About this listen
Emersyn Gray is definitely not a detective.
Really, she’s an unemployed twenty-eight-year-old raising her beloved niece in the only place she can afford after her ex-boyfriend ran off with her life savings: a run-down, seniors-only apartment complex that was desperate for tenants. But never fear—her wild best friend has the perfect plan to get Emersyn back on her feet and stick it to her thieving ex: scare him into returning her money by hiring a private investigator to prove he stole it. Only, there won’t be an actual detective, just a fabricated business card from Wyatt Investigations . . . and a ridiculously hot stranger, who steps in to play the part—a stranger whose name is, coincidentally, Wyatt.
Emersyn can’t help but notice the real-life Wyatt is capital H-O-T hot, even though she’s wary of his intentions. But her ex does seem flustered, and if she can get her money back and regain control of her life, maybe it’ll finally prove to her parents that she can be a responsible caregiver to her niece.
But the day after they set their plan in motion, the superintendent of Emersyn’s apartment building winds up dead, and her neighbors turn to her fake detective agency for help after finding one of the phony business cards. With so many eyes on them—or maybe just their eyes on each other—Emersyn and Wyatt agree to take on the case. Now the question is, Can they solve the murder without getting tangled up in their own fictions—or each other?
“Fast-paced and quippy.”—Catherine Mack, USA Today bestselling author of Every Time I Go On Vacation, Someone Dies
Critic Reviews
“Definitely absolutely a wild ride, in the best possible way. If you liked Finlay Donovan, you’ll love Emersyn.”—Carlie Walker, author of Code Word Romance
“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
“Fox’s new romystery is sweet, funny, and a little sexy. Perfect for fans of Elle Cosimano’s Finlay Donovan books and Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series.”—Library Journal
“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
