Catfished: A Rylie Cooper Mystery

Rylie Cooper Mysteries, Book 1

By: Stella Bixby

Narrated by: Stephanie Richardson

It wasn’t the life she pictured.

And the view from her parent’s basement…

…looked like failure.

Rylie hadn’t grown up wanting to be a park ranger (or move back home in disgrace) and she wasn’t sure what it involved, but she had to start somewhere. Rebuilding a life after being lied to, cheated on, and evicted, isn’t an exact science. She thought her first day on the job would be all fresh air and nature walks.

Then she found the body.

If it wasn’t for the appearance of Luke Hannah—the lead investigator on the case and her first love—she may have cut her losses and returned to the help wanted ads. But now Rylie is determined to prove herself . . . in more ways than one.

When the authorities pin the murder on the wrong man, Rylie casts out to catch the real killer and clear the innocent man’s name—at the risk of losing her job or even becoming catfish bait herself.

If you like Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series, you’ll love the first book in the Rylie Cooper Mystery series, because it’s a witty murder mystery baited with snarky humor and a hint of romance.

Get it now.

not good enough

This book was not good enough to be a relationship cliffhanger. The tease of a free mystery does not make up for the trick. Does anyone appreciate being manipulated?

Ready for some fun, with a side of murder? Rylie Cooper has you covered!

I was really excited to get my hands on CATFISHED when it finally released in audiobook—I’ve loved reading the Rylie Cooper Mysteries on my Kindle (and Bixby’s Magic Mane mystery series is super fun, too!) — the audio version did not disappoint! What a fun story! I couldn’t wait to get back to it every time I had to turn the book off and be an adult doing boring adult stuff. Highly recommended! Wonderful narration, and an all-around fun mystery. I can barely stand the wait for the next one, so bring it quickly, Stella Bixby!
