Celeste Connally recommends

Stakeouts and Strollers (2026)
Rob Phillips
"A fast-paced page-turner with equal amounts of dry wit and heart fueling PI Charlie Shaw and his determination to get to the truth, Stakeouts and Strollers reads like a twenty-first century Rockford Files, with a side of new-dad exhaustion increasing the humor and tension. Phillips's debut does not disappoint, and I'm already looking forward to more!"

A New Lease on Death (2024)
(Ruby and Cordelia Mysteries, book 1)
Olivia Blacke
"My new favorite sleuthing odd couple. . . This delightfully dark mystery is well-crafted with humor and heart."
