Think “detective fiction” and what comes to mind? Trench coats and cigars? Gunfights in darkened alleys? If so, then Fortune’s Friends: Hell Week will come as something of a surprise. It’s the story of Liz Monroe, an ambitious new detective at Franklin Fortune’s fifth-rate detective agency. In her first week there, she has to endure the slings and arrows of wardrobe woes, practical jokes, and the sharp tongue of her unrelentingly gay co-worker. And just when things couldn’t get much worse, there was a murder…

Scripted by husband and wife mystery writers Kay and Mike Reynolds, and illustrated by Colleen Doran (A Distant Soil), Fortune’s Friends is an enjoyable detective story without the usual hyper-violence.
