The quirky, queer, small-town Florida mystery you've been waiting for!
Reluctant small-town reporter Joey Stevens never expected to be stuck back in her tiny hometown of Squirrel Key, an island known for clam farming and rampant gossip.
But after orange-juice-heiress-slash-movie-star Eva Iversen swoops in to turn a ruined mansion into an art gallery—and the owner of the local newspaper winds up dead—Joey gets sucked into the story.
Following clues that lead her to a bottom-feeding fraudster, a local realtor bookie, and a booby-trapped gauntlet in an abandoned lighthouse, Joey emerges with a mysterious gold Rolex and several truths: her boss’s death wasn’t an accident, and she might have the hots for Eva.
Can Joey navigate dodgy characters, bootlegger tunnels, and a billionaire Jerry Hall look-alike to get the scoop and uncover her own place in the process?
Joey Stevens Gets a Clue is a quirky, queer, small-town mystery with humor, heart, and a low-spice, slow-burn romance set in coastal Florida—book 1 of the Squirrel Key Mystery series.
