The perfect girl ghosted me, the cops are on my ass asking where she went, rent's due in a week, and the only person willing to help me is my ex-wife's new girlfriend -- what even is this life?
Cab Jaurek is trying to stay afloat, having entered his forties in the first year of his divorce and doing app delivery with EatCar for cash. When Cab meets Ariana Rodriguez, he’s hoping this is the universe signaling a change in his luck. Then Ari skips out on their first date — and seemingly her entire life. Worse, the cops are asking questions Cab can’t answer and someone from his past is sneaking around his present, ripping open wounds long since scabbed over. The only solution may be teaming up with Astrid “AC” Eriksson — a rookie PI — true crime fanatic and his ex-wife’s new girlfriend. Except what good is chasing down clues & conspiracy…if it don’t pay the rent?
Funny, moving, and riveting! The multiple story lines layer like a Smith Island cake of mystery, intrigue, romance, musical pop culture nostalgia, and, comedy, and true crime.
Writing style is reminiscent of Elle Cosimano (Finlay Donovan series) and Matt Dinniman (Dungeon Crawler Carl series).
Unique formatting feels fresh and makes for a quick read.
Love this book- awesome debut novel that left me wanting more... when's the sequel???
