A death? Not so much. <br /><br /> Greta Plank, resident librarian in the small, lakeside town of Larkspur, Wisconsin, prefers her rose-tinted glasses extra rosy, thank you very much. Ever since a family tragedy landed her in Larkspur, she’s kept a happy-or-bust outlook. But Greta’s cheery resolve takes a hit when she finds the town recluse dead at the base of the stairs leading from his deck to the lake. What she assumes is a terrible accident Greta soon learns is something more sinister, and to make matters worse, new-to-town Detective Mark McHenry cites her as not only his primary source for the case, but his top suspect. <br /><br /> To clear her name and return to life as she knew it before the murder, Greta decides to do some clue cataloging of her own. After all, she’s got her master’s degree in library science with an emphasis in research methodology…how hard could a criminal investigation be? With the help of her fellow librarians and her lawyer mom, Greta begins checking out the pages of the murder, uncovering details about the recluse’s rare book collection and Larkspur’s real estate market as she tries to understand why anyone would have authored his death. <br /><br /> But with friends and neighbors stacking up as both victims and suspects, Greta must cross-reference the facts and put a hold on her idyllic worldview if she wants to get the full story without paying the fine of her life. <p></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk1IH_xaiuPa4OiR7pFRwpaiiZXIqxaL9P4VG5vTohtXKsTjPPWpn2-cmsHebykfyjz2V5eIMIDoklgVRztxzRbP7MxOKtyrQUjZ16nQI-0a9qftV4FS5lkSNigA74giJkPsw614xTmn_Lg-3Q0pKLP5v-5KM17GYvTohXge0kFXdPEvOXtPXHS9Ga/s4032/IMG_1157.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk1IH_xaiuPa4OiR7pFRwpaiiZXIqxaL9P4VG5vTohtXKsTjPPWpn2-cmsHebykfyjz2V5eIMIDoklgVRztxzRbP7MxOKtyrQUjZ16nQI-0a9qftV4FS5lkSNigA74giJkPsw614xTmn_Lg-3Q0pKLP5v-5KM17GYvTohXge0kFXdPEvOXtPXHS9Ga/s320/IMG_1157.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUtMhBLY0eA9EoQ_mSHJenResiWx297-7_7VNvs7g6RwRgVMwbauHDBg93kZtoLOkBzCO-SZk8EY9U8nzUeLOG0RbKCibUi3M8xjtrOS8IZh6TTIhbexfUCkrBKwWA2hCYu69wZrPKrw1YDMFcECWzZCductXbw4mfcZnBmov55hVEQJBHyZT4Djf1/s5472/leah_dobrinska_headshot.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5472" data-original-width="3648" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUtMhBLY0eA9EoQ_mSHJenResiWx297-7_7VNvs7g6RwRgVMwbauHDBg93kZtoLOkBzCO-SZk8EY9U8nzUeLOG0RbKCibUi3M8xjtrOS8IZh6TTIhbexfUCkrBKwWA2hCYu69wZrPKrw1YDMFcECWzZCductXbw4mfcZnBmov55hVEQJBHyZT4Djf1/s320/leah_dobrinska_headshot.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br /><b>About Leah Dobrinska </b><br /><br />Leah Dobrinska is the author of the <a href="https://leahdobrinska.com/larkspur-library-series">Larkspur Library Mysteries</a>, a cozy mystery series set in the Wisconsin Northwoods, and the <a href="https://leahdobrinska.com/the-mapleton-series">Mapleton novels</a>, a series of standalone small town romances. She earned her degree in English Literature from UW-Madison and has since worked as a freelance writer, editor, and content marketer. As a kid, she hoped to grow up to be either Nancy Drew or Elizabeth Bennet. Now, she fulfills that dream by writing mysteries and love stories. Death Checked Out is her debut cozy mystery. <br /><br />A sucker for a good sentence, a happy ending, and the smell of books — both old and new — Leah lives out her very own happily ever after in a small Wisconsin town with her husband and their gaggle of kids. When she’s not writing, handing out snacks, or visiting local parks, Leah enjoys reading and running.

While public speaking isn’t Macy’s thing, she wants to brighten Vera’s lonely holiday season…and she can sell a little house blend on the side. <br /><br />When a lively book discussion spirals into a public roast of the mayor — who happens to be sitting in their midst — things get uncomfortable. Soon afterward, the mayor shows up dead in Vera’s bathroom, and no amount of gingerbread cookies or eggnog can restore Vera to the club’s good graces. ‘Tis the season for Macy to find the murderer, or else Vera might be taking a long winter’s nap in a jail cell. <br /><br /> Join siblings Macy and Bo Hatfield as they sniff out crimes in their hometown…with plenty of dogs along for the ride! The Barks & Beans Cafe cozy mystery series features a small town, an amateur sleuth, and no swearing or graphic scenes. <br /><br />The Barks & Beans Cafe cozy mystery series in order:<br /> Book 1: No Filter<br /> Book 2: Iced Over<br /> Book 3: Fair Trade<br /> Book 4: Spilled Milk<br /> Book 5: Trouble Brewing<br /> Book 6: Cold Drip<br /> Book 7: Roast Date <br />About Heather Day Gilbert <br /><br /> Award-winning novelist Heather Day Gilbert enjoys writing mysteries and Viking historicals.

