USA Today bestselling author Abbi Waxman is back this summer with an action packed, irreverent follow up to her graceful leap into feel-good mystery.
Perfect for readers of Elle Cosimano’s Finlay Donovan series and Deanna Raybourn’s Kills Well with Others, DEADLY DOES IT delivers a clever mystery helmed by a misfit pair of amateur sleuths and once again tackles the subject of sobriety with care.
PRAISE FOR DEADLY DOES IT:
“Abbi Waxman is both irreverent and thoughtful.”—#1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Giffin
“The writing is crisp, funny, and the story has a fun set of quirky characters, some of whom steal the spotlight. Abbi Waxman never disappoints with her novels.”—Red Carpet Crash
“The clever dialogue stands out, and the insight into a recovering alcoholic’s life is compelling. …A lively mystery with sharp characters that will appeal to fans of Elle Cosimano, Catherine Mack, and Benjamin Stevenson.”—Booklist
“Witty…. Waxman smoothly entwines her personal and professional story lines, deepening Mason and Mann’s relationship without sacrificing momentum in the core investigation. Reliably clever dialogue is a bonus.”—Publishers Weekly
“The banter among Julia, Mason, Will, Archie, Claudia, and Teddy is pure gold, worthy of Shakespeare’s mechanicals. When justice is finally served, you’ll want to cheer.”—Kirkus Reviews

ABOUT DEADLY DOES IT:
With her signature indelible dry wit, and knack for writing relatable heroines, Waxman delivered her first twisty mystery last spring with One Death at a Time. People Magazine raved, "Staying sober and getting along while trying to nab a killer is no picnic, but this amateur detective duo pulls it off with wit, style and plenty of laughs." Waxman even nabbed her first Edgar Award nomination for ‘Best Paperback Original.’
For those of you who are new to the series, let us introduce you to our unlikely sleuthing pair: two recovering alcoholics from two different generations, who have little in common but found each other at an AA meeting. Julia Mann is a bad-tempered ex-actress, ex-con, lawyer, professional thorn in the side of authority. Natasha Mason is a college dropout, Gen Z adrenaline junkie. Together, they are unstoppable.
Mason and Man have already solved one murder together, and united by their commitment to sarcasm and general disappointment with the human race, they now face a second crime that’s way too close to home. Mason’s AA sponsor, Alexa Rousso, keeps finding herself at the center of freak accidents. Is it all a coincidence? Or could her unsavory past be coming back to haunt her?
From the Bay Area to the hippest spots in Los Angeles, Mason and Mann track down leads with the help of their ragtag investigating crew. Will they solve the mystery before the criminal’s sights settle on the detectives themselves, or will this new challenge also be their last?

MORE ABOUT DEADLY DOES IT:
When Natasha Mason’s AA sponsor is in deadly danger, she turns to the cranky yet brilliant Julia Mann for help, in this exciting new mystery novel from the USA Today bestselling author of One Death at a Time.
Mason, a Gen Z adrenaline junkie, and Mann, an ex-con, ex-actress, and lawyer turned sleuth, have already solved one murder together. United by their commitment to sarcasm and general disappointment with the human race, they now face a second crime that’s way too close to home. Alexa Rousso keeps having accidents, and no one but her thinks it’s a coincidence. Could her checkered past be coming back to get her? Mason and Mann’s investigation takes them to the Bay Area, to the Central Coast, and – of course – to the hippest spots in Los Angeles. Will the Berkeley boho vibe convert Mann from vintage couture? Will the wine snobs of Ojai drive Mason to drink (or to vinicide, which isn’t even a thing)? More importantly, will they solve the mystery before the murderer’s sights settle on the detectives themselves, or will this new challenge also be their last?
