Amelia Fantastica Misadventures Collection: Books 1-3
(2019)(A book in the Amelia Fantastica Misadventure series)
An omnibus of novels by Anne Avery
Join Maxie and Amelia in a romp through the first three Amelia Fantastica Misadventures, All I Got Was the Headache, If Two Are Dead, and Mad Maxie.
If you haven't met the dynamic duo, you're in for a wild ride!
Maxine "Maxie" Peterson had just turned eighteen and life was looking good when a fairy godmother she didn't know existed, one Amelia Pomeroy Fitzgerald Fantastica, abruptly dropped into her life. Literally.
Life, for Maxie, has never been the same since.
Amelia has rotten taste in clothes, a fondness for single malt scotch, and an annoying penchant for meddling where she's not wanted. As far as Maxie's concerned, her fairy godmother's "assistance" isn't wanted anywhere, at any time, for any reason whatsoever. Unfortunately for Maxie, when it comes to heeding hints (not to mention demands and outright threats), Amelia has the hide of a rhinoceros - nothing gets through!
Now Maxie is all grown up and running her own private investigations agency. The job is hard enough without Amelia meddling in the mix, but add in a hunky homicide detective named Ben Trueblood and a bunch of dead bodies, and life just got a whole lot more interesting!
All I Got Was the Headache
Maxie is the owner and sole employee of Maxie Peterson Investigations. When she discovers her newest, richest, and (sadly) only client dead on her office floor with her letter opener through his heart, she isn't surprised to find Amelia's already on the job - Amelia can always be counted on to be in the middle of things, making them worse. What Maxie isn't prepared for is the hunky new detective in charge of the case.
Ben Trueblood is as hard-nosed as Maxie, and just as determined to find the killer, but he's got a major advantage - he doesn't have a fairy godmother making a mess of everything before he even gets started!
If Two Are Dead
Maxie Peterson has standards. Low, admittedly - with the state of her bank account, she can't afford otherwise - but she does have them! That's why, when an elderly lady totters through her office door, Maxie is fully prepared to say no to finding a lost cat, or proving a neighbor broke a favorite tea cup, or whatever it is an elderly lady is likely to ask. What she's not prepared for is a demand that she investigate a murder, instead!
Mad Maxie
Maxie is a tough, independent-minded private investigations agent who can stand up to just about anyone...except her mom. Now her mom has dispatched her to check on a friend's twelve-year-old daughter. She didn't tell Maxie the kid came equipped with a dog the size of a horse and an attitude big enough to sink the Titanic. She also didn't warn her about the international jewel thieves who won't hesitate to kill anyone who gets in their way, including Maxie and the kid! When the kid disappears leaving Maxie stuck with the dog and her wand-waving, disaster-happy fairy godmother Amelia, Maxie gets mad. Now it's look out, world! because when Maxie gets mad, she'll run right over anyone who tries to stop her, even hunky homicide detective Ben Trueblood, who really ought to know better by now!
