Accidental Detective News: Former war correspondent Kate Tessler is back in Something Prowling in Paradise Park!🕵️‍♀️

In the Accidental Detective humorous mystery series, a witty journalist solves mysteries in Arizona and tackles the challenges of turning fifty. In this new release, Kate has built a new life in Arizona, with the help of family and friends eager to keep her busy with new mysteries to solve. Her eccentric senior pals introduce her to the Standishes, who’ve returned early from summer back east to investigate their high utility bills and discovered squatters with a forged rental agreement. It could take months to evict them legally. Can the gang find a faster way to oust the intruders? Her boyfriend’s sons bring Kate another case: dog thefts in the neighborhood. What if their beloved Whiskers is next?

This amateur detective and her found family follow the clues and uncover secrets. Everyone enjoys crime solving, but the investigation takes a dangerous twist when Kate brings Todd’s teen on a stakeout, and they stumble upon a body. Was the bizarre death a freakish accident—or murder?

Reviewers say:
“A page turning read… I have enjoyed this series so much.”

“The characters in this book remind me of those in Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series. I love their quirks and I was fooled until the very end.”

Kate Tessler had to leave her celebrated career as an international war correspondent after an injury. Now she and her sister, Jen, dabble in detective work in her Arizona hometown. When Jen’s college friend asks them to investigate suspicious activity at a motel he inherited, it sounds like a free vacation with a little surveillance thrown in. Then Kate’s hot flashes wake her in the middle of the night. She wanders outside to cool off and stumbles into a crime scene. Soon they’re caught up in their toughest—and most dangerous—case yet. Kate and Jen can’t trust anyone at the motel or the local police force they suspect of corruption. Good thing they have their eclectic senior sidekicks to share the undercover work.

Readers say: “What’s great about this series is the easy, affectionate relationship between the amateur investigators, ranging from very young to senior people. I love that everyone has something to do and to contribute to the general investigation goals. The humor and teasing are also stupendous.”

“My new Favorite Female Sleuth: I highly recommend this fun, imaginative mystery.”
