"Lorena McCourtney's lively cozy mysteries hit all the right
notes for me, and her newest doesn't miss a chord. A quirky,
likable heroine, a handsome guy, and oh, a murder. Don't miss Cate
Kinkaid's first case as a PI. It's a killer."--Lyn Cote, author of
La Belle Christiane
All she wanted was a paycheck. What she got was a
murder.
Cate Kinkaid's life is . . . well, frankly it's floundering. Her
social life, her career, her haircut--they're all a mess.
Unemployed, she jumps at the chance to work for her PI uncle, even
though she has no experience and no instincts. After all, she is
just dabbling in the world of private investigating until she can
find a "real" job.
All she has to do for her first assignment is determine that a
particular woman lives at a particular address. Simple, right? But
when she reaches the dark Victorian house, she runs into an hungry
horde of gray-haired mystery readers and a dead body. This routine
PI job is turning out to be anything but simple. Is Cate in over
her head?

author of Carol Award-winning The Camera Never
Lies
