The Astonishing Mistakes of Dahlia Moss
Max Wirestone
(Author)
Description
Veronica Mars meets the World of Warcraft in The Astonishing Mistakes of Dahlia Moss, a mystery romp with a most unexpected heroine. You'd think that after I took a bullet in my arm following my last case, that I'd be timid about going in guns blazing a second time. But you'd be wrong. I faced down death, and the only bad thing that happened was that I got a cool scar. Which is a like a tattoo, but with street cred. I may have been a little overconfident this time. Like, Leeroy Jenkins overconfident. Some small, but confidently made, errors committed in this book include:- Unwisely meeting up with an internet stalker in real life.
- Eating a large breakfast before discovering a corpse
- Kidnapping
- Standing uncomfortably close to the edge of a steamboat while musing that nothing bad could possibly happen
- Kidnapping, again
