"I would recommend An Unsuitable Job to readers who like cozy mysteries with a little grit. Anyone who enjoys historical settings. Anyone who likes strong women who push back when they are told to stay quiet. It is a book for people who want quick pacing paired with warm character work. I enjoyed it, and I think many others will too." -Litarary Titan Review

"I turned the last page, hoping Josie's journey continues. She's a character with so much more to explore, and I'd happily follow her through many more investigations."
In this multiple award winning historical mystery, readers find themselves immersed in 1929 Las Vegas, New Mexico. When a man is murdered at the Castaneda Hotel, Josie MacFarland is given an impossible role: the first Harvey House Detective. Armed with only her determination, Josie faces a dismissive sheriff, the cold shoulder of old friends, and the hardships of the Great Depression.
She can either return home in disgrace—or fight to prove she belongs in a world determined to shut her out.
For readers of Jacqueline Winspear, Rhys Bowen, and Sulari Gentill.

Bonnie Hardy, a retired professional turned author, is celebrated for her expanding mystery universe set in California's mountain and desert landscapes. Her cozy Lily Rock Mysteries follow amateur sleuth Olivia Greer, known for her uncanny ability to draw out confessions from the most unlikely people, while her Redondo & Rose: Neighbors in Crime series transports readers to Palm Desert, where mentalist Rex Redondo and his grounded next-door neighbor, doula Vivienne Rose, uncover secrets in the sunbaked desert. Bonnie's newest historical mystery series begins with "An Unsuitable Job," introducing Josie MacFarland, a former Harvey Girl turned private investigator in 1929 New Mexico. Against the backdrop of the elegant Castaneda Hotel, Josie becomes the first-ever "Harvey House Detective," navigating a world that doesn't welcome women in charge. Inspired by Agatha Christie, Bonnie's tales of mystery and community masterfully blend fast-paced whodunits with clever sleuthing, rich emotional undercurrents, and the enduring spirit of women who won't be underestimated.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Boston, 1929. The Great Depression has left its mark on every household-including the MacFarlands'. But for Josephine, the economic downturn only sharpened her resolve to forge a different path. She's never conformed-not to her family's expectations, nor to society's narrow view of a respectable young woman. Branded impulsive and unsuitable for marriage, Josie defied it all by joining the ranks of the Harvey Girls, young women trained to bring elegance and order to the railways of the American West.Then came the scandal. Sent home in disgrace, Josie thought her chance for independence was gone.Until now.The Fred Harvey Company summons her back-not to waitress, but to investigate. A man has been murdered at the Castaneda Hotel in Las Vegas, New Mexico, and they want the matter handled quietly. With little more than a train ticket and her determination, Josie becomes the first-ever Harvey House Detective, charged with solving a case no one wants exposed.She arrives to suspicion and silence. The sheriff refuses to work with a female investigator. Her former friend Lily, now a maid at the hotel, offers only polite distance. And Daniel Naranjo, once her confidant, gives her back her beloved pinto, Rio-but not his trust.When a letter arrives announcing her dismissal, Josie is stranded, penniless, and unwelcome. But she refuses to go quietly-not when her future, her name, and a man's life demand justice.For readers of Jacqueline Winspear, Rhys Bowen, and Sulari Gentill, 'An Unsuitable Job' introduces a bold new heroine navigating murder, reputation, and reinvention in a time when women were expected to stay silent.