She didn’t, though. She nodded to Felix, then carried on, almost purposely blind to the inner workings of the kitchen. The fabric of her palazzo pants snapped against her legs as she marched into her office, a space big enough to hold only a small desk and chair, a mounted bookcase, and a mini filing cabinet. She held the door open for me. I slid past her and sat in the single, ladder-backed chair facing her desk. “What’s going on?” I asked, more concerned now that I saw the dark circles around her eyes set into her drawn and pallid face. In the time I’d known Olaya, she’d never raised her voice to anyone. It wasn’t in her nature, except that I’d just witnessed it, and in front of customers no less.<br /><br />She drew in a slow, shaky breath. She exhaled and said, “Oh, Ivy. Life, it is not always good.”<br /><br />I’d also never heart Olaya speak so forlornly. It shook me. “What do you mean? Are you okay?”<br /><br />“Me? Yes, yes. It is my brother, Guillermo, and my cuñada—my sister-in-law, Alessandra.”<br /><br />I couldn’t help but react. I knew Olaya’s two sisters, Consuelo and Martina, but none of them had ever mentioned having a brother and a sister-in- law.<br /><br />Her lips quivered unexpectedly, and her eyes glazed. “They . . . they were in an accident a few days ago,” she said. “Both . . . both are dead now.” I’d also never known Olaya to be a particularly religious person, but the moment the words left her lips, she crossed herself, holding together her thumb and forefinger as she pressed them against her forehead, her chest, then from her left shoulder to her right shoulder. She muttered some- thing in Spanish before adding, “God rest their souls.”<br /><br />Shock and sadness surged through me. An accident. Her brother and sister-in-law, gone in the blink of an eye. I cleared my throat, swallowing my emotions. “I’m so sorry, Olaya. Can I do anything to help?”<br /><br />“Guillermo and Alessandra, they have . . . had . . . one child. She is my goddaughter, Pilar,” she said, pronouncing the i like a long e, rolling the r at the end. “She is fourteen.”<br /><br />“Oh no,” I breathed. I knew what it was to lose a parent. And she’d lost two. My heart instantly broke for the girl.<br /><br />Olaya rubbed the center of her forehead with the tips of her fingers. She let out a deep sigh. “We are her family now. She is coming here. To stay.”<br /><br />“Do you need to go get her?” I stood up and slung my camera strap over my shoulder. “Where do they live? I can drive you.”<br /><br />Olaya shook her head. “No, Ivy, pero I thank you. Consuelo and Freddy, they will bring her from San Diego. Soon.

It’s not just a place to work, but a community. And now one member of the community has been murdered . . . <br /><br /> A regular who used Yeast of Eden as a workspace, Josh Prentiss always turned heads with his startlingly good looks and thousand-watt smile. But Ivy can’t help noticing one morning that he seems distracted and off his game. Later, during a visit to the park where she and Miguel plan to hold their engagement party — with plenty of baked goods on the menu — her rescue pug, Agatha, sniffs out Josh lying in a bed of poppies…scone cold dead. <br /><br /> There’s no reason for Ivy to get involved. She’s busy enough holding down the fort as the shop’s owner, Olaya, cares for her recently orphaned niece, not to mention the stress when a new employee is fired and storms out in a rage. Then a band of rabble-rousers starts picketing the bakery, claiming that Olaya’s sourdough roll is what killed Josh — and Ivy hears some salacious gossip about her beloved boss. She doesn’t think there’s a grain of truth to the seedy rumors — but to prove it, she’ll have to start sleuthing. </div><div> </div><div> <br /> </div><div> </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV-DVdEeAL4KUqvKzjcG6g0HlttGIjDEkwXk0vpR01_DoRGvty0XGNVjCYlHNWRxhGq5lWtCIsMuKHVOvSzlRv2F-YJgwcWIa4b-A12ZwatmXXtqayB5_qvTTsreOAVod62-X1p9PU9XVWh4I9gF68kkMj5klNuMDoHMisHRanAEXELa7akc6eRlVf/s2100/Headshot%20-%20Winnie%20Archer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2100" data-original-width="1500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV-DVdEeAL4KUqvKzjcG6g0HlttGIjDEkwXk0vpR01_DoRGvty0XGNVjCYlHNWRxhGq5lWtCIsMuKHVOvSzlRv2F-YJgwcWIa4b-A12ZwatmXXtqayB5_qvTTsreOAVod62-X1p9PU9XVWh4I9gF68kkMj5klNuMDoHMisHRanAEXELa7akc6eRlVf/s320/Headshot%20-%20Winnie%20Archer.jpg" width="229" /></a></div></div><div> </div><div><b>About Winnie Archer </b><br /><br />Winnie Archer is the nationally bestselling author of the Bread Shop Mystery series, as well as the Lola Cruz Mysteries and the Magical Dressmaking Mystery series written as Melissa Bourbon.

Everyone wants to get in on the act. <br /><br /> The crew from the wildly popular, fan favorite, Fatal Impressions, takes over Jules Keene’s glamping resort, and they bring a lot of offscreen drama and baggage that doesn’t include the scads of costumes, props, and crowds that descend on the bucolic resort in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Added security, hundreds of calls from hopeful extras, and some demanding divas keep Jules’s team hopping. <br /><br /> When the show’s prickly head writer ends up dead under the L. Frank Baum tiny house in what looks like a staged murder scene with a kitschy homage to the Wizard of Oz, Jules has to figure out who would want the writer dead. Then while they are still reeling from the first murder, the popular publicist gets lost after a long night at the local honky-tonk and winds up strangled. Jules needs to solve both crimes before filming is canceled, and her business is ruined. <br /><br /> </p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd2LFPx3O7Xn-Q-dxvywU5hJNEtDOG408-2ofSuoIvCRyBpJpEbp7INTQYM1omdlUZMFvPaffnPrcJLPfIfFYTVFqnp0JZ3UD4vAvUMp37qJNqxe8DDrd1EvthLyelO84Wdf4zucv3pU_iuP1mzZItG6JuDGxZnby3wiJd192UTJ8j5oKjvPVZIW2P/s264/Heather%20Weidner%20sq.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="260" data-original-width="264" height="260" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd2LFPx3O7Xn-Q-dxvywU5hJNEtDOG408-2ofSuoIvCRyBpJpEbp7INTQYM1omdlUZMFvPaffnPrcJLPfIfFYTVFqnp0JZ3UD4vAvUMp37qJNqxe8DDrd1EvthLyelO84Wdf4zucv3pU_iuP1mzZItG6JuDGxZnby3wiJd192UTJ8j5oKjvPVZIW2P/s1600/Heather%20Weidner%20sq.png" width="264" /></a></div><p></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">About Heather Weidner </span></b><br /><br />Through the years, Heather Weidner has been a cop’s kid, technical writer, editor, college professor, software tester, and IT manager.

