Expect to be engaged
Meet Paul and Lacey Hansen: orphaned, pot-growing,
twentysomething siblings eking out a living in rural
northern California. When a headless corpse appears on their
property, they can’t exactly dial 911, so they move the body
and wait for the police to find it. Instead, the corpse
reappears,
a few days riper—and this time Lacey recognizes it as her
ex-fiancé . . . and an amateur sleuth is born. Make that two. When collaborators Lutz and Hayward (former romantic partners)
start to disagree about how the story should unfold, the
body count rises, victims and suspects alike develop wildly
inconsistent
characteristics (meet Brandy Chester, the stripper with the
Mensa IQ), and our defective detectives wind up putting
both their lives at risk. Think Adaptation meets Weeds. Will
the authors solve the mystery without killing each other first?
