Grace’s life is turned upside down when she finds her boss’s dead body at his desk. After being questioned by the police, Grace takes it as a sign to declare her recent move to Philadelphia a bust and move back to Florida, until her boss’s widow, Jo, shows up and offers Grace a job as her assistant.
The catch? Jo only wants assistance with one thing: solving her husband’s murder. Jo believes that the police can’t be trusted, and that two amateur millennial women will have much better luck cracking the case.
Armed with Jo’s creative “crime board” and various disguises – including a retired stripper and a pro bono housecleaner – they just might pull it off …
Hilarious, wholesome, and relatable, Grace & Jo Have Never Solved a Murder speaks to everyone who’s ever believed that they could solve a mystery.

Jess Mey is a writer and member of the late-ADHD-diagnosis club. She has a degree in journalism and public relations from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Jess left her job as a marketing copywriter in 2017 to be a stay-at-home mom, freelancing in her spare time (when she had a break from reading “The Little Blue Truck” to her son for the 238th time). When she’s not writing or reading, you can find her at the thrift store, planning a vacation, or playing The Sims 4, all while drinking iced coffee, no matter the season. Jess lives in the Pittsburgh suburbs with her husband, two children, and their corgi, Clementine.
“Grace and Jo are the perfect duo, each complementing the other in a way that makes Grace & Jo Have Never Solved a Murder a rather charming read.”
“Jess Mey has managed the amazing task of providing a credible reason for two amateur sleuths to investigate a murder. When artist Garrett Baros is found dead by his new assistant, Grace, she and Garrett’s wife Jo set out to discover his killer. Grace’s life expands as she works with Jo to investigate the suspects and their motives. This is serious fun, and it all works.”
“The plot is tricky and the characters pop off the page. But when you add in Jess Mey’s themes of grief, growth, and greed, Grace and Jo solve so much more than a murder.”
“Savvy amateur detectives and witty banter make Mey’s debut an absolute win! More cases for Grace and Jo, please.”