Town gossip Ava Dempsey rumors that Clark Gable will be among the participating stars. Instead of Gable, the headliner is Freddie Harrison, a B-movie star. When Freddie turns up dead in the dunk tank, Irene Ingram, editor-in-chief of The Progress Herald, starts chasing the real headline. <br /><br /> There are plenty of suspects and little evidence. Ava’s sister Angel, who was married to the dead actor, is the most obvious. The couple had argued about his affair with the young starlet Belinda Fox, and Angel was the last person to see Freddie alive. <br /><br /> Irene discovers there’s more than one person who might have wanted Freddie dead.

When assistant librarian Trudell Becket is invited to speak to the group about the library, its modernization, and her efforts to bring printed books to the reading public, her friend Flossie invites herself along. Flossie has been on the book club’s waiting list for five years, and she’s determined to find out why she’s never received an invitation to join. <br /><br />But not long after Tru and Flossie arrive for the meeting, they’re shocked to find the club’s president, Rebecca White, dead in the kitchen. Rebecca was a former TV actress and local celebrity, but was not known for being patient or pleasant. She’d been particularly unkind to the book club’s host for the evening, who also happens to be the mother of Detective Jace Bailey, Tru’s boyfriend. And Rebecca had made it clear that she didn’t think Flossie was book club material. <br /><br />With her boyfriend and one of her best friends wrapped up in a murder, Tru has to work fast to figure out who cut Rebecca’s story short before the killer takes another victim out of circulation. </p><p><br /> </p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMp53wMd3gabuEpTAnWo98MXOacKMCBkgVCvSsN0u0Gbce2YCakHjjESOCRxqisQnzV3I8U4wYnsc_9-_NXxX9mPQYUbqvKXnNBAGV1gIcYk4eaFdf8C36Tld8xFIJDj_TyGzDeURMFH98hpSl3o82C-4OPXZQFuWdN6cn_nkzHFBjteHkzmMi1xTX/s3130/dsj2020.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3130" data-original-width="2504" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMp53wMd3gabuEpTAnWo98MXOacKMCBkgVCvSsN0u0Gbce2YCakHjjESOCRxqisQnzV3I8U4wYnsc_9-_NXxX9mPQYUbqvKXnNBAGV1gIcYk4eaFdf8C36Tld8xFIJDj_TyGzDeURMFH98hpSl3o82C-4OPXZQFuWdN6cn_nkzHFBjteHkzmMi1xTX/s320/dsj2020.jpg" width="256" /></a></div><br /><b>About Dorothy St. James </b><br /><br /> Dorothy St. James is a former Folly Beach beach bum.

She had never read a romance novel until her sister gave her the latest bestseller by Nora Roberts. She was hooked from page one (actually, she admits it was the first love scene). <br /><br />Her novels reflect her mercurial temperament and include historical romances, contemporary romances, cozy mysteries, and dark mysteries. With some being “clean” and some being “naughty,” she has a book for your every mood. <br /><br />Elizabeth lives in Wisconsin with her understanding husband and Sidney, the rescue dog from Tennessee.

</p><blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">When temperamental conductor Felix
Underhayes is killed before a rehearsal of the Nutcracker ballet,
everyone realizes the show must go on. At an already crazy time of year,
things become more complicated when Emily Wilson’s nephew,
percussionist Charlie McRae, is accused of the crime. Emily’s sister,
Kathleen, and their mother arrive to help prove Charlie’s innocence, but
in spite of their best intentions, their efforts do more to hinder the
police investigation than to help. To secure justice for her nephew, can
Emily juggle performances and family dynamics, while she dodges a
demented killer who wants to silence her?</p>

