Emily Quinn lives in a lavish Art Deco flat in Kensington. She is one of the greatest detectives in London. But she herself is also a mystery. By her cases like the murder on the building site or the strange case of the dead speculator, she is accompanied by the adventurous Chief Inspector Aden Chuan of Scotland Yard, her secretary the dreamy Gwen Wright, her butler Johann Bunt, and the harsh Forensic pathologist Emma Price.
But while Quinn has genius ideas, sometimes it seems as if the great detective was, in reality, nothing more but a maniac. So who is the real Emily Quinn? And why does she want the hooker Chander Sterling to sleep on her couch?

Look but Don't Choke
After Evie Harper spends the day pining after her unrequited childhood crush, Harley, she drowns her sorrows in a bottle of stolen wine. But the next day, and one glorious hangover later, Harley is found with a very naked-very strangled stripper in his bed. Naturally the police assume that it's some kind of erotic play gone terribly wrong, but Harley swears that he left her alive and "orgasmically" happy when he went on the ill fated booze and condom run. And Evie knows Harley isn't a violent man. When the Chos ask her to investigate the murder, and possibly clear their son's name, she reluctantly agrees. But as Evie digs deeper into the dead woman's life she discovers that the exotic dancer had quite the past; one that involved drugs, prostitution, and gangs. Who knew the life of a stripper could get so dirty? Evie Harper Mysteries: Book 2Complete
