Perfect for you if...

You love cozy mysteries with humour and heart, where the detective is figuring things out as she goes rather than being a seasoned pro.
You want a story about a woman rebuilding her identity after years of playing it safe, with the mystery as the engine that forces her to change.
You're drawn to ensemble casts where quirky friendships (cleaner, neighbour, cat) are just as important as solving the crime.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer hard-boiled detective fiction or graphic violence; this is light and charming rather than dark.
You need a protagonist with agency from page one; Kiki starts overwhelmed and finds her footing gradually.
You're looking for standalone mysteries; this is book one of a series and sets up relationships you'll want to follow.

About this book

Life took an unexpected turn for Kiki Lowenstein when an impulsive college night resulted in an unplanned pregnancy. George Lowenstein married her, but years later, Kiki still feels the weight of that beginning. Now a young mother in a suburban St. Louis home, she has the life she was supposed to want, but lacks the connection she truly craves. Determined to reinvent herself, Kiki launches "Operation Make New Friends" in her upscale neighborhood. However, fitting in proves difficult and dangerous. When a neighbor's suspicious accident turns deadly, Kiki becomes the prime suspect. With help from Mert "Got Dirt?" Chambers, a housecleaner, a kindhearted neighbor, and a black cat, Kiki investigates the mystery surrounding her. As suspicion mounts and danger increases, she must uncover the truth while protecting her family. This cozy mystery serves as the prequel to the Kiki Lowenstein Mystery Series and can be read as a standalone. It features an amateur detective, small-town secrets, and humor alongside suspense.