My ears rang with the sound. It had to have been close… <br /><br />A few fraught seconds later the exit door slammed, the ensuing silence broken only by Felix’s moaning. I decided the threat had gone and moved across the entry and down the hallway, toward Felix’s dressing room. <br /><br />The prima ballerina’s door was closed. Next to it, the premier danseur emerged from his dressing room. “What’s happening?” <br /><br />“I don’t know.” I crept cautiously forward, the dancer following. <br /><br />The next door, Felix’s, stood open. He lay on the floor, groaning. And bleeding. <br /><br />The danseur turned ashen and his chin trembled. “What . . . what . . .” <br /><br />I spotted a cummerbund hung over a chair. “Take that cummerbund and press it over the wound on Felix’s chest. I’ll call 911.” <br /><br />I pulled the phone from my pocket. “Send an ambulance and police to Fleisher Hall. A man’s been shot.” <br /><br />The danseur knelt on one side of Felix, pressing the cummerbund to the conductor’s chest. I knelt on the other, holding Felix’s outstretched arm, his hand in mine. “It’s okay.” I tried to reassure him. “Help will be here soon.” <br /><br />Felix whispered, “Tell her she’s the only one . . .”</div><div> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Giveaway</span></b><br /></div><div> <br /><a href="http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/028877921432/?widget_template=56d5f80dbc544fb30fda66f0">http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/028877921432</a><br /> <br /><b>Please follow the rest of the tour here, thanks:</b><br /> <br /><a href="https://www.escapewithdollycas.com/great-escapes-virtual-book-tours/upcoming-great-escapes-book-tours/ballistics-at-the-ballet-a-musical-murder-mystery-by-b-j-bowen">https://www.escapewithdollycas.com/great-escapes-virtual-book-tours/upcoming-great-escapes-book-tours/ballistics-at-the-ballet-a-musical-murder-mystery-by-b-j-bowen</a> </div>Paranormal and Romantic Suspense Reviewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05160068916776221551noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310866431597465358.post-37149173975862293442022-07-20T02:00:00.040-07:002022-08-08T02:04:46.494-07:00Jennifer Chase's Silent Little Angels Blog Tour with a Spotlight<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh52aCIba42HDu-s7X8U8oT49Oy4C9ZJkNCS4PneXEXSMLqSz3aeLUTa8jsP9OISpHeOHs7N-zQmL5oU3FNJTBpFIc-mFXep1h0BLlpEVtsAsISlpGJO78mZvCYch4HLBjG5FXcleY2gEOtEbCkPbW-VPYOx7Jft26dYKSQPLDv3O0T4d8oyFy7Jb8S/s659/Silent-Little-Angels-banner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="292" data-original-width="659" height="142" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh52aCIba42HDu-s7X8U8oT49Oy4C9ZJkNCS4PneXEXSMLqSz3aeLUTa8jsP9OISpHeOHs7N-zQmL5oU3FNJTBpFIc-mFXep1h0BLlpEVtsAsISlpGJO78mZvCYch4HLBjG5FXcleY2gEOtEbCkPbW-VPYOx7Jft26dYKSQPLDv3O0T4d8oyFy7Jb8S/s320/Silent-Little-Angels-banner.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p></p><p>I am so excited to have Jennifer Chase here at Mystery Thrillers and Romantic Suspense Reviews with a Spotlight.<br /><br />Thanks Jennifer and Pump Up Your Book Promotions for allowing me to join your Silent Little Angels Blog Tour! <br /><br />Please take it away, Jennifer! <br /></p><p>Title: Silent Little Angels: Detective Katie Scott Book 7 <br /> Author: Jennifer Chase<br /> Publisher: Bookouture<br /> Pages: 402<br /> Genre: Crime Thriller <br />Book Blurb: <br /><br />The water ripples as the girl’s body escapes the reeds and floats silently upwards. Her beautiful face—blue eyes frozen open, skin as white as snow — breaks the surface. But it’s too late, this innocent soul has taken her final breath… <br /><br />When camp counselor Carolyn Sable’s body is found floating in a lake beside Eagle Ridge Summer Camp, Detective Katie Scott must dig deep to stay focused. As a child, Katie spent many happy weeks at that camp toasting marshmallows on the fire with her best friend Jenny… until the day Jenny disappeared. The loss will always haunt Katie, but Carolyn’s inconsolable family need answers. <br /><br />Searching the area, the devastating discovery of two more bodies sends the case into a tailspin. Suddenly on the hunt for a serial killer, Katie’s blood turns to ice when she finds newspaper clippings about her own past cases planted near one of the bodies. Was this twisted killer banking on Katie taking the lead? And why? <br /><br />Carolyn was adored by children and staff at the camp, so Katie thinks her sudden resignation is key to cracking the case. Uncovering a tragic accident involving a group of children in the weeks before Carolyn left, Katie knows she’s getting close. <br /><br />But when the carefully laid trap Katie sets to catch Carolyn’s killer backfires, Katie finds herself in unthinkable danger and unable to even trust her own team. Can she stay alive long enough to crack the toughest case of her career, and how many more innocent lives will be lost before she does? <br /><br />An absolutely unputdownable crime thriller from a USA Today and Amazon bestselling author.

Jules Keene, owner of the posh Fern Valley Camping Resort in the Blue Ridge Mountains, is thrust into the world of the Dark Web when one of her guests, Ira Perkins, is found murdered in the woods near her vintage trailers. Jules quickly discovers that the man who claimed to be on a writing retreat was not what he seemed, and someone will go to any length to find what he left at her resort. Jules, along with her Jack Russell Terrier sidekick Bijou, has to put the rest of the missing pieces of a blackmailing scheme together before her business is ruined. <br /><br />Jules’s resort, set in the heart of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains near Charlottesville in the quaint town of Fern Valley, offers guests a unique vacation in refurbished and upcycled vintage trailers. Hoping to expand her offerings, she partners with her maintenance/security guy to create a village of tiny houses, the latest home DIY craze, but a second murder of a reporter interrupts Jules’s expansion plans. </p><p>Curiosity gets the best of her, and she steps up her sleuthing to find out what Ira Perkins was really doing and what he hid at her resort. <br /><br /> <b><span style="font-size: large;">About Heather Weidner </span></b><br /><br /><img src="https://i0.wp.com/www.escapewithdollycas.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Heather-Weidner-2.png?resize=274%2C300&ssl=1" /> <br /><br />Through the years, Heather Weidner has been a cop’s kid, technical writer, editor, college professor, software tester, and IT manager.

