  • Agatha Award Nominated Series
  • THE MOST LOVABLE OCD PI SINCE ADRIAN MONK..."A must-read mystery with a sassy sleuth, a Wonderland of quirky characters, and a fabulous island setting that will keep you turning pages." – Riley Adams, Author of the Memphis Barbecue MysteriesElliot Lisbon blends her directorship of the Ballantyne Foundation with her PI-in-Training status by planning parties and performing discreet inquiries for charitable patrons. But when the annual Wonderland Tea Party makes everyone go mad as a hatter, Elli gets pulled into a shooting, a swindle, and the hunt for a Faberge egg. From seedy pawn parlors to creepy antique shops, Sea Pine Island's other half proves to be as wacky as the wealthy. As Elli falls farther down the rabbit hole, she finds a scheming salesman, a possessive paramour, a dead donor—in fact, the only thing missing is a bottle labeled "Drink Me." As events evolve from curious to crazy, Elli gets lost in the maze and finds herself trapped in a house of cards with a killer. Praise for WHACK JOB:"Elli Lisbon is proving herself to be the most lovable OCD PI since Adrian Monk." – Maddy Hunter, Agatha-Nominated Author of the Passport to Peril Series"A must-read mystery with a sassy sleuth, a Wonderland of quirky characters, and a fabulous island setting that will keep you turning pages." – Riley Adams, Author of the Memphis Barbecue Mysteries"A great second entry in this delightfully amusing cozy mystery series. Elli is smart and level-headed as she deals with some pretty wacky characters who would test anyone's sanity. The mystery is well-conceived and keeps readers' attention until Elli can solve the case." – Fresh Fiction"Step inside the pages of this wonderfully executed story as a very gutsy and determined Elliott earns some hours towards her PI license...Nick Ransom and the people in Elli's circle are back in their own unique way to contribute to the freshness of this delightfully entertaining whodunit." – Dru's Book Musings"Huzzuh! Elliott Lisbon is back...Lynn has written a delightful romp and you'll never want it to end. I enjoyed Board Stiff, but Lynn has shown us that her Elliott Lisbon series is just going to get better and I can't wait for the next installment." – Literary, etc."Opens with hysterical mad cap scene that grabs your attention and doesn't let go until the end...romance, adventure, a great mystery puzzle and lots of laughs in Whack Job. I strongly recommend putting this book on your summer reading list. Five Stars out of five." – Lynn Farris, National Mystery Review Examiner at Examiner.com"I found this totally enjoyable to read and can't wait to hear from Ms. Lynn and the further adventures of Elliott. Highly recommended. Five stars." – Open Book Society"Easily and by far one of my favorite books of 2014 and certainly a contender for a spot on the ever-more-crowded bookshelf." – The Girl with Book LungsBooks in the Elliott Lisbon Humorous Mystery Series:SWITCH BACK (prequel novella in OTHER PEOPLE'S BAGGAGE)BOARD STIFF (#1)WHACK JOB (#2) SWAN DIVE (#3) (April 2015)Part of the Henery Press Mystery Series Collection, if you like one, you'll probably like them all...Author Bio: Kendel Lynn is a Southern California native who now parks her flip-flops in Dallas, Texas.
