The Girlfriend Guide to Negligent Homicide: A Jaycee Grayson Novel (The Jaycee Grayson Series Book 2)

When a Wisconsin brewmaster drops dead after sampling his nineteen-year-old bride’s internet-famous meat sticks, Jaycee Grayson’s fortunes take a turn from disgraced Hollywood exec to reluctant sleuth on the prairie—one killer kielbasa at a time.

A viral cooking show, a camera-shy chef, and an imaginary lawyer named “Chet Gepiti” hardly make an airtight case for her own defense when Jaycee’s desperate hunt to find a missing corpse goes awry. As a slushy early-spring weekend exposes her faulty life plan across Mad City, it may not be the best time to throw over that small-town cop with integrity issues for the earnest would-be congressman forced to choose between saving her—or democracy.

What follows is a hilariously sharp “Girlfriend Guide” to making a case for accidental death, incidental romance, and a woman-owned Mennonite meat empire—all while straddling the culture wars under the homicidal guise of Midwest nice.

"A fearless satire of love, loyalty, and belonging in a world that persists in mistaking female empowerment for original sin."

Jaycee is waiting for someone super important to declare this in the Littleburgh Pennysaver—or maybe even the New Norske Times! But for now, she’s already a cult favorite among sharp-tongued book-nerds everywhere.

For fans of sharp, darkly funny workplace fiction and dark humor novels in the vein of Natalie Sue's I Hope This Finds You Well, Rufi Thorpe's Margot's Got Money Troubles, and John Kenney's I See You've Called in Dead, dive into the chaotic corporate mayhem of The Jaycee Grayson Novels by Julie Ann Sipos. Explore a world of institutional absurdity, Midwest suspense, and witty contemporary satire where messy modern survival meets unforgettable laughs.
