In The Accidental Detective humorous mystery series, a witty journalist solves mysteries in Arizona and tackles the challenges of turning fifty.
Kate Tessler and her crew of misfits set out to blow the whistle on two feuding crime families . . .
Former war
correspondent Kate Tessler has solved multiple murders since
returning to her Arizona hometown, to the grudging appreciation of the local
police. Now Detective Padilla and the FBI approach Kate with a
proposal. Two Russian crime families have rented a private historic train to
the Grand Canyon for their children’s wedding. The route is scenic and remote.
No cell phones. The FBI needs to surveil, but anyone infiltrating the
train must be above suspicion.
Kate poses as herself, sent by the newspaper to cover the society wedding, while her sister Jen is the photographer. Their multi-generational and eccentric crew pose as train staff. The goal is to observe, but that quickly derails when the groom disappears, and a search for him turns up a dead body. Everyone’s a suspect and trapped on the train.

Early reviewers say:
“A wedding on a train between rival Russian mafia families. What could go wrong? This book is a nail biter and I had a hard time putting it down. I just needed to know what happened next. It is the perfect mystery story; interesting and unpredictable.”
“I was excited to read another book in the accidental detective series. I could not figure out the ending, so I had to keep reading.”

Quick Peek:
You might
assume reporting on wars and natural disasters would be the dangerous part of
my life, but moving back home to Arizona after a bomb tore up my leg hadn’t
exactly resulted in a peaceful retirement. Arnold and Clarence gave a new
meaning to “natural disaster.”
Still, they’d
been loyal friends and had helped me investigate crimes, wanting nothing more
than the knowledge that they’d done some good.
Ha, just
kidding. They wanted excitement, adventure, and the adrenaline rush of danger.
They might be in their seventies and eighties, but they were more likely to
play strip poker than bridge and they’d only sit in the park feeding pigeons if
it was part of a stakeout. Even then they’d probably try to train the pigeons
as evil minions, or at least questionably moral ones.

In the Accidental Billionaire Cowboys series, a Texas ranching family wins a fortune in the lottery, which causes as many problems as it solves. Kris’s Furrever Friends Sweet Romance series features the employees and customers at a cat café falling in love with each other and shelter cats.
