DEFINITELY, MAYBE NOT A DETECTIVE
A Novel
In this delightfully charming rom-com mystery, a woman becomes accidentally entangled in a murder investigation (and with a handsome stranger) when her fake detective agency is enlisted to solve a real homicidefrom the bestselling author of the Pancake House Mysteries.
Emersyn Gray is definitely not a detective.
Really, she's an unemployed twenty-eight-year-old raising her beloved niece in the only place she can afford after her ex-boyfriend ran off with her life savings: a run-down, seniors-only apartment complex that was desperate for tenants. But never fearher wild best friend has the perfect plan to get Emersyn back on her feet and stick it to her thieving ex: scare him into returning her money by hiring a private investigator to prove he stole it. Only, there won't be an actual detective, just a fabricated business card from Wyatt Investigations. . .and a ridiculously hot stranger who steps in to play the parta stranger whose name is, coincidentally, Wyatt.
Emersyn can't help but notice the real-life Wyatt is capital H-O-T hot, even though she's wary of his intentions. But her ex does seem flustered, and if she can get her money back and regain control of her life, maybe it'll finally prove to her parents that she can be a responsible caregiver to her niece.
But the day after they set their plan in motion, the superintendent of Emersyn's apartment building winds up dead, and her neighbors turn to her fake detective for help after finding one of the phony business cards. With so many eyes on themor maybe just their eyes on each otherEmersyn and Wyatt agree to take on the case. Now the question is: Can they solve the murder without getting tangled up in their own fictionsor each other?
