughter and protégé of a talented con artist; when Dad goes missing, Julep deceives and schemes in order to save him. With help from two male friends--who also battle for her affections--Julep decodes cryptic clues that lead to a violent confrontation. Predictable, superficial relationship drama distracts from the high-stakes rescue mission in this mystery debut.
