The Trouble: Girl Detective mystery series is the creation of James Taylor and Marco Sparks, co-hosts of Bros Watch PLL Too, Headcanon, and the Neal Stephenson Book Club podcasts.

The critically-acclaimed novels follow the exploits of Jenny Valentine, the eponymous heroine whose middle name of Trouble spells mayhem for anyone lucky or unlucky enough to cross her path. Trouble is on the hunt for her novelist father’s killer, a mysterious figure seemingly birthed from the pages of the junior readers mystery books he famously authored. During her journey to uncover the truth, Trouble reconnects with family she never knew, wins infamy of her own, and wrestles to find her own identity in a world where her fictional alter-ego never had to grow up and go to high school.
