After the splashy success of her last big case, Portland, Maine, sleuth Olivia Lively struggles to manage her one-woman firm’s sudden growth spurt.
When an old friend offers her a chunk of cash to investigate his wife and brother who may be having an affair, Liv reluctantly agrees in hopes of getting Lively Investigations back on track. She heads to a cozy cabin in the northern Maine woods to investigate, thinking it will be a chance to enjoy summer while also solving her cash-flow problem. But when Liv stumbles onto the suburban wife’s dead body, she also finds surprising connections to a seedier underbelly of crime, strip clubs, steamy literature, and human trafficking.
Price range: $18.99 through $28.99
Having failed to save one woman, Liv is determined to rescue another. Meanwhile, her boyfriend Jasper—aka Dr. Hottie—pushes their relationship too far, too fast. Her best friend Ashleigh becomes obsessed with all things baby. And FBI Agent Colin Snow keeps appearing and disappearing in a maddening way. Amid the turmoil, Liv questions her choices and contemplates her true desires.
It’s a sticky summer in Portland, Maine, and in the heat of it all, Liv discovers that often the most complex relationship a woman has is the one with herself.

“In this fast-paced, wryly humorous mystery, PI Olivia Lively navigates a web of crime, strip clubs, and steamy books while grappling with her own future. With a unique and smart heroine at its center, NIGHT MOVES is an excellent read that will keep you guessing until the last chapter. I can’t wait to read Burbank’s next installment of this series!”
—Tara Lush, author of Every Hex You Take and other cozy mysteries
“Wow, do I love this series! Book 2 has made me a lifelong fan. Why? I adore Liv Lively… I can see the series optioned for TV or film or Netflix, with its cinematic prose, fantastic MC, and splendid Maine setting. Also, Book 2 can be read solo, but you’ll want to read the first for the whole immersive experience. Look out, mystery buffs, Liv Lively’s back. Hurrah!”
