About the BBDA

Murder. Mayhem. Tea?

When free-spirited Private Investigator Rose Kachel and her cranky client, Tim Bremington, team up to track down his cheating fiancée, things quickly spiral out of control.

Together, they discover murder, mayhem, family secrets, and some of the best donuts in the PNW.

Utter opposites, Rose and Tim must learn to trust one another before a family is torn apart, they kill one another, or the murderer finds them first.

Welcome to Portland, Oregon. Things are about to get weird.

About the Author

Mo Montgomery (she/her) is a neurodivergent (dyslexic) and disabled queer writer. The Bluebell Detective Agency is her first book in what she hopes will be an ongoing series. She resides in lovely Portland, Oregon, with her husband Will, their two cats/overlords, a plethora of half-dead houseplants (RIP), and a growing herd of dust bunnies. Mo’s been a newspaper reporter and a columnist, taught college business and marketing courses as an adjunct instructor, and currently works for a wildlife nonprofit in Oregon. Like Rose, she also has Ankylosing Spondylitis. Mo has been known to dance in her kitchen while eating, resulting in her nearly choking to death multiple times. She does not recommend you try it.
