Beschreibung

One of The Boston Globe's Best Mysteries of 2011 "Guaranteed to appeal to those who have never got over the death of Dorothy L. Sayers." —Financial Times (UK)Welcome to Edinburgh, 1926. Dandy Gilver, a wealthy and witty aristocrat (and sometimes amateur sleuth) receives a letter from Lollie Balfour, who insists that her husband of five years is having her followed and her mail is being steamed open. The only way for Dandy to help is by pretending to applying for a job as a lady's maid in Lollie's house. Dandy gets a crash course from her own maid and arrives at 31 Heriot Row, ready to put all of her detection skills to good use. Why does Mr. Balfour want to get rid of his wife? And can Dandy stay in disguise long enough to evade the villains?  Charming and funny, Dandy Gilver is an irresistible sleuth who is sure to win over mystery lovers everywhere. Readers who can't get enough of Dorothy L. Sayers, Barbara Pym, and Dorothy Parker will definitely find a new favorite in Catriona McPherson's smart and original mystery.

    Laurie Lisa's latest audiobook is now available! 
    Hollister McClane, is a captivating, fun, and lighthearted picaresque mixing crime fiction with a bit of good old-fashioned Southern charm. Hollister’s wild adventures will keep you turning pages non-stop! 
    A small-town Southern Missouri beauty (if she does say so herself), Hollister has an uncanny knack for accidentally robbing banks, convenience stores, and possibly even a drug cartel. Toss in a couple of grand theft autos—purely by accident, of course—but she wouldn’t hurt a fly. Not even when Ruger falls into her lap. 
    Savvy, self-taught, and eternally optimistic, Hollister hitchhikes, runs, and drives her way across America’s heartland, stumbling into one misadventure after another. After unintentionally robbing her first bank dressed as Uncle Sam, she decides life on the run must be fate. And lucky for her, she’s a genius at disguises (if she does say so herself). 
    Hollister always tries to put her ill-gotten gains to good use, but somehow, the money never seems to stick. Meanwhile, a few complications keep popping up: the law, the lovers, the three not-quite-ex-husbands, the babies, and, of course, world-weary Mama. And when she finally does use that gun—well, let’s just say it’s pointed a little too close to home. 
    BOOK REVIEWS 
    5* "A fun romp! . . . With so many who-done-it books out there and trashy romance and sci-fi, it is refreshing to just sit down and read a fun tale of a sweet young girl making her way thru the good ‘ol U.S. of A. Hollister has a great spirit and solid Southern values, and best of all, she loves her mama!" 
    5* "Entertaining, Enthralling, and Brilliantly Written: A MUST READ OF 2021! . . . This was a truly engaging read. Author Laurie Lisa hits it out of the park once more."

    Lucy Haskell is returning home to Denver after four years living abroad in China. She's eager to see everything that has changed in her absence and to start the next chapter of her life. When her dear friend and traveling companion, Delphine Collins, goes missing, Lucy realizes she's in a unique position to help. She decides to apply to become a Pinkerton agent, offering her familiarity with the culture to help search for Delphine in Chinatown. 
    Jed Green isn't sure what he thinks about ladies joining the agency. From personal experience, Jed knows it's dangerous work, and he can't imagine putting a woman in such a tenuous situation. When he's asked to train a new female agent, he reluctantly agrees. But when he's asked to marry her for propriety's sake? That's another thing altogether – how utterly preposterous!  
    Before Jed and Lucy can concentrate on their case, they must discover if they can work together. However, resolving their surprising feelings for each other, so they can focus on their dangerous task, is another thing altogether.
