From neglected teen to master criminal, Agatha Shadewell’s life has been dark, dangerous, and often dishonest—but it’s never been dull.

Young Aggie Shadewell never said, “I want to be a master criminal when I grow up.”

But one questionable choice led to another, then another… and before she knew it, she’d built a career skirting the law, outsmarting bad guys, and returning stolen goods to their rightful owners…mostly.

And if she kept a bit of the loot for herself, well, a gal’s gotta eat, right?

Told through a series of interconnected tales, An Unlikely Story gathers Agatha Shadewell’s crimes, cons, and close calls into a single chronological journey—thirty stories from across the series, alongside ten brand-new tales that reveal the moments in between.

Together, they form the origin story of a woman whose moral code was shaped by hard lessons, unlikely friendships, and a talent for knowing exactly when to bend the rules.

Welcome to Agatha’s past.She’s been expecting you.

Perfect for fans of The Thursday Murder Club, Only Murders in the Building, and clever whodunits with snarky seniors aging disgracefully.
