The Accidental Detectives: It's Called Murder, Brenda. Look It Up (Accidental Detective Mystery #1) by Dakota Cassidy
Blurb:
Welcome to my worst effin’ nightmare—The
Accidental Detective Agency…
I’m Nina Statleon, a vampire (with a little bit of witch thrown in for good
measure—a sucky, magic less one), for those interested. My best friends, Marty,
a werewolf and and Wanda, a halfsie, have talked me into opening a detective
agency for paranormals.
Let me be real clear, I do not want to be a detective and I think this idea is
bananapants. Now the dungeon in my castle in Long Island is our new office, I
call the murder basement, filled with watercolor landscapes, throw
rugs and uncomfortable furniture—all in the name of making our clients
comfortable.
That said, my partners in this new adventure don’t care about all my protests.
That’s how we end up with our first client, Brenda Bronkowski, an older vampire
the human police are hunting down for murder…
Brenda fell for one of the oldest tricks in this new age of technology’s book—a
romance scam. Lonely and sad with only her pets for companionship, Brenda
hooked up—with a human—a much younger one. You guessed it, Brenda was
catfished.
Now that much younger human, Owen Barker, is dead, leaving behind a wife and
two kids. Brenda swears she’s never even met him, let alone murdered him and
she’s come to us for help finding the person responsible for his murder.
Not only is the suspect list low (like, we only have two), there’s a glitch,
and it’s a big one.
The clan.
They don’t like it when a vampire’s been accused of murdering a human. They
take you out, ask questions later. Brenda’s technically a fugitive we’re
harboring while we investigate. It’s bad enough the human police like her for
Owen's murder, but if the clan finds out we’ve got her holed up in the murder
basement, it won’t only be curtains for Brenda, our little private
investigating gig could be over before it’s really begun.
Which wouldn’t exactly be the end of the world for me, but my overachieving BFFs
would never let me hear the end of it. That means, we need to solve this
pronto, so we can get the clan off our backs, but more importantly, so Brenda
doesn’t end up expunged...
My review:
The OOPS gang has a spin off. The OOPS folks are branching out. Not only are
they guiding accidental paranormals they are now investigating paranormal crimes.
Their first case is a doozy as they fumble along to solve the case of the
catfished vampire. I absolutely love these characters and am glad to see them stretch
their wings.
