The first book in the Jax of All Trade cozy mystery series.

Lou Carsley knows what they like. A job well done and a nice cold beer after that job. The once a week meetings with the queer book club they founded with their best friend, Cordelia. Their family…in small doses. Seeing the chance to expand their business, Jax of All Trade. What they don’t like can be narrowed down more: bills, bullies, and oh yeah, stumbling over a dead body while on a job. Brenten Olver may have made an art form of bullying even beyond high school, but that didn’t mean he’d deserved to have his head bashed in.
Lou is the first one Coalville police officer Matthias Lindert seems to look to when the body turns up. Not only were they the one to discover the body, but everyone knows about the argument the two of them had right there for all to see on Main Street.
Lou needs to prove their innocence if they’re going to get him off their back. They’d much rather have him on his back. But, at best, he seems indifferent to them. Of course, at worst, he thinks they’re a killer. So, maybe the indifference isn’t so bad.
And when a second body turns up, Lou realizes it’s not only their innocence they need to worry about. But just who might be next.
