Grace’s life is turned upside down when she finds her boss’s dead body at his desk. After being questioned by the police, Grace takes it as a sign to declare her recent move to Philadelphia a bust and move back to Florida, until her boss’s widow, Jo, shows up and offers Grace a job as her assistant.
The catch? Jo only wants assistance with one thing: solving her husband’s murder. Jo believes that the police can’t be trusted, and that two amateur millennial women will have much better luck cracking the case.
Armed with Jo’s creative “crime board” and various disguises – including a retired stripper and a pro bono housecleaner – they just might pull it off …
Hilarious, wholesome, and relatable, Grace & Jo Have Never Solved a Murder speaks to everyone who’s ever believed that they could solve a mystery.
Featuring a found family spanning generations and with chaos on every page, Grace & Jo Have Never Solved A Murder is a light-hearted, fun, and wholesome read!
