When newly unemployed Faye Burner talks her sister Barb Evans into opening a detective agency, they begin with enthusiasm but soon run into problems.
Their chances are good, because when danger threatens sisters, crime-solving becomes a family thing..
The Smart Detective Agency was designed as a two-woman operation, but the three Sisters are going to have to work together in order to stay alive.
Someone doesn\'t want the old crime re-examined, and things escalate from scare tactics to assault to murder.
When Neil Brown turns up, matters take a dangerous turn.
While Barb ignores Retta\'s interference, she also tries to ignore her own attraction to Chief Rory Neuencamp.
She\'s also willing to offer her "suggestions" for improving the agency.
Retta\'s more than willing to help, since it means working with the town\'s handsome new police chief.
Barb disapproves, objecting to Retta\'s bossy, manipulative ways and preoccupation with her nails, clothes, and social life.
Faye and Barb\'s younger sister Retta has contacts that could help, and Faye includes her in the investigation.
Hoping to prove them all wrong, the Sleuth Sisters go to work.
His father-in-law, powerful businessman Stanley Wozniak, is determined that when he\'s found, Neil will pay.
The case is exactly what they need, but police at all levels insist Neil Brown is guilty of the crimes.
His sister says he\'s innocent, and she hires Barb and Faye to find him and prove it.
Years earlier, a man accused of murdering his wife and brother-in-law escaped the police and has been missing ever since.
After months of boredom, they finally get a case that could prove their competence.
Most people in their small town simply can\'t imagine two fifty-something women tracking down leads and hauling criminals to justice.
