Problem. I didn’t recognize my ex-girlfriend when she died in my arms. Now I have to explain to the police (and my girlfriend) why I didn’t recognize my ex. Funny how ex-boyfriends make great suspects. It’s been years since I’ve seen my ex. Still, you’d think I’d recognize her. I can’t even have a long weekend in a Washington vineyard without trouble. Even worse, my sister invited my new girlfriend’s family to tag along. If I solve the murder, will this whole mess go away? There’s a reason why I like to stay in Seattle. Holt Jacobs isn’t for everyone. He’s a sarcastic ...

If there’s one thing more dangerous than fireworks, it’s dating. Note to self: Lying facedown on the floor while my vacation home gets ransacked isn’t romantic. That break-in wrecked our simple lunch. Definitely not the date I had in mind. My only reason for spending the Fourth of July in Idaho was to try dating Brittany Asato. And now I can’t relax while expecting trouble behind every tree. I have to know who did this. But how do you juggle dating with crime-solving? There’s a reason I’ve stayed single. Holt Jacobs isn’t for everyone. He’s a sarcastic introvert who can ...
