Perfect for you if...

You enjoy cosy mysteries with actual stakes and a protagonist who's neither a bumbling amateur nor a seasoned detective.
You like small-town settings where everyone's got secrets and the social dynamics matter as much as the plot.
You appreciate dry humour and banter woven through a murder investigation without it becoming parody.

Maybe not for you if...

You need a fast-paced thriller that doesn't pause for character moments or relationship building.
You prefer mysteries where the detective has official resources and authority to work with.
You're looking for a dark, gritty procedural rather than a character-driven puzzle.

About this book

Kallie Brooks works as a bartender at The Lazy Gecko in the small town of Owhiro, Florida. One night after her shift, she discovers a young woman's dead body in the back seat of her car. In a town where news spreads quickly, suspicion falls on Kallie. When the assigned detective is stationed miles away in St. Petersburg, she worries the case will be abandoned. With help from her best friend Tess and her father, Kallie begins investigating the murder herself. As she uncovers shady characters and hidden secrets, she finds it increasingly difficult to stop. Kallie soon learns that solving a murder is far more dangerous than her job at the bar. The investigation involves tension, deception, and small-town intrigue as she works to find the killer and see justice served.
