β¦ Synopsis
For fans of Janet Evanovich! Last Call is what you'd get if Stephanie Plum owned a bar and loved to swear.
A Dumpster, a body, and a killer on the run.
Unfazed after finding a body behind the Dumpster of her bar, Janet Black is ready for business as usual until police start eyeing her boyfriend as the possible killer. When the victim's teetotaling daughter decides to take up residence in the corner booth until the murderer is caught, Janet is forced to get involved.
She'd rather be dealing with unruly customers, but instead Janet reluctantly mounts her own investigation to find out if the dead man's complicated past could have anything to do with his death, whether an unreliable employee's absence is mere coincidence, and why police are purposefully feeding her bad information about the case.
Janet's sharp tongue and coarse personality make her the guilty pleasure heroine you've always wanted. Get lost in Last Call today.

Review
"Kirsch's witty whodunit includes plenty of red herrings and a long list of potential suspects with plausible reasons to commit murder...it's excellent escapist entertainment."
-Kirkus Reviews
"[An] appealing series launch [about] a strong-willed, good-hearted woman who isn't afraid to get her hands dirty."
-Publishers Weekly
"Kirsch has a knack for blending in the best and worst personalities, in order to really bring on the friction and chaotic elements necessary for a good murder mystery."
-Chick Lit Central
