Accidental sleuth, Mata Morrow, and her savvy book group lean in to solve mysteries in and around the Pacific Northwest. Based in Portland, Oregon but taking entrepreneurial adventuring on the road from Berlin to Barcelona to Hanapepe when friends and family are threatened, the group provides the sleuthing necessary for justice and retribution. While the literature they dissect often provides a parallel of discovery, it is their friendships and bad-assed skills that result in proper endings. Mata's move to Portland plants the seeds of her MmPorium line in Oregon's fertile ground for creatives. A fashion-forward lesbian creating a much-needed line of versatile travel wear, Mata kickstarted a social network in her new hometown, and used MeetUp to launch a women-only book group that bonds over the diverse work of women authors. Friendships are forced to grow quickly when presented with abductions and murder. Where surprise partnerships are formed and alliances made, strange bedfellows are sure to follow. Join Mata and her moxie band of book lovers as they parse literature and crimes rooted in the dark drivers of human nature. Especially recommended for the lit-loving.
