From debut author Kristen Andrews comes a new mystery series that may make you snort-laugh.
A rookie PI, a ghost hunting BFF — and a murder that’s dying to be solved.
The ink isn’t dry on Jessica Byrne’s private investigator license, and her first client—wealthy jeweler Daniel Swiggerd—is chilling in the morgue. Her other client? Cooling his heels in the clink, charged with Daniel’s murder.
With her best friend Sam, a paranormal investigator who’s dead serious about her Ouija board, Jessica’s set up shop in her scruffy hometown of Pottstown, Pennsylvania—better known as “Potts Vegas” to the locals. Now Jessica's racing to clear Vlad’s name and find the real killer before her fledgling business flatlines—and Vlad goes up the river permanently. In her way is her smokeshow ex-boyfriend and rival P.I., Max O’Conner, hot on the same trail.
When their cases collide at an ’80s metal party, Jessica and Max join forces, bend the law, and fight off ruthless gangsters with a fast food habit—and their feelings for each other—to catch the killer.
Snark, sparks, and small-town scandal—this mystery proves that sometimes the dead aren’t the only ones haunting you.
And coming in 2026...
Jessica's knee deep in weed, covered in poison ivy and on the trail of a cold blooded killer.
While out squatching in the state park, Jessica and Sam mistakenly mosey into a marijuana farm, witness a murder and high-tail it out of the woods as arrows whiz past them. When the dead guy's best friend shows up in her office the next day, instead of bigfoot hunting with Sam, Jessica and ex-cop Max O'Conner team up to hunt a killer around town. Sam catches a UFO case and calls Kurt Crater from the Pennsylvania UFO Organization (PUFOO) to help investigate, and Jessica gets caught up in her Aunt Joanie's nutty pyramid scheme. Soon, she and Sam are knee-deep in cashews, chaos and hell-bent on earning a trip to the tropics.
Join Jessica as she dodges arrows, bullets, and tractor beams in this second snark-filled installment of the Jessica Byrne, P.I. mystery series.
