Dahlia Moss Mysteries

“Veronica Mars” meets the “World of Warcraft” in “The Unfortunate Decisions of Dahlia Moss”, a mystery romp with a most unexpected heroine. If it were up to me this book would be called “Hilarious Things That Happened That Were Not at All Dahlia's Fault-or HTTHTWNAADF, for short.” OK, I probably shouldn't have taken money from a mysterious eccentric to solve a theft, given that I'm not a detective, and that I am sometimes outwitted by puzzles in children's video games. I probably shouldn't have stolen bags of trash from a potential murder suspect. Arguably-just arguably, mind you-it may have been unwise to cos-play at an event where I was likely to be shot at. But sometimes you just have to take some chances, right? And maybe things do get a little unfortunate. What of it? If you ask me, an unfortunate decision here or there can change your life. In a positive way, just so long you don't killed in the process. Admittedly, that's the tricky bit.

“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 That's the thing about a sense of invulnerability, you usually get it right before things go terribly, terribly, wrong.
