“Who hasn’t thought of solving murders in their spare time if given the chance? Okay, not Emersyn Gray, but when a handsome man, a fake detective agency and a body drop into her life at the same time, what’s a girl to do? Fast-paced and quippy, Definitely Maybe Not a Detective is sure to please fans of the Finlay Donovan series.”—Catherine Mack, USA Today bestselling author of Every Time I Go On Vacation, Someone Dies
“Sarah Fox’s Definitely Maybe Not a Detective is a fun, funny, and flirty whodunnit. With a quick-witted cast of characters, the action, mystery, and simmering heat will keep you hooked right to the last page.”—Sophie Sullivan, award winning author of Can’t Help Falling in Love and Ten Rules for Faking it
“Definitely Maybe Not a Detective is a charming series starter, and readers who love Only Murders in the Building and Elle Cosimano’s Finlay Donovan series will enjoy the satisfying whodunit that unfolds alongside the slow-burn romance.”—Washington Independent Review of Books
“Definitely Maybe Not a Detective was suspenseful and fun, particularly if you’re a fan of cozy comical murder mysteries.”—Chick Lit Central

“A fake detective agency becomes all too real in this sweet series launch from Fox (the Magical Menagerie Mysteries). Taking more than a dash of inspiration from Only Murders in the Building, Fox successfully combines kooky characters, a simmering romance, and a solid whodunit plot. Cozy mystery fans will be charmed.”—Publishers Weekly
