About the author
Nora Kendrick writes mysteries for readers who want a real puzzle and a real laugh in the same book — bodies that matter, suspects that are genuinely funny, and a detective who narrates her own investigation like she can't quite believe her job either.
"Somebody's dead. It's still going to be a good time."