But when Vic’s exacting nonna puts her in charge of catering the soup course for a wedding at the exclusive Belmont Country Club, it’s not long before trouble is simmering in the kitchen. Three temperamental chefs are butting heads, their sous chefs are throwing punches, and the formidable club president, Elizabeth Merriman, antagonizes everyone around her. <br /><br />Elizabeth, aka “The Iron Lady,” has made her share of enemies, including the father of the bride, who was caught embezzling from the country club. She threatens to fire the famous pastry chef in charge of the wedding cake, who doesn’t bother to hide her hatred of Elizabeth. And who is the mystery man in dark glasses, who never leaves the older woman’s side? <br /><br />Though the wedding goes off without a hitch, by the time the happy couple and their guests depart, Elizabeth Merriman is missing. When her body is found on the beach the next morning, it appears that the country club president slipped from the top of the seawall, but Vic isn’t convinced. Did The Iron Lady finally push someone too far? And did that someone push her back — into the arms of death? <br /> </p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEglPB287pGiiVrjEOiwrZ3zR-ETBLQa74bcKuJgQfkkT9IlPawqgyscz-vZpcq9o2y1bAkdaP_kMQqGhvBClLXUkv7KOCH7wGve6Fp6EpmbdvKs7nYcnW3D40qRO3y6WgHu5CI3EBJhbRSTfMZ7pMJJMy98woMeLok7dJNDOgYUWGlA5SN-128PtxcK=s962" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="962" data-original-width="962" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEglPB287pGiiVrjEOiwrZ3zR-ETBLQa74bcKuJgQfkkT9IlPawqgyscz-vZpcq9o2y1bAkdaP_kMQqGhvBClLXUkv7KOCH7wGve6Fp6EpmbdvKs7nYcnW3D40qRO3y6WgHu5CI3EBJhbRSTfMZ7pMJJMy98woMeLok7dJNDOgYUWGlA5SN-128PtxcK=s320" width="320" /></a></div><b>About Rosie Genova </b><br /><p>Bestselling and award-winning author Rosie Genova left her heart at the shore, which serves as the setting for much of her work.

