And we can't forget this PW review of GRACE AND JO HAVE NEVER SOLVED A MURDER by @jessmeywrites.bsky.social, publishing on 10/13/26! šŸ”Ž "[R]eaders will be rewarded with a satisfying conclusion. Mey proves her chops on her first try."

The Publishers Weekly review for GRACE AND JO HAVE NEVER SOLVED A MURDER by Jess Mey: "In Meyā€™s affable debut, 30-year-old Grace Anderson leaves her Florida hometown to work as an assistant for renowned portraitist Garrett Baros in Philadelphia. One morning, she finds Garrettā€™s body slumped over his desk in a pool of his own vomit. The police suspect Garrett was poisoned the night before and clear Grace as a suspect. Shaken, Grace is considering returning to Florida when Garrettā€™s widow, philanthropist Jo Baros, knocks on her apartment door. Jo doesnā€™t trust the police will catch her husbandā€™s killer, so she offers Grace a job helping her to solve the murder. What follows is a funny, good-spirited whodunit that races through a string of suspects and undercover operations, as when Grace and Jo pretend to run a cleaning business and offer a complimentary service to local politician Mark King, who wrongfully accused Garrett of having an affair with his wife. Mey tastefully balances the plotā€™s comedic and serious moments, fleshing out the blossoming friendship between the two women along the way. Though the momentum occasionally flags, readers will be rewarded with a satisfying conclusion. Mey proves her chops on her first try."
