Kelli Jae Baeli

Also Known as Armchair Detective Kelli Jae Baeli

"Funny, entertaining, romance, and suspense, all in one book!""Great story with a fun main character. A little mystery, action, good sex, and great story telling. What more do you want?"Jobeth O'Brien awakens on the floor of her kitchen, her battered face and the memory of an angry visitor tells her that she is close to something important in her investigation. In between this surveillance and delivering newspapers, her beloved '62 Falcon is the scene of middle-of-the-night romps with a lonely socialite, who gives her more than she bargained for. Her quest for the truth pits her against errant husbands, a modern-day madam with a taste for blood, a horny landlady, a vicious attack dog, and the lies she tells herself. Amid these challenges, Jobeth stakes out her prey and runs for her life, continuing the investigation that pulls her into close calls, unexpected allies, and more secrets. But Jobeth has secrets of her own, and only love can excavate them."Ms. Baeli's writing style...is sort of Plum meets Chandler; it's funnier than Plum, though, and if not quite as noir as Chandler, it's getting there. Which is not to say it's derivative in any way, just to give you an idea what it's like. And, it's a combination that works really, really well." "extremely well-written and nicely paced, with a plot was that's interesting, and with engaging characters, especially Jobeth."