Some explicit sexual scenes.</b><br /> <br /> <b>Book Description</b><br /> <br /> The eldest of the three wealthy Garrett brothers, Reese Garrett is in the middle of a major purchase for his multimillion-dollar oil and gas company, Garrett Resources. The Poseidon offshore drilling platform venture will greatly enhance the company’s value.<br /> <br /> But when Reese is on a trip out to see the rig, his helicopter crashes, leaving him hospitalized and two men dead. It’s discovered the chopper was sabotaged, and Reese is determined to find out who’s behind the crash — and whether he was the intended target. Then, when his lover, Kenzie, is accused of her ex-husband’s murder — a man with a vested interest in the Poseidon deal — clues start pointing to a connection that puts Reese, Kenzie and her young son in the sights of a killer.<br /> <br /> From the Texas heat to the Louisiana bayous, Reese and his brothers must track down the truth before the body count gets any higher.<br /> <br /> <b>Enjoy This Exclusive Excerpt from Kat Martin's THE PERFECT MURDER!</b><br /> <br /> <b>Chapter One <br />Galveston, Texas <br />Last Day of July </b><br /><br /> Seconds after the chopper lifted off the pad, Reese felt the odd vibration. Along with the pilot and co-pilot and five members of the crew, the Eurocopter EC135 was headed for the Poseidon offshore drilling platform. <br /><br />For a moment, the ride leveled out and Reese relaxed against his seat. As CEO of Garrett Resources, the billion-dollar oil and gas company he owned with his brothers, he was always searching for the right investment to expand company holdings, the reason he was flying out to the platform. <br /><br />For months he’d been working with Sea Titan Drilling, the owner of the offshore rig, to complete the five-hundred-million-dollar purchase, an extremely good value when the average price of a similar rig was around six-fifty. <br /><br />The vibration returned and with it came a grinding noise that put Reese on alert. The men in the cabin began to glance back and forth and shift nervously in their seats. A sharp jolt, then the chopper seemed to fall out of the sky. It climbed again, began to dip and sway, dropped then climbed as the pilot fought for control. <br /><br />The pilot’s deep voice rumbled through the headset. “We’ve got a problem. I don’t want you to panic, but we need to find a place to set down.” <br /><br />There was definitely a problem, Reese thought, as the vibration continued to worsen. The chopper was out of control and the whole cabin was shaking as if it would break apart any minute. His pulse was hammering, his adrenalin pumping. <br /><br />Along with the men in the crew who rode back and forth from the rig every few weeks, he stared out the window toward the ground. They were no longer above the heliport. Clearly the pilot was looking for an open space big enough to handle the thirty-six-foot blade span. All Reese could see were the rooftops of warehouses and metal commercial buildings. The chopper kept shaking. The crew was grim-faced but resigned. The pilot did something to take the pitch out of the rotors and the chopper started falling. <br /><br />“No need to worry,” the pilot said. “We’ll auto-rotate down. I’ve done it a dozen times.” <br /><br />Auto rotate down. Reese knew the concept, the technique helicopter pilots used to land when the engine failed. The trick was to find a safe place to hit the ground. <br /><br />Both engines went silent. The blades were flat now, the wind whistling through them, tying his stomach into a knot. <br /><br />“Brace for impact,” the pilot said. <br /><br />Below them, Reese spotted an open flat slab of asphalt in the yard of a small trucking firm -- the only possible landing site anywhere around. Trouble was it didn’t look wide enough to handle the blades. <br /><br />At the last second, the pilot flared the helicopter in an effort to slow the descent, then the ground rushed up and the chopper hit with a jolt that wracked Reese’s whole body. <br /><br />For an instant, he thought they were going to make it. Then one of the spinning rotor blades hit the corner of a building and tore free. The Plexiglas bubble shattered as the long metal blades exploded into a hundred deadly pieces, careening like knives through the air, slicing into buildings and the cabin of the helicopter. <br /><br />Reese didn’t feel the impact. One moment he was conscious, then the world suddenly went black. <p></p><p><b>Chapter Two <br />Four weeks later<br /> Dallas, Texas</b><br /> <br />For McKenzie Haines, her day as Executive Assistant to Reese Garrett, CEO of Garrett Resources, started as usual. After a few minutes spent with her assistant, Kenzie began her early morning briefing with Reese to go over his daily schedule and discuss what he needed her to do. <br /><br />Seated across the desk from him in his spacious office, she waited as he finished an unexpected phone call. With his wavy jet black hair and amazing blue eyes, Reese was one of the best-looking men Kenzie had ever seen. Keenly intelligent and highly successful, he was a combination of virile masculinity and brooding reserve that attracted women of every age, shape, and size. <br /><br />She could still see the faint scar on the side of his head near his temple from the helicopter crash that had killed two men and put Reese in the hospital. <br /><br />At the time of the accident, Kenzie had worked for the company only five months, but in that time, she had come to admire and respect her employer. She could still recall her sharp stab of fear when his brother, Chase, had phoned to inform her of the accident. <br /><br />Three days later, Reese was back at his desk, running the company with the iron control he was known for. Unfortunately, even now, four weeks after the incident, NTSB investigators remained unable to pinpoint the cause of the crash. Reese’s phone call ended and his dark head came up, his intense blue eyes swinging toward her, locking on her face. No matter how she worked to ignore it, Kenzie always felt the impact. <br /><br />“Where were we?” he asked. <br /><br />“You wanted me to reschedule your visit to the offshore platform.” <br /><br />“Yes. I’ve put it off too long already.” <br /><br />“I probably shouldn’t say this, but after what happened, I don’t blame you.” <br /><br />The corner of his mouth kicked up. “Maybe not, but I want this deal done. We’ve been working on it for months. We need to finish our due-diligence and make it end.” <br /><br />“Yes, sir. Would you like me to go with you?” Traveling with Reese when he needed her assistance was part of her job, though he hadn’t asked her to go with him the day of the crash, thank God. <br /><br />One of his rare smiles appeared. “You want to hold my hand in case I get scared in the chopper?” <br /><br />Kenzie laughed, a little embarrassed he had hit so close to the truth. She liked him, admired him. He could have died that day. “I just thought you might need me.” <br /><br />“Not this time,” Reese said. <br /><br />But Kenzie had watched him these past few weeks. The helicopter crash still weighed heavily on his mind. The authorities were investigating and so was Reese. <br /><br />Kenzie was certain Reese wouldn’t stop until he knew exactly what had happened that day -- and why two good men were dead. </p><p> <b>Buy the Book</b></p><p> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Perfect-Murder-Novel-Maximum-Security/dp/1335545301">Amazon</a> ~<a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-perfect-murder-kat-martin/1137483434?ean=9781335545305">B and N</a> ~ <a href="https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781335545305">Indiebound</a></p><p><a href="https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-perfect-murder-17">kobo</a> ~ <a href="https://play.google.com/store/books/details/Kat_Martin_The_Perfect_Murder?id=ZZD3DwAAQBAJ">Google</a> ~ <a href="https://books.apple.com/us/book/the-perfect-murder/id1527745223">Apple</a></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuFtDUsDQwPgZEZZTeSxL8MwFr_Ym2pVVtWg7ROXbyFxg45rtdk2D6gAhzzRJ6GNbcl9tLqyM_PphLiGo_1vZYdkvcgT3ELYB3FKNZzgqCAUYYisXDSYNK1A4KrHEEFWo9tHqkTK2fFrY/s2048/Kat+Martin+head+shot+%2528high+res%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1463" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuFtDUsDQwPgZEZZTeSxL8MwFr_Ym2pVVtWg7ROXbyFxg45rtdk2D6gAhzzRJ6GNbcl9tLqyM_PphLiGo_1vZYdkvcgT3ELYB3FKNZzgqCAUYYisXDSYNK1A4KrHEEFWo9tHqkTK2fFrY/s320/Kat+Martin+head+shot+%2528high+res%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p><b>Meet the Author</b><br /> <br /> New York Times bestselling author Kat Martin, a graduate of the University of California at Santa Barbara, currently resides in Missoula, Montana with Western-author husband, L.

Arrowed takes place in Santa Fe, New Mexico (the 47th state in the union, and Santa Fe is the oldest capitol city in US). I wanted to feature the fabulous food and drink in the story. I highlight the city’s Mexico heritage by featuring a wildly popular drink in Mexico, the Paloma, in the book and included my own take on the grapefruit and tequila drink. <br /><br />But for this feature I wanted to share my own twist on the Margarita. Santa Fe loves the lime and tequila cocktail so much that they even have a “Margarita Trail” with its own app complete with a map to find the forty-five different variations concocted just for the trail. The app also includes the recipes of the forty-five different Margaritas. Since Margaritas are a big deal in Santa Fe, I am sharing my own Margarita recipe that is easy to make, light and refreshing while easy on the liquor. <br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">The Grand Margarita </span></b></p><p><b>Ingredients </b><br /><br />1.5 ounces Grand Marnier <br /><br />1.5 ounces Tequilla (Margaritaville Gold or Reposado) <br /><br />1 can Frozen Limeade <br /><br />1 can Beer (Corona or Dos Equis are good) <br /><br />Lime juice and Tajin for rim <br /><br /><b>Directions by the glass: </b><br /><br />· In a pitcher mix the frozen limeade with two containers of water, set aside. This becomes your mix. <br /><br />· Use lime juice to wet rim of glass, then dip or roll in Tajin. <br /><br />· In a margarita glass add 1 shot of Grand Marnier, 1 shot of Tequila, and three shots of limeade mix. Top off the glass with beer and swirl.

