Definitely Maybe Not a Detective by Sarah Fox (Jan 6, 2026) Thank you, @prhaudio for the free audiobook! #prhaudioinfluencer
Emersyn Gray is stressed. She’s unemployed. Her ex stole all of her savings. She’s raising her late brother’s tween daughter while missing him desperately. She has no dating life and lives in an apartment complex dedicated to senior citizens. She’s twenty-eight. But her best friend has plans for one problem – getting her savings back. She has private investigator business cards printed for a fictitious PI firm (called Wyatt Investigations) so Emersyn can use a card to scare her ex. But when she confronts her ex, a super hot stranger who claims his name is Wyatt steps in as the investigator. Quickly things spiral out of control. Enersyn’s building manager turns up dead and the senior residents, having seen the business cards, what her and Wyatt to investigate. Now, on top of everything else, she’s a fake PI dealing with feelings for a stranger she knows nothing about while trying to save her elderly neighbors from being convicted of murd@r.
What a wildly fun, incredibly clever and entertaining book! It is fun, funny, has a great mystery at it’s core. There are chaotic shenanigans, deeply caring friends and found family, complex feelings of loss, secret rooms, and hidden motives. I love how much Emersyn’s niece, the grand-daughter of some residents, and her best friend are so tightly bound to Emersyn. I ate it up!
🎧 Audiobook Thoughts: Jesse Vilinsky has narrated some of my favorites this year and this one is among them – voicing tweens, twenty-somethings, men, women, senior citizens – there was a lot of lift in this book and the audio performance was fantastic! (10h 55m)
