The Court Reporter Always Gets the Last Word (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798335022026)

The Court Reporter Always Gets the Last Word is the first book in a cozy mystery series that follows Addie Henkey, court reporter, through thrilling episodes of solving mysteries. Join this cast of quirky characters on their wild ride through the bedlam of the legal world.

It's Halloween in Santa Monica, California, in 1996. Attorney Larceny is scamming Medi-Cal and getting away with it-until Addie starts reporting his depositions. Follow her as she discovers hidden clues, escapes a fiery car crash, unmasks the Lone Ranger, faces down a pair of alligators, and more.

Addie is a fun-loving, spirited gal who loves her life; her family and friends; her cocktails; her runs on the beach; and her two Siamese cats, Law and Order. She lives in the upper flat of the Santa Monica home where she grew up, while her assistant and his husband live in the lower flat.

Addie's seventy-three-year-old father is well-known around the world for his work as a consultant for aviation startup companies. Her mother is an elegant and humorous seventy-two-year-old retired Vogue model. Addie's assistant extraordinaire handles Addie's court reporting business; and his husband is the most sought-after hairdresser in SoCal. Addie's brother is in high demand as an attorney. Their sinister sister leads them down twisted paths, and one of Addie's friends owns the most popular escort service in Los Angeles.

The love of Addie's life worked for the CIA and went missing in a sting operation. He was last seen entering a building that had just blown up. His death was never confirmed, and Addie has trouble accepting his disappearance. After four years she decides to check out online match-making services, which takes her on a whirlwind of comical dates.