The victim is a high profile businessman who made enemies rather than friends, leaving Julienne with a roster of suspects. She was supposed to be training the staff and spending quality time with Mason rather than investigating a murder.

Business at Belle View Banquet Manor, the catering hall she ran with her father, was brisk. The May and June calendar had boasted weddings every weekend, as well as smaller events, July was going well, and August looked to be a repeat of the previous successful months. Two murders at the manor in early spring hadn’t hurt business and may have helped. It’s like they say, Mia thought to herself while showering, the only bad publicity is no publicity. She toweled off, then headed to her bedroom, stepping over the prostrate Doorstop. Mia pulled on a pair of black linen capri pants and a snug purple tank top. She sniffed the air, suddenly redolent with the scent of butter and Italian sausage. “Mia, vieni,” her grandmother yelled from the apartment below in the two-family home the women shared. “Come. I made breakfast.”<br /><br />“Sto arrivando,” Mia yelled back. “I’ll be there in a minute.” There was no animus in either woman’s voice.<br /><br />Yelling to each other was simply the way the Carina family had always communicated. Mia scurried down the stairs and made her way through a small foyer into her grandmother’s modest first floor digs. Elisabetta Carina, dressed in her uniform of tracksuit and sneakers, stuck a fork into a sausage sizzling on top of her forty-plus-year-old oven and deposited it on a bed of fried onions and peppers already gracing a plate next to a pile of buttery scrambled eggs. Mia took a seat at the room’s decades-old dinette set. Elisabetta tore a hunk off a loaf of fresh Italian bread and added it to the plate, which she placed in front of Mia. “Mangia. Eat.”<br /><br />“Si. Grazie, Nonna.” Mia dug into the heavy breakfast, vowing to follow it up with a lunch of carrot and celery sticks. At least one meal in her day needed to be low-cal and less artery clogging.<br /><br />Elisabetta fixed herself a plate and took a seat across from Mia. “Did Minnie call you?”<br /><br />“Yes. She and Linda are gonna host a baby shower for Nicole at Belle View.” Mia sawed off a chunk of sausage and speared it, along with some peppers and eggs. “I’ll finally get to meet the infamous Tina.”<br /><br />“Tina. Puh.” Elisabetta made a stink face, then spit, as Minniguccia had done earlier. “Puttana. She stole Ron from right under poor Linda’s nebbia. Linda’s an angel. Never says a bad word about her. But we know what she is, a—”<br /><br />“Puttana,” Mia chorused with her grandmother. “I’ve heard that word more in the last hour than in my entire life. I almost feel sorry for this Tina.”<br /><br />A look of horror crossed Elisabetta’s face. She threw her hands in the air. “Marone, no! Never even think that. We are, what, how do you kids say it? We’re Team Linda.”<br /><br />“Linda’s insisting Tina be invited to the shower, so I think she’s made her peace with the situation. So, it’s more like we’re Team Minniguccia.”<br /><br />“This is why I don’t like sports,” Elisabetta grumbled.<br /><br />“Too many teams.”</div><div></div><div><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;"></span> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeAIjtN39ZSJwFHV6Kz5jPtVczczRDRcNxVYbvyvUctqSFlshIhLwJ1QuVBegZVXI20l97AM5_CSEMzKqfL9WGOPYzK-J5aEdecgEWVxmpwWswL7bms8Ck7kBcyICShMFvEjTWe2ZsJao/s346/LONG+ISLAND+ICED+TINA.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="346" data-original-width="235" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeAIjtN39ZSJwFHV6Kz5jPtVczczRDRcNxVYbvyvUctqSFlshIhLwJ1QuVBegZVXI20l97AM5_CSEMzKqfL9WGOPYzK-J5aEdecgEWVxmpwWswL7bms8Ck7kBcyICShMFvEjTWe2ZsJao/s320/LONG+ISLAND+ICED+TINA.jpg" /></a></div></div><div> </div><div><b>Long Island Iced Tina (A Catering Hall Mystery)<br /> Cozy Mystery<br /> 2nd in Series<br /> Publisher: Kensington (February 23, 2021)<br /> Mass Market Paperback: 288 pages<br /> ISBN-10: 1496725352<br /> ISBN-13: 978-1496725356<br /> Digital ASIN: B089NCJ9NS</b><br /><br /> <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54202346-long-island-iced-tina"><img src="https://i0.wp.com/www.escapewithdollycas.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/goodreads-badge-add-plus-d700d4d3e3c0b346066731ac07b7fe47.png?resize=130%2C41&ssl=1" /></a> <br /> <br /><br />Mia Carina is back in the borough of Queens — in charge of the family catering hall, Belle View Banquet Manor, and keeping her nonna company. But some events — like murder — are not the kind you can schedule. <br /><br />Mia’s newly pregnant friend Nicole plans to hold a shower at Belle View — but Nicole also has to attend one that her competitive (and mysteriously rich) stepmother, Tina, is throwing at the fanciest place in Queens. It’s a good chance for Mia to snoop on a competitor, especially since doing a search for “how to run a catering hall” can get you only so far.<br /> <br />Mia tags along at the lavish party, but the ambience suffers at Nicole’s Belle View shower when a fight breaks out—and then, oddly, a long-missing and valuable stolen painting is unwrapped by the mom-to-be. Tina is clearly shocked to see it. But not as shocked as Mia is when, soon afterward, she spots the lifeless body of a party guest floating in the marina. <br /><br />Italian recipes included! </div><div> <br /> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqeYotXhc_JVNZanR8ayE7KSs_hyttBYSkVGPHWC8knklTJg86adl9EI8P4Z-5gtpv7BlXudqNj1b2SFlgXbxL2cxUny_HVbHLInURk8W9msgseVTfxe57k-RhTM35VQ_LLB5QK67i0Cg/s369/ellem-byron.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="369" data-original-width="250" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqeYotXhc_JVNZanR8ayE7KSs_hyttBYSkVGPHWC8knklTJg86adl9EI8P4Z-5gtpv7BlXudqNj1b2SFlgXbxL2cxUny_HVbHLInURk8W9msgseVTfxe57k-RhTM35VQ_LLB5QK67i0Cg/s320/ellem-byron.jpg" /></a></div><br /></div><div></div><div><b>About Maria DiRico </b><br /> <br />Maria DiRico is the pseudonym for Ellen Byron, author of the award winning, USA Today bestselling Cajun Country Mysteries.

