Lucy Hayes is approaching thirty, fresh out of rehab, and her new boyfriend is the prime suspect in her roommate’s sister’s slaying. On top of that, her sponsor’s spirit guides are warning her to “beware of green weasels,” and while in her care, her boyfriend’s standard poodle has been doused in glitter and had his toenails painted hot pink. Lucy could really use a drink—or at least a steady job—but will have to settle for solving a murder mystery instead.
The first in a series of quirky mysteries, WASP Nest follows Lucy as she lands in Portland, Maine, to live with two roommates she met in recovery. Beau is a flamboyantly gay Southern belle with a smart outfit, and quip, for every occasion, while Nathan, an adorable, well-to-do bad-boy preppy has a murdered sister in his past. Using detective skills honed from reading Nancy Drew mysteries, Lucy and Beau—well, mostly Lucy—delve into the mysterious, unsolved death of Nathan’s sister, which leads them from seedy strip joints to swanky yacht clubs to a literal white, upper-class WASP nest, where blue-blooded murder isn’t out of the question.
