Sherlock meets Veronica Mars meets Ferris Bueller's Day Off in this story of a wisecracking girl who meets a weird but brilliant boy and their roller-coaster of a semester that's one part awkward, three parts thrilling, and five parts awesome.When Philip Digby first shows up on her doorstep, Zoe Webster is not impressed. He's rude and he treats her like a book he's already read and knows the ending to. But before she knows it, Digby—annoying, brilliant and somehow...attractive? Digby—has dragged her into a series of hilarious and dangerous situations all related to an investigation into the kidnapping of a local teenage girl. A kidnapping that may be connected to the tragic disappearance of his own sister eight years ago.When it comes to Digby, Zoe just can't say no. Digby gets her, even though she barely gets herself. But is Digby a hero, or is his manic quest an indication of a desperate attempt to repair his broken family and exercise his own obsessive compulsive tendencies?A romance where the leading man is decidedly unromantic, a crime novel where catching the crook isn't the only hook, a friendship story where they aren't even sure they like each other—this is a contemporary debut with razor-sharp dialogue, ridiculously funny action, and the most charismatic dynamic duo you've ever met.From the Hardcover edition.

An utterly satisfying sequel packed with razor-sharp dialogue, a love triangle you didn't see coming, and the most charismatic dynamic duo you ever met. Now that the infuriating and irresistible Philip Digby has left town for a lead on his sister who disappeared years ago, Zoe Webster is looking forward to a quiet spring semester. She's dating a cute quarterback, hanging out with new friends, and enjoying being "a normal." Which is of course when Digby comes back. He needs Zoe's help, and not just to find his sister. Zoe can either choose to stay on her current path toward popularity, perfect SAT scores, and Princeton, or she can take a major detour with Digby, and maybe find out what that kiss he stole from her really meant. Digby and his over-the-top schemes always lead somewhere unexpected and Zoe's beginning to learn she might just like jumping into the unknown. When it comes to Digby, for Zoe at least, the choice might already be made. From the Hardcover edition.

Happily Ever After gets a serious makeover in this swoony, non-stop, thrill-ride of a conclusion to the Trouble Is a Friend of Mine trilogy Digby and Zoe have been skirting around each other for so long that you might think they'd lose their magic if they ever actually hooked up. But never fear--there's all the acerbic wit, steamy chemistry, and sarcastic banter you could possibly hope for. Now that Digby's back in town with a new lead, he's plunged Zoe (and their Scooby Gang of wealthy frenemy Sloane, nerd-tastic genius Felix, and aw-shucks-handsome Henry) into the deep end on the hunt for his kidnapped sister. Sure, it could require breaking into a government research facility (not to mention a little light treason), and yes, Zoe could be jeopardizing her Ivy League future. But dating Digby was never going to be short on danger, and it's worth it if it helps him get the closure he so desperately needs. The schemes might be over-the-top but this Breakfast Club cast is irresistibly real as they cope with regular high school stuff from social media shaming to dating your best friend, all with a twist no one will see coming. "I'm in awe of Tromly because of what she has pulled off. . . this book sings."--Jesse Andrews, author of Me and Earl and the Dying Girl and The Haters on Trouble Is a Friend of Mine

Die Ermittlungen gehen weiter! Monatelang kein Lebenszeichen und jetzt steht er wieder vor Zoes Tür: Digby. Zähneknirschend hilft sie ihm auch diesmal bei seinen Ermittlungen zum Verschwinden seiner kleinen Schwester Sally. Von jetzt auf gleich stecken beide mittendrin im reinsten Chaos. Aber Digby wäre nicht Digby, hätte er nicht bereits einen Plan. Zumindest so ungefähr. Außerdem läuft es ja sowieso nie genau nach Plan. Schon gar nicht zwischen ihm und Zoe.

Beschossen. Inhaftiert. Gekidnappt. Ein ganz normaler Tag mit Digby: Bei Digby muss man auf alles gefasst sein. Das war Zoe in dem Moment klar, als sie seine Bekanntschaft machte. Nicht klar war ihr allerdings, dass sie mit ihm auch gleich von einer gefährlichen Situation in die nächste geraten würde. Denn Digby setzt alles daran, den Fall seiner kleinen Schwester, die vor acht Jahren entführt wurde, aufzuklären.Wie er es aber anstellt, dass Zoe mit ihm bei einem Gynäkologen einbricht,kurzzeitig auf der Polizeiwache landet und an einen Drogenhändlerring gerät? Keine Ahnung. Nur eines weiss sie genau: Ein Plan B wäre jetzt gerade sicher nicht verkehrt. Bei Stephanie Tromlys Held Digby muss man sich auf spannende Unterhaltung auf höchstem Niveau gefasst machen, immer mit einer Prise schrägem Humor gewürzt und einem besonders lässigem Dedektiv a l?
