Blurb/Summary:
Let me be real clear, I do not want to be a detective and I think this idea is bananapants. Now the dungeon in my castle in Long Island is our new office, I call the murder basement, filled with watercolor landscapes, throw rugs and uncomfortable furniture—all in the name of making our clients comfortable.
That said, my partners in this new adventure don’t care about all my protests. That’s how we end up with our first client, Brenda Bronkowski, an older vampire the human police are hunting down for murder…
Brenda fell for one of the oldest tricks in this new age of technology’s book—a romance scam. Lonely and sad with only her pets for companionship, Brenda hooked up—with a human—a much younger one. You guessed it, Brenda was catfished.
Now that much younger human, Owen Barker, is dead, leaving behind a wife and two kids. Brenda swears she’s never even met him, let alone murdered him and she’s come to us for help finding the person responsible for his murder.
Not only is the suspect list low (like, we only have two), there’s a glitch, and it’s a big one.
The clan.
They don’t like it when a vampire’s been accused of murdering a human. They take you out, ask questions later. Brenda’s technically a fugitive we’re harboring while we investigate. It’s bad enough the human police like her for Owen's murder, but if the clan finds out we’ve got her holed up in the murder basement, it won’t only be curtains for Brenda, our little private investigating gig could be over before it’s really begun.
Which wouldn’t exactly be the end of the world for me, but my overachieving BFFs would never let me hear the end of it. That means, we need to solve this pronto, so we can get the clan off our backs, but more importantly, so Brenda doesn’t end up expunged...
Review:
Great debut novel in a spin off series from the Accidentals. I loved that it was written in Nina’s point of view but had all the OOPs ladies. This new series is also a fantastic way to bring in previous OOPs clients to help solve the mystery, and let readers see how they have progressed in their new paranormal lives.
Although this is the first book in a spin off series, you do not have to have read the previous series. Nina, Wanda, and Marty have a strong relationship already established in this first book based on their previous experiences. If you want to see how those bonds were formed, then check out the Accidental Series. If not, then just enjoy this book. They are still managing to get into major scrapes even after all this time.
This new series was set up a little in the last Accidental book. We knew it was coming, and it did not disappoint. The Accidental Detectives: It’s Called Murder, Benda. Look It Up has great characters, some old and some new, a fast-moving plot with action, and can be read in one sitting or savored.
I enjoyed the new twist on what and how the ladies will be interacting in their world going forward. Great first book!
