Crime Flies

When 32-year-old Upcycled shop owner, Maria Olson, is lucky enough to secure a booth at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, she is excited but nervous. Will she be able to repurpose enough balloon-themed products to sell? Will she make enough money to cover the booth rental fee? And can her goofy friend manage her other shop while she's gone?

All is wonderful at the Fiesta. She meets new friends, sells plenty of products, and her bestie, Jill, does a good job watching her main store in the Out of the Box shopping center. 

Things go south when a new friend dies in a freak ballooning mishap. Maria suspects it wasn't an accident. After all, ballooning is safer than most forms of transportation. She keeps an eye on her suspects, all while making more products, working long hours at her booth, and dealing with uninvited foreign houseguests.



In Crime Flies, Maria finds herself caught in a whirlwind of high-flying danger.
