    About this series

    An amateur PI. A town full of secrets. Can she uncover the truth before another body drops?

    Janet Black is a hardworking bar owner determined to make her own way in the world. But when one of her regulars learns of a suspicious death in the family, she'll have to put her business on hold to solve the crime. While local police chalk up the cause of death to an accidental overdose, Janet's investigative intuition suspects more is at stake. But without an official PI license, she'll need to grab clues quick before she's caught.

    When Janet discovers the victim has ties to a drug dealer and a hired escort, she worries she's in over her head. Especially when her prime suspect turns up dead. Can she protect the innocent and find the real killer before she becomes the next victim?

    Last Minute is the second standalone book in the heart-pounding Janet Black Mystery Series. If you like fast-paced suspense, blue-collar heroines, and stunning plot twists, then you'll love Libby Kirsch's maverick saga of suspense.

      For fans of Janet Evanovich! Last Call is what you'd get if Stephanie Plum owned a bar and loved to swear. A Dumpster, a body, and a killer on the run. Unfazed after finding a body behind the Dumpster of her bar, Janet Black is ready for business as usual until police start eyeing her boyfriend as the possible killer. When the victim's teetotaling daughter decides to take up residence in the corner booth until the murderer is caught, Janet is forced to get involved. She'd rather be dealing with unruly customers, but instead Janet reluctantly mounts her own investigation to find out if the dead man's complicated past could have anything to do with his death, whether an unreliable employee's absence is mere coincidence, and why police are purposefully feeding her bad information about the case. Janet's sharp tongue and coarse personality make her the guilty pleasure heroine you've always wanted. Get lost in Last Call today.
