The After Hours Deception | Masquerade Inc. Cozy Mysteries #1

Deception and death have never been so lucrative…

New career. New skills. New dead body. What could possibly go wrong?

At twenty-eight, Petal Morgan thought she'd have her life figured out by now.

Instead, she's living in the garage apartment at her parents' house, buried under student loans and debt from a failed business venture, and still wondering what she wants to be when she grows up.

Not exactly the glamorous future she'd imagined.

But when a chance encounter with an old friend introduces her to an unexpected job in a profession she didn't even know existed, Petal discovers she might have a talent for something after all.

Deception.

And as it turns out, she's rather good at it.

Unfortunately, her promising new career comes with an unexpected complication.

A dead body.

Suddenly, Petal is navigating a world of secrets, lies, and murder, where appearances can be deceiving and figuring out who's telling the truth might be the most important skill of all.

Could this unusual career finally be Petal's ticket to independence? Or has she gotten herself into something far more dangerous than student debt?

Clever disguises, dangerous secrets, unexpected opportunities, and murder!
