Ms. Renfield and the Deadly Puzzle
(2026)(The second book in the Immortal Boss series)
A novel by Annika Martin
Some people inherit money. Real estate. Good looks. Me? I inherited lifelong servitude to a dangerous vampire.
Ummm...no thanks!
But then Alexandru shows up in my small town intent on hunting my friends and family, so I agree to manage his worldwide empire—as long as he only drains victims who deserve it.
Like murderers and serial killers.
So we hunt together. And as luck would have it (sort of) a new body turns up in Ashwood: death by crossbow bolt, very much not an accident.
The investigation should be straightforward.
But every time I think I’ve found the pattern, it falls apart. Every lead points somewhere new. And the deeper Alexandru and I dig, the more it feels like I’m missing something obvious. Which I hate, because I do not miss obvious things, and I have never met a spreadsheet I couldn't make behave.
Meanwhile, Alexandru is asking questions that are none of his business. He’s taking off his gloves in a weirdly hot way. And worst of all, he's starting to look at me like I'm not just slightly more valuable than a goat.
Which is extremely inconvenient. Because I thought the most dangerous thing in my life was the killer we’re hunting; now I’m wondering if it could be my immortal boss.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
