For my first post here at the Cats Read Mysteries blog, I'd like to tell you about a new short mystery from author J.J. Brass's Cozy and Queer series: Murder at the Office. The thing I love most about this little book is that it features a mother and sixteen-year-old daughter--and trust me when I say they do NOT get along! Their interplay reminds me 100% of my mom and my sister when she was a teenager.

As a reader who devours LGBT fiction, I also love that there's more than one lesbian character in this story. The entire mystery takes place at the mother's office, where her estranged daughter has come to take advantage of some free colour photocopying. When the boss gets wind of this, she's not happy. No using company property for personal gain!

When the boss turns up dead, it doesn't seem like the office workers will be crying too many tears. It's up to Sharon and Kate, our mother/daughter team of amateur sleuths, to figure out who the murderer is. Can they solve the crime without killing each other? Well it wouldn't be a very satisfying cozy if they didn't, but what I particularly enjoyed was not only the journey but how their sleuthing helps bring them together. Mother and daughter finally have a very necessary conversation after cracking the case.

Murder at the Office is a really funny little story that strikes a lot of cords for a reader who enjoys a good cozy lesbian mystery. Have a read!

Sharon and her teenage daughter haven’t been on the best of terms since the divorce. Perhaps it’s natural for a deodorant-eschewing lesbian punk to avoid her mother, but Sharon can’t help thinking there’s more to the story.

When Kate shows up at the office, Sharon is stunned to see her. The only thing that could surprise Sharon more is finding the boss strangled to death! Can this mother and daughter pairing put their squabbles aside long enough to solve a murder? Or will the killer strike again… closer to home?
