Cheated to Death
2023
Angeles Investigations is nearly ready for its opening day on Tuesday, August 1. Rob Jones, Kevin Brodie, and Jamilah Daly have worked for weeks to make their vision come to life. Jamie Brodie is on board to resume his career as a professional researcher. All they need to do now is hire an administrative assistant. How hard could that be?
Meanwhile, Jon Eckhoff and Susan Portman are tracking a serial killer preying on real estate agents in the Valley. When interior decorator Paul Thayer is found stabbed to death in an empty house in the Palisades, the powers that be decide to assign that one to Jon and Susan, too.
Fortunately, Paul’s murder should be easy to solve. They have two excellent suspects - Paul’s ex-business partner, Adrienne Pennell, and his ex-husband, Aaron Quinn. They both have financial motives, and neither of them has an alibi. All Jon and Susan have to do is prove that one of them killed Paul. How hard could that be?
Adrienne Pennell has other ideas. She hires Angeles Investigations to solve Paul’s murder and thereby exonerate her and Aaron. The race is on between former partners Kevin and Jon to find Paul’s killer. And, to Jamie’s dismay, he gets dragged into the field with Rob to do some playacting.
Paul’s life was complicated, and there are plenty of questions to answer. Why didn’t he ever change his will? Who’s the silent partner in his business? Whose DNA is in the condom in his bathroom? What will the beneficiary of his will do with all that penile art? And who the hell is Davis Scherer, and why is he lying?
The answers are out there, and Angeles is determined to find them before the police do.
How hard could that be?

Spotted to Death
An Angeles Investigations Mystery
2025
“LA Tower, Southwest 2298. There’s someone lying on the top deck of the parking garage.”
When a passenger on an arriving flight spots a body on top of a garage at LAX, the mystery seems like a routine whodunit. Then another tragedy draws Angeles Investigations and the LAPD into a web of lies and deceit that extends to Mexico and beyond. The Brodie brothers are forced to face some of their own demons, and the rest of the team wonders - what happens when justice can’t be served?

Influenced to Death
An Angeles Investigations Mystery
2025
Next season, on Two Days to Solve…
Miranda Abbott is an influencer superstar. With 32 million followers on TikTok, she has built a business empire on filming her shopping hauls, bath routines, and cooking adventures. But when her body double, Emily Fairborn, is found dead in Miranda’s pool, Miranda’s empire is thrown into chaos. Was Miranda the target, or was Emily? Was it even a murder, or just a terrible accident? Miranda doesn’t have time for this, and hires Angeles Investigations to get answers.
But Angeles is in chaos, too. Because the producers of Two Days to Solve are back, and they want one more season featuring their most popular detectives ever, Jon Eckhoff and Kevin Brodie. Never mind that Kevin isn’t even a cop anymore, much less Jon’s partner.
And the rest of the Angeles staff will do whatever it takes to stay out of range of the TV cameras.

I started reading mysteries where a lot of us started - with Nancy Drew. I graduated to Agatha Christie, then P.D. James. My new favorite is Peter Lovesey. I've had the characters of Jamie Brodie and Pete Ferguson in my head for a long time, but just recently figured out how to tell their stories. Jamie is an academic librarian because I'm an academic librarian and it's the world I know best. Thanks for reading!
