Baroness Sells Books - UPDATE

My mystery novel, Baroness Sells Books: A Tom Lingquist Mystery is only available  at Amazon.com. I'm halfway through the next book featuring Tom Lingquist. I'll say one thing about it: if your favorite parts of Baroness Sells Books was all the little details about Tom's job at the Persephone29 multiplex, there's more of that in this next one. If your favorite part of that book was the twists and turns that connected a silly romance novel to the deaths of three people, there's more of that in the next book, too. If your favorite part of Baroness Sells Books were my descriptions of the various attractive women Tom Lingquist encounters in the book, there's more of that, too. If your favorite part of Baroness Sells Books is Tom Lingquist as a detective, well, there's more of him, too. If your favorite part of Baroness Sells Books is that it was about the same length as a Goosebumps book, well...this next one might be a little longer. If your favorite part of Baroness Sells Books were my covers, I've got something in mind for this next one, too.

And if your favorite part of Baroness Sells Books is that it was available only at Amazon and the ebook is FREE if you're a Kindle Unlimited subscriber? The next book will be there, too.

Baroness Sells Books: A Tom Lingquist Mystery by Joseph Adorno

My private eye novel, Baroness Sells Books: A Tom Lingquist Mystery is available to purchase at Amazon in 3 formats: Hardcover, Paperback and Ebook on Kindle. Kindle subscribers can read the Ebook for free.

The Plot:

Baroness Holly is a self-described wallflower who decides to throw caution to the wind and sow her wild oats with some of her co-workers at a movie theater. She is a fictional character in a novel written by the late first-time author Adrian Hernandez, who may have taken inspiration from one of his co-workers, and whose sudden death from a Fentanyl overdose has put a halt on chronicling Baroness Holly's further misadventures.

When Adrian's heartbroken mother refuses to believe her son was a drug addict, her lawyer enlists private eye Tom Lingquist to investigate. Lingquist has some surprises of his own, as he's one of Adrian's co-workers at his job - a movie theater!

Lingquist didn't expect a mystery to be included with taking a part-time job, but he'll accept the challenge and solve the puzzle: who would murder an unknown author, all because a character like Baroness sells books?

 Those among you who have read my blog posts over the years, particularly the posts in the past that dabbled with short fiction, will enjoy getting a larger dose of my writing ability, as I juggle a cast of characters, twists and turns. There's a clever detective, attractive women, sleazy men, workplace humor, drugs, deductive reasoning, clues, a cat, a Fiat, cartoon character references, some "What was he thinking when he wrote this?" moments..and more.

 As for that cover with the attractive girl, that's the cover image to Baroness Holly, the book that poor Adrian Hernandez thought would be a good idea to write up.

  Baroness Sells Books: A Tom Lingquist Mystery (aka, Book 1 of The Tom Lingquist Mysteries) is available only at Amazon  (type "Joseph Adorno" in the search and the ebook cover comes up first, with links to the hardcover and paperback in the "available in other formats" section; when I tried typing a direct link, it didn't work when I tested it, so I didn't want to roll the dice on that).

Happy reading!
