January Jinx, Book 1 of the cozy historical calendar mystery series
The first chance Minty Wilcox gets in January 1899, she sets off to find a job as a stenographer/typist in Kansas City.
But her search is jinxed from the start because right off the bat she doesn't even get to her destination because some old man with a gun and a sheriff's badge accuses her of pushing a soldier to his death.
In spite of Minty's efforts to clear her name, bad luck soon spreads like a nasty cold from her to her entire family and to Daniel Price, the mysterious stranger who takes a room at her mother's boarding house. And so Minty decides that only she can put things right.
That won't be easy in Kansas City where living could get downright deadly a hundred years or so ago.
Praise for January Jinx, Book 1 of the Calendar Mystery Series
The delightful, creative, and charming January Jinx introduces a terrific character in Minty Wilcox, a good old-fashioned cozy mystery persona who will surely be able to carry the planned-for series. It's Minty who drives the readable narrative, and author Juliet Kincaid keeps the pace steady and fast at the same time for quite a readable experience . . . The unique setting of 1899 Kansas City is full of flavor that never overwhelms the story and the characters. With a terrific, original, but still comfortable series concept, there are certainly big things afoot for Juliet Kincaid and Minty Wilcox's Calendar Mysteries.
