“This novel succeeds through memorable characters at odds with each other (and sometimes themselves) across generational divides. A solidly entertaining read, especially for lovers of traditional mysteries."—Kirkus Reviews

"A traditional mystery full of quirky characters and humorous situations... The ending may be totally surprising as Aubrey delivers quite the denouement in the tradition of Agatha Christie."
—FirstClue

"This is a classic wealthy-family whodunit centered on a funny and smart pair of women who are opposites in just about every way. Readers will love spending time with this investigatory duo."

ABOUT THE WORLD'S GREATEST DETECTIVE AND HER JUST OK ASSISTANT:

Tully combines the humorous cross-generational workplace antics of Hacks with the enigmatic familial dysfunction of Knives Out in this uniquely clever, twisty murder mystery. 

The novel is laugh-out-loud funny, with a protagonist in Olivia Blunt who is at once quirky and relatable as she juggles bold career aspirations with “real life.”

 

Olivia doesn’t want to be an assistant detective for the rest of her life, and after weeks of admin work, investigator Aubrey Merritt, renowned as much for her professional prowess as her breezy, pragmatic attitude, finally agrees to bring Olivia along on her new case.

Victoria Summersworth, a wealthy, healthy, happy woman, fell to her death on the evening of her sixty-fifth birthday party, and the police have ruled it a suicide—but Victoria’s daughter thinks it was murder.

Olivia realizes she might be in over her head with this whole detective thing, but she’s resolved to prove her investigative skills to her boss.

Still, Summersworth family drama is complicated, to say the least, and Olivia quickly realizes she’s unraveling a mystery far more complicated than anyone anticipated.
