About this ebook
A wild and wickedly funny series debut, introducing readers to the irresistible and irrepressible private investigator, Peter Key.
"Everything you want in a great mystery."—Steven Rowley
"Peter Key is my new favorite amateur sleuth."—Elle Cosimano
Meet Peter Key: self-proclaimed “laziest private investigator in Texas” (it’s harder than it looks), unapologetic bisexual, dedicated stoner, and the surprised recipient of a windfall inheritance from an uncle he barely knew. Peter’s life was a mess before, but now— as the owner of a dilapidated house in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Austin—he has a mountain of debt to deal with and pressure to sell from every side.
But Peter doesn’t like to be pushed around. And when he discovers a bag full of cash, he starts to suspect his uncle’s death wasn’t an accident. He soon finds himself pulled into a lethal game where not everybody plays by the rules.
Fortunately, Peter’s never been good at following rules.
Sexy, suspenseful, and packed with Austin’s quirks, Killer Vibes is a wild and wickedly funny romp that introduces us to the irresistible and irrepressible PI, Peter Key.

Bisexual stoner Peter unexpectedly inherits a dilapidated house in a prime Austin neighborhood. His life takes a dangerous turn when he discovers a bag of cash and evidence suggesting his uncle's death was not accidental. This suspense novel is humorous and entertaining, with quirky characters and a tense plot. It should appeal to fans of Finlay Donovan and the Thursday Murder Club. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
