Glad One is a hilarious, no-murder cozy mystery about a broke middle-aged woman who must find the true heir of her best friend’s will before it falls into the wrong hands. Perfect for readers who enjoy quirky, flawed characters and gonzo situational humor similar to that of Janet Evanovich, Jana DeLeon, & Helen Fielding.
Sometimes All You Need is A Friend … Even if They Might be Just a Little Bit Crazy.
Duped out of her life savings in Germany, 45-year-old Val Fremden retreats home to Florida with more than just her pride in tatters. Broke, divorced, and virtually unemployable, starting over is going to be tough enough. But when her only friend suddenly turns up dead, Val begins to seriously wonder if the world is out to get her. Maybe it is … maybe it isn't.
The sugar-white sands of Sunset Beach attract weirdos like mosquitoes to a bug zapper. So when the will of Val’s friend makes the local newspaper, crackpots and con artists stumble from their beach shacks to claim a piece of the leftover pie.
Determined to find her friend’s true heir, Val reluctantly turns to three oddballs for help—a boozehound, a redneck, and a snarky beach bum. Working at odds with each other, their bumbling investigation attracts the attention of a hot cop. He quickly gets into the fray and under Val’s skin. Whether it’s in a good way or bad only time will tell. Because sometimes, it’s not until you reach the bottom of the barrel that you find out who your true friends are.
