Mia Taylor
Mia Taylor is a private investigator. She is single, germaphobic, afraid of crowds, heights and snakes. After the death of her husband, Matthew who was killed by a car bomb, Mia began to fall apart. She got fired from her job as detective with the New York police when she began to manifest an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Until she can get her anxiety problems under control, she won‘t be able to return to active duty. Meanwhile, Mia hires herself out as a private consultant and uses her detective skills to solve crimes.
Her attention to detail and her Zen/Sherlock Holmes like demeanor enables her to read people and the environment, to see what others do not. Mia’s talisman is a set of keys that belonged to her husband's car. She holds them close until she can discover the true facts behind his death. Mia occasionally will play her guitar at the foot of her husband's grave. Mia celebrates August 8th as an anniversary. It was the first time she met Matthew. Her favorite meal was Chicken Cacciatore. Mia regularly visits her psychiatrist Dr. Milton Stokes on Monday, Friday and every other Wednesday.
Mia has strange ways of coping with stressful situations. For instance, when Mia walks down the street, she will compulsively begin to touch and count each and every parking meter she passes. And meal time has a strict order: Tuesday is always chicken pot pie night.
It was at college that Mia met her future husband, Matthew while she worked in the library. He came in one day looking for a book by Alexander Pope (Volume 2). And although that section of the library was being reorganized and all the books were stacked in large piles on the tables, Mia's photographic memory enabled her to find the exact book that Matthew needed. Bedazzled by Mia, Matthew summoned the courage to call her three weeks later.

Mia's nickname in college was "Captain Cool" because she was obsessed with keeping her dormitory refrigerator clean and defrosted. Mia was so fastidious that whenever she saw a weed growing anywhere on campus, she took the time to pluck it. In later years, Mia would even wander through a supermarket and pull all of the expired products off the shelves and wheel them up to the check out counter.
