Welcome to the Azur Regent February brings calm and quiet to the Azur Regent. But for a sleep deprived Percy James, she could do with a little more excitement. Or a night’s sleep. A full night’s sleep would really help. With her baby niece sick and her sister losing her mind over the baby’s first cold, Percy starts to feel like a walking zombie. She even starts imagining things with one of the few guests staying at the hotel. Percy prides herself on her cheerful work ethic. Seeing suspicious things where none exist proves she needs more than makeup to cover the circles under her eyes. Fortunately, working at a hotel comes with perks. A night of uninterrupted, undisturbed sleep will put Percy back to rights. Except nothing at the Azur Regent is ever that simple. Even a night’s sleep. keywords: Amateur Sleuths, Mystery, Contemporary Mystery, Cozy Mystery, Soft-Boiled Mystery, Crime Fiction, Amateur Sleuths Mysteries, New York Hotel Mystery, Mystery Thriller and Suspense, female protagonist, Urban Mystery, mystery and suspense, crime and embezzlement fiction

Tending bar couldn’t prepare her for an adventure through the universe. Who knew? When someone walks through Sophie’s bathroom wall, the hardworking bartender is understandably confused. First, because someone walked through the seemingly solid wall of her bathroom. And second, because that someone is small and green, smells weirdly like peppermint, and says his name is Gerald. He also claims she needs to save his world. Sophie does not consider herself the world-saving type. In fact, she would argue she is the least qualified world-saving person to ever be offered the opportunity to save a world. But fate has a twisted sense of humor. Bravery rises at the strangest times, in the strangest places, though. So maybe a plucky bartender from Las Vegas really can save the world. Or at least not die trying.
