In Death by Misadventure, Daniel Kowalski proves that the most dangerous leads aren't found in a crime lab, but in the reckless choices we make when we're already at rock bottom.
This is peak indie noir—raw, unpolished, and dripping with atmosphere. I’m always a sucker for a deeply flawed protagonist, and Detective Jennifer is about as real as they come. She’s newly divorced, her "drinking is thickening," and she’s staring down a murder case involving cutthroat airline executives and fixers who smile like sharks. As an indie blogger, I live for this kind of "unfiltered soul" energy; Kowalski doesn't try to make Jennifer a polished hero—he lets her be messy, desperate, and dangerously human.
What really makes this thriller a standout is the way the high-finance egos clash with Jennifer’s personal spiral. The tension builds perfectly as her reckless affair with an old flame slides her directly into a predator's crosshairs. When the leads thin out and a PI starts shadowing her every move, you can feel the walls closing in. It’s a haunting puzzle where the evidence might just turn the detective into the perfect patsy. If you crave a story that blurs the lines between love and betrayal and keeps the noir vibes at a fever pitch, this is your next obsession.
