detective murder mystery quirky

Richard Steel was a misunderstood man who spent his life catching murderers, falling over, and avoiding all kinds of women to the best of his ability. He was awkward, clumsy and uptight – hard to get along with, apparently. He simply didn’t understand people, and people didn’t understand him.

Clare Brent was Richard's complete opposite - a confident, cheerful, and extremely giggly woman creature. She was up for taking risks, breaking rules and just being a little bit naughty.

Usually, this kind of woman would be Richard’s worst nightmare – but Clare was different. She seemed to understand Richard and his rather strange ways, and didn’t bully him about it like everyone else.

Richard finds himself spending all of his time with this strange woman creature, slowly learning how to be normal, whilst doing things he’d never do before. 

He smiles, cuddles… and investigates a murder case behind his boss’ back. Oops.

Together, they stumble into all kinds of mischief.All Rights Reserved

Truth or Dare? by ScarletWinter2478

Bucky met Nicole at a bar. Neither of them were looking for love. Neither of them wanted a relationship. What they got from each other was that, and a whole lot more. Nicole Wilson was feisty, foul-mouthed and fiercely good at her job as a Homicide Detective. But lately, things hadn't been going so well. A serial killer was making her and her whole department look painfully inept. The bodies were piling up and instead of total commitment to solving the case, she found herself seeking comfort in the arms of Bucky Barnes, without a doubt, the most beautiful man she had ever met. He was supportive, attentive and infinitely satisfying. No matter how bad her workday had been, their nights made everything seem better. When Bucky suggested an unusual suspect as the killer and things started going terribly wrong, Nicole had to draw on every ounce of her own strength to do the right thing. Thankfully, Bucky was looking out for her. He would do anything to keep her safe. ANYTHING.

Chp. 4 Preview: She was able to see what the paper had on it immediately after taking it from the shelf, and it made her heart immediately drop. Her blood sugar fell, and her face became pale, feeling dizzy. Her heart began racing as she saw me staring at her. The drawing she just found was a realistic depiction of myself smiling at the person who saw it. Unlike myself, who felt joy and inspiration from seeing father draw me this, mother was scared witless. Her legs became jelly, her body was paralyzed. All she could do was stare at the drawing, knowing that no one could have drawn this except an adult. And she knew I did not talk to any adults- or did I? Now she couldn't be too sure. This picture was from someone who knew how I looked, even getting the dimples on my cheeks and small birthmark on the side of my neck. It was someone that had to know me very well.

Due to her looks, she often gets sexist remarks from her colleagues, seen only as an object of praise and beauty rather than a fellow detective. Annoyed and frustrated, she goes to an old friend for help and assistance, asking for a partner who doesn't care about her looks and has the brains to work with her, to which she learns that there is a person who could help her, the problem lays in the fact that, that person is the very same man who Grace knew and hated in high school, Basil M. House. Will Grace continue to hate his guts? Is Basil the same man whom Grace knew in High school? And will their relationship change? This is a reimagining of Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Besides being a reimagining, it's also a composite of different mystery stories and movies that I loved, so don't be surprised if some of the cases or puzzles look familiar.
