About the BBDA

Murder. Mayhem. Tea?

The Bluebell Detective Agency is a quirky-cozy mystery set in Portland, Oregon, where private investigator Rose Kachel navigates the city's oddities while tackling cases that are anything but ordinary.

When Rose is hired by Tim Bremington—a mild-mannered physician assistant nursing a broken heart and injured extremities—to find out if his fiancée is cheating on him, they expect a straightforward case. Instead, they find themselves unraveling a complex web of secrets involving a beloved local business, a missing person, and a family fighting to stay together in a new country.

Rose’s quick wit, stubborn curiosity, and offbeat methods are put to the test as she uncovers more than just infidelity. With Tim as her reluctant sidekick, Rose must sort through cultural misunderstandings, shady dealings, and dangerous confrontations, all while maintaining her own sense of humor—and Tim’s sanity.

Packed with snappy dialogue, a vibrant Portland setting, and a pair of unlikely partners learning to trust each other, The Bluebell Detective Agency is a refreshing take on the cozy mystery genre. It’s a story about loyalty, love, and the unexpected bonds that form when solving crimes—one cup of tea at a time.
