Fixing the Books (Jax of All Trade Mystery Book 3)
By Fallon Brown — Paperback, releasing November 8, 2025

Lou Carsley has officially sworn off investigating—again.

After too many close calls, too much gossip, and not enough sleep, Lou is ready to focus on their queer book club, a new employee, and maybe even their confusing friendship with Officer Matthias Lindert. Life in their small town finally feels steady—until a phone call from their friend Jody O’Dell changes everything.

There’s been a murder in the library, and Jody is the prime suspect. Lou doesn’t buy it for a second. With a keen eye for trouble and a stubborn streak a mile wide, they’re determined to clear Jody’s name… even if it means stepping right back into the chaos they swore to avoid.

Fixing the Books is a cozy queer mystery filled with sharp wit, chosen family, and a dash of slow-burn tension. Because when murder strikes close to home, sometimes the only way to keep things from falling apart is to fix the books.
