Interrogated in California
(2026)(The ninth book in the Midlife Crisis Mystery series)
A novel by Diana Xarissa
When I decided to go to California on my next bucket list vacation, my new friend Jasmine was happy for me. And then she and her boyfriend decided to hijack my vacation and turn it into their wedding celebration. As if that wasn’t bad enough, they also invited my ex-boyfriend George to spend the week with us.
I’m a grown adult. I can be civil to the man for an entire week in order to make Jasmine happy. The problems start when this time around it’s George who finds a dead body. Marta was an actress and waitress who’d wanted to talk to George about criminal defense. The question was, what did Marta know?
It isn’t long before we discover that Marta had recently been at a party where a man had died. Although his death might have been an accident, it seems more likely that he was also murdered. And suddenly my fun days touring theme parks and taking studio tours become days tracking down suspects and asking them difficult questions. I’m hoping I can keep being the one asking the questions and not get noticed by the local police. I really want to avoid being Interrogated in California.
