BOOK ONE IN THE MUSIC MYSTERY SERIES:
Bawdy, brainy, and uncouth, If I Didn’t Care follows the adventures of Rue Brennan in a throwback to both the ‘90s and old detective stories. Living in a tiny studio apartment in the Lower East Side of Manhattan and piecing together odd jobs as a freelance journalist and part-time figure model, her boyfriend, Spencer, thinks she can do better. Spencer Hargrove is all about appearances and is about to unveil a new product created by his up-and-coming startup, SpencerTech, at the height of the tech boom, a move that will put him head-to-head with his chief competitor, B. A. Ellis Industries.

Spenser convinces Rue to take a job as an administrative assistant working for Cyber Forensic Consultant and Private Investigator Darwin Fennec, believing it to be a career more befitting a woman of her stage in life.

In the meantime, her hyperactive upstairs neighbor Midge, prone to day drinking and saying whatever comes into her head, would rather see Rue ditch Spencer and spend her time with Darwin instead. Midge may get her wish, but not in the way she intended. In an unexpected twist of fate, Darwin and Rue find themselves attending the theater on the same night, each witnessing the murder of a stage actress. The only problem is, they both have become suspects, and each other’s alibis–ensuring they’ll have to spend more time together, after all, trying to clear each other’s names. All that, of course, is assuming that one of them isn’t guilty.

Along the way, Rue meets up with a slew of funny, irreverent, and endearing characters, such as Darwin’s key henchman, a getaway driver named Bristol, the gender-fluid tech savvy assistant, Monique/Monty, and an informant named Candice (who may or may not moonlight as an escort). On the opposing team? Police Detective Ortega, Forensic Scientist Penelope Washburn, and the rather awkward Officer Dennis. Among the suspects? A creepy artist named Jax, an art model named Emma, the Ellis family...the list goes on.

Smart, sassy, and full of nostalgic noir, If I Didn’t Care is a whip-smart mystery that keeps you laughing, guessing, and never sure who to trust.
