IF NANCY DREW DRANK JACK DANIELS… Meet Jessica James.

What if the teacher you hate wound up … murdered?

What if you and your slacker friends found his body?

What if it were a race against time to find the killer before he found you?

Unless, he’s the irresistable art collector you’re mooning over. Now, that would be awkward.

˃˃˃ If you like you’re sleuths fierce, funny and female, you’ll love Jessica James in this award winning page-turner.

Philosophy student Jessica James just wants to defend her thesis and earn her degree. Instead, she finds her professor dead in a bathtub, her thesis marked for rejection, and leaves enough clues at the murder scene to make her a suspect.

Before she can say, ‘What doesn’t kill you sends you to therapy,’ the mob gets involved and it’s up to Jessica and her ragtag posse of friends – Amber the tech-savvy hippie, Jack the wisecracking stoner, and Lolita the seductive poker ‘Tsarina’ – to catch the killer before Jessica becomes the next victim.

˃˃˃ Smart, capable women shine in this cast.

Refreshingly authentic..A fast-paced and thoroughly engaging whodunit. –Kirkus Reviews

Nobody tops Kelly Oliver for delivering fast-paced narrative, quirky characters, and a plot as twisty as a bucking bronco–all of this leavened with Oliver’s trademark wry humor.

–Caroline Taylor, author of Loose Ends and The Typist
