Accidental Detective Mystery

I'm Nina Statleon, a vampire (with a little bit of witch thrown in for good measure-a sucky, magic-less one). My best friends, Marty, a werewolf, and and Wanda, a halfsie, have talked me into opening a detective agency for paranormals. 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. You guessed it, Brenda was catfished. 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, there's a glitch, and it's a big one. The clan. 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. 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 . . .

Marty Flaherty here: Half human, half werewolf, aaall girl and proud of it. First, let me say, we're not exactly great at this detective gig. But while in the midst of trying to choose our next case to solve and learning from the mistakes we made with our last investigation, my fifteen-year-old daughter Hollis makes a plea we can't turn our backs on. Her best friend, Charmaine Ellis needs our help. Charmaine's father's been accused of murdering their house manager's daughter. A sweet, thoughtful young woman who grew up in the Ellis household-a young woman Ronald once considered a daughter. The madness in all of this? He fully admits he's whodunnit! The catch? He can't remember a single thing about the morning he allegedly murdered Zinnia. Due to the archaic inefficiency of the were council police, and their deep desire to keep all matters werewolf deeply hidden from the human world, Ronald asks us to help him investigate what happened that morning. So we jump in both feet and this time, with a hefty list of suspects on our side, but as we dig deeper we find secrets none of us expected, proving murder in the paranormal world is a tricky game of cat and mouse!

Wanda Jefferson, vampire/werewolf hybrid and (very) reluctant temporary PTA president, reporting for duty! I'd do anything for my two precious babies, Olivia and Sam, including whip up batches of cupcakes late into the night for their annual bake sale at the Paranormal School for the Gifted. And if I have to endure the most insufferable, controlling, bossy-pants PTA president in all of existence who goes by the name Neerie Lincoln-so be it. Except today, Neerie's a no-show, leaving me in charge of the event. Neerie's sister claims she's been missing for two days. When she begs me and my besties, Nina and Marty, to put our fledgling detective skills to work to find her, we're reluctant. Of course, Neerie has also left a recently disgruntled ex, a loser baby-daddy, and a long line of horribly mistreated people in her wake. Oh . . . and have we mentioned Neerie's absolutely obsessed with conspiracy theories? And the human groups devoted to them? Yep. The suspect pool just got a whole lot bigger. Diving headlong into Neerie's crazy world of nutball conspiracies, Nina, Marty and I thought we'd seen every form of weird during our various Accidental adventures. We were SO wrong . . .
