Publisher's Synopsis
Katherine Greene had to dump Sven, her potential dreamboat fiancé and her meal ticket. Now she's got to find work. Fast. She can't be picky. Can she get an ex-con to hire her? Will she recover the concept car she loses on the job? Follow her through zany adventures at work each day and navigating two boyfriends at night.
Starting over isn't easy, but it can lead to unexpected adventures. In Start At One, Katherine has to tackle work she has no business doing and solve crimes the local police can't, all while trying to pull her personal and love life together. Will she choose the steady, reliable option or the one full of excitement and intrigue?
This character driven novel includes a hilarious cast of strong female characters. A techie nun, a buff retired sidekick, and the Dead Ladies Society help Katherine attempt to handle a crazy boss and lowbrow criminals. Follow Katherine as she taps into her hometown network to try to solve big city doings in small town Rhinebeck, NY.
Author Beth Hayes noticed the books recommended to her were depressing or disturbing. She didn't want to read a book that opened with a horrific car crash or one described as being about a girl with nightmares. She wanted a book that was fun, happy, and adventurous. So she wrote the book she would want to read. Her debut novel, Start At One, is inspired by her favorite authors, Janet Evanovich and Adriana Trigiani. It's full of quirky, resourceful characters and is lots of fun.
