Description

Unemployed ex-party girl Angela Cray is back living with her no-nonsense mother in Phoenix. After coming within air-kissing distance of a felony charge, Angela is determined to make something of her life. When a sympathetic neighbor offers her work, Angela jumps at the opportunity. She figures it won't be hard to track down a missing fiancé last seen with two Lady Gaga lookalikes. After all, one of her superpowers is finding badly behaved men.

But the trail of the runaway groom has more twists than a bride's updo. And when Angela uncovers secrets that people will kill to keep hidden, she has to decide the price she's willing to pay for success.

Angela will need to call upon all her charm and cunning--and the deities of her ancient Samoan ancestors--to make sure this professional growth opportunity doesn't kill her first.

ANGELA CRAY GETS REAL was a finalist for a Freddie Award for Writing Excellence from the Florida Chapter of the Mystery Writers of America.

About the Author
A native of Chicago, Dara Carr grew up wanting to be a professional figure skater and Glinda the Good Witch. Sadly, she didn't succeed on either count. Luckily, she's been able to pursue a life path where good knees and sorcery aren't strictly necessary. She currently lives in the Washington, DC area. By day, she works on policy issues related to global health. Evenings and weekends, she looks for amusing new ways to torment her characters. You can find her and the occasional tumbleweed at www.daracarr.com.
Reviews

"Dara Carr's Angela Cray Gets Real is a mystery with a decidedly unconventional detective: Angela Cray is broke, living with her mother, desperately in need of a job, and entirely lacking in detective experience. Her story of venturing into this new line of work is stylish, absorbing, and laugh-out-loud funny."--Rebecca Hussey for Foreword Clarion Reviews

"Verdict: ANGELA CRAY GETS REAL is gleefully sardonic and wonderfully convoluted and as hilarious a mystery novel as you are likely to find anywhere."--Chaz Baker for IndieReader
