  • Michele PW (Pariza Wacek) takes us back to the 1990s in her Redemption Detective Agency series.
    2025/03/25

    Michele PW (Pariza Wacek) joins us to discuss her cozy mystery series, The Redemption Detective Agency. This is a spin-off series from The Charlie Kingsley Mystery Series and includes several animal characters.

    When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Or maybe a gin and tonic.

    Emily Hildebrandt has run into a bit of a rough patch. She's lost her job, her fiance and her apartment. Still, she never expected to be desperate enough to accept an invitation to live with her eccentric Aunt Tilde in Redemption, Wisconsin.

    But, beggars can't be choosers. Even if part of the deal is she has to pretend to work at her aunt's latest hare-brained scheme, The Redemption Detective Agency. Seriously, the woman is a retired nurse. Why does she think she's remotely qualified to run a detective agency, especially in a creepy little town like Redemption? But, when a strange phone call suddenly thrusts them into an actual case, Emily finds herself hoping her aunt really does know what she's doing ... or an innocent person may be the one to suffer the consequences.
