Overview

There is no roadmap for starting over. Her mother's sudden death was the first crack in 42-year-old Kenora Tedesco's world. When her philandering husband dumped her, her tidy suburban life was upended. Things went from bad to worse when she was fired for insubordination. When an eleventh-hour interview lands her a job as a private investigator, Kenora figures that's the end of her troubles. Not so. Rookie mistakes threaten to derail her new career and put her budding relationship with retired police commander Jake Barclay-her boss-at risk. She's stalked by a lovesick embezzler, trapped in a storage locker, and declared dead by a drugstore pharmacist. Kenora learns, through trial and error, what she must do to succeed: play by company rules, ditch the fear, learn to trust, and don't look back. Kenora Reinvented is a fast-paced coming of middle-age novel featuring investigations, mystery and second-chance romance. This suspenseful page-turner showcases a diverse cast of strong female and male protagonists working through life, career and relationship issues. The supporting characters are villainous, quirky or just plain out-to-lunch With witty dialogue, plot twists and turns and hooks in every chapter's opening and closing scenes, this intelligent contemporary novel propels readers into a binge-worthy whodunit that will keep them engaged until the last page.
