1.....Take The Monkeys And Run
Barbara is a housewife who is having trouble with her husband, Howard, and one night she hears noises at the house next door. She finds five monkeys in her tree the next day and calls the cops to protect her three daughters. Men in black show up and shut down the police. Barbara and her two neighbors/friends decide to find out why no one is investigating. They make a plan but it goes awry, they are kidnapped and Barbara finds out secrets of her town and family. She wonders if she should have listened to the police and Howard and stayed out of it.
2…..Citizen Insane
This time Barbara is involved in solving the shooting of a mom from schools. She is kidnapped, has a crazy woman in her front yard, her husband is still staying away and her friend, Colt, is there to help her. This is a good series, but Barb seems to flip-flop from smart P.I. to scared mom worrying about her kids and about her neighbors thinking how bad of a mom she is. She needs to figure out what she wants and if she wants to be a hero or wimp and if she is going to let her husband keep her in the dark and fool around in his job.
3…..Silenced By The Yams
Barbara is invited to a showing of a new movie opening and one of the directors is killed. Her friend, Frankie, is accused of the crime. Barb knows he wouldn’t do it. She is kidnapped and later, she is blown up. With the help of Frankie, Colt, and her different girlfriends, Barbara solves a big case with a twist. She is still self-deprecating and oscillating between brave to coward from one page to another.
4…..Saturday Night Cleaver
Barbara is taking care of her three kids and husband, Howard, after his bad crash while on his last day of work. Plus, the doctor put her on a diet and told her to walk. While walking, she finds a hand and male genitals in the woods. Howard is bored and when their friend, Colt, is missing Howard and Barbara go investigate.
