Deal Ends: Tue 11th November

Every Sherlock needs his Watson, every Hercule Poirot his Captain Hastings. Who else could tell their stories that we might share in their adventures?Meet Simon Fletcher, a recently (and reluctantly) retired Marine, at present the facilities and security manager for Lake Tahoe’s exclusive Bright Star Summer RV Residence. Enter Miss BD Finch, who shortly embroils Simon Fletcher in mystery, mayhem and . . . murder.Indeed, life at Bright Star takes several left-hand turns when the diminutive and enigmatic Miss Finch, driving a restored classic panel wagon and towing a seventeen-foot travel trailer, attempts to check in. In addition to her nonexclusive and somewhat unusual “rig,” Miss Finch herself is never what people expect. Those around her generally find themselves knocked off-kilter, including and especially those she’s scrutinizing—because although our delightfully unpredictable Miss Finch has many talents, she is also an investigator. The private kind.And when Miss Finch arrives on the south shore of Lake Tahoe for a summer of rest and recuperation, her R&R does not go as planned. Rather, “things” go oddly awry. Dangerously awry.Prepare yourself for . . . The Tahoe Mysteries.Book 1: Number 1 with a BulletBook 2: Be Quick or Be Dead, 2025Book 3: Death on the Big Blue, 2026Murder by Accident, A Miss Finch Prequel, 2025
