The Fourth Redemption Detective Agency Mystery
The Redemption Detective Agency is not your normal detective agency. While Emily Hildebrandt has been using her office management skills in an attempt to bring a modicum of organization and sanity to the office, she hasn't been entirely successful. Her Aunt Tilde runs it more like a hobby than a business, rarely even accepting payment. And neither Tilde, nor her friends Mildred and Nora, are licensed private investigators. That's why Emily is filling our a job application for the school district, although she hasn't been successful in completing that either. When the phone rings with a new case it seems fairly straight forward. Tilde and Mildred's old friend Amelia Clark has been on a cruise and is worried that her niece, Brandy, hasn't been watering her rose bushes. So Emily and the others drive to Meli's house only to find it isn't there. Instead there's a country club and spa! Only in Redemption could a house disappear. With a missing house and a missing niece will the Redemption Detective Agency be able to discover what happened?
Once again oddness and zaniness ensues in Redemption, Wisconsin. That being said, the impossible and wacky are treated with logic, mostly, and respect, and it turns out a missing house isn't such an oddity after all. THE MYSTERIOUS CASE OF THE MISSING HOUSE is the fourth book in the series and you need not have read the previous books to enjoy this one. I should warn you, however. Jerome is a jerk! It doesn't really show too much in this book, but trust me. Knowing that makes certain things more understandable. I feel for Emily, love Nick, and think Tilde and Mildred are a hoot! I'd certainly want these guys on my side if I was in trouble.
Funny, but still showing a considerable amount of depth, THE MYSTERIOUS CASE OF THE MISSING HOUSE will make you laugh while taking an honest look at family and relationships while proving the seemingly impossible just might be possible after all.

Emily has a big decision in front of her. But before she can make it, Amelia Clark, one of Aunt Tilde's friends call The Redemption Detective Agency with an emergency. Apparently Amelia can't get a hold of her niece, who's been house sitting, and she's worried that her niece forgot to water her rose bushes. Should be fairly straight forward, right? Drive to the house, see if the niece is there, and make sure the roses aren't dead as well. Except...the house is no longer there. It's now a fancy health club. Nor is the niece. Needless to say, Emily has no choice but to figure out what happened to Amelia's house and her niece before she makes any decisions about her career. Or her love life. A spin-off from the Charlie Kingsley Mystery series! The Redemption Detective Agency is a funny, twisty, romcom cozy mystery series set in the 1990s featuring silver sleuths solving cold cases, cats, dogs and an opposites attract love triangle. Great for fans of the Thursday Murder Club.
About Michele Pariza Wacek
A USA Today Bestselling, award-winning author, Michele taught herself to read at 3 years old because she wanted to write stories so badly. It took some time (and some detours) but she does spend much of her time writing stories now. Mystery stories, to be exact. They’re clean and twisty, and range from psychological thrillers to cozies, with a dash of romance and supernatural thrown into the mix. If that wasn’t enough, she posts lots of fun things on her blog, including short stories, puzzles, recipes, and more, at MPWNovels.com. Michele grew up in Wisconsin (hence why all her books take place there), and still visits regularly, but she herself escaped the cold and now lives in the mountains of Prescott, Arizona, with her husband and southern squirrel hunter Cassie. When she’s not writing, she’s usually reading, hanging out with her dog, or watching the Food Network and imagining she’s an awesome cook. (Spoiler alert, she’s not. Luckily for the whole family, Mr. PW is in charge of the cooking.)