<br /><br />Bronwyn Crewse is delighted that Crewse Creamery, the ice cream shop her family has owned for decades, is restored to its former glory and serving sweet frozen treats to happy customers in the picturesque small town of Chagrin Falls, Ohio. But when a big city developer comes to town intent on building a mall, a killer with a frozen heart takes him out. <br /><br />After literally stumbling across the body, one of Win’s closest friends becomes the prime suspect, and to make things worse, Win’s aunt has come to town with the intention of taking command of Crewse Creamery. Even though Win has a rocky road ahead to help her friend and keep her ice cream shop, it’ll take more than a sprinkle of murder to stop her from solving the crime and saving the day. <br /><br /> </p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKDNGIJg175r4R-Wy9n-SHd_XEq-6wVWeULesq_dfcihGAgeGUXjiWeWx26RtIy-02_eNmIs74QqUnW6U2VQ8MCyFroPnl8JMucjEKtSndruGjhi8j4CsvaOkxEwftxmaDRpLNEF681CQ/s2048/Abby+Pro+2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1638" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKDNGIJg175r4R-Wy9n-SHd_XEq-6wVWeULesq_dfcihGAgeGUXjiWeWx26RtIy-02_eNmIs74QqUnW6U2VQ8MCyFroPnl8JMucjEKtSndruGjhi8j4CsvaOkxEwftxmaDRpLNEF681CQ/s320/Abby+Pro+2.jpg" /></a></div><p><br /><b>About Abby Collette </b><br /><br />Abby L.

When a dogged reporter with an eye for scandal who’s been covering the competition is attacked and left for dead, Merry’s determined to discover who orchestrated the heinous deed. <br /><br />Her long list of suspects is filled with eccentric personalities, including a promiscuous tenor known for making unwanted overtures, a pampered young prodigy and her meddlesome mother, and a quiet up-and-comer whose shadowy uncle may have ties to the underworld. As the musical contest and Merry’s investigation near their finale, she’ll have to act fast to keep a conniving contestant from plotting out her final act. <br /><br /> </p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHhffmbCZ8IZzSH2-qFLjSyGCHYmXPR0vozwsKU8rMEOy0E75a3LVuoBAD7zoxNZTJ1wiIn2KgfUuc6206k2NEMHA1kkH5EIyL-MhLyt3xII2jEAFbJ_3_9T4uKYFxNqKL0YmVTaj5uko/s1119/VictoriaDesk.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1099" data-original-width="1119" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHhffmbCZ8IZzSH2-qFLjSyGCHYmXPR0vozwsKU8rMEOy0E75a3LVuoBAD7zoxNZTJ1wiIn2KgfUuc6206k2NEMHA1kkH5EIyL-MhLyt3xII2jEAFbJ_3_9T4uKYFxNqKL0YmVTaj5uko/s320/VictoriaDesk.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><b>About Victoria Hamilton</b><br /><p></p><p>Victoria Hamilton is the bestselling author of several mystery series including the national bestselling Vintage Kitchen Mysteries and Merry Muffin Mysteries. She does, indeed, collect vintage kitchenware and bake muffins. She drinks tea and coffee on writing days, and wine other times. It doesn’t do to confuse days. She crochets (a little), paints (a little) and reads (a lot). A solitary being, she can be coaxed out of her writing cave for brownies and cat videos. <br /><br />She started her writing life as Donna Lea Simpson, bestselling author of Regency Romances, paranormal historicals and historical mysteries, and still has a soft spot for the Regency period. <br /><br />If you Google ‘Victoria Hamilton’, you will find listed first a famous actress who starred as the Queen Mother in the series The Crown and as Charlotte Brontë in ‘In Search of the Brontës’. That’s not the Victoria who writes mysteries. <br /><br />No, really, it’s not! <br /><br />You can find her buried in a good book, (entombed in a good tome?) or online at: <br /><br /><b>Website:</b> <a href="http://www.victoriahamiltonmysteries.com/">http://www.VictoriaHamiltonMysteries.com</a> (Sign up for her annoyingly infrequent newsletter for all the latest!) <br /><b><br />On Facebook:</b> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AuthorVictoriaHamilton">https://www.facebook.com/AuthorVictoriaHamilton</a> <br /><br /><b>On Twitter:</b> <a href="https://twitter.com/MysteryVictoria">https://twitter.com/MysteryVictoria</a> <br /><br /><b>Instagram:</b> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mysteryauthorvictoriahamilton/">https://www.instagram.com/mysteryauthorvictoriahamilton/</a> <br /><br /><b>Amazon Author Page:</b> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/author/victoriahamilton">amazon.com/author/victoriahamilton</a> <br /><b><br />Goodreads Author Profile: </b><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/598635.Victoria_Hamilton">Victoria Hamilton</a> <br /><b><br />Purchase Links –</b> <a href="https://amzn.to/3oeVVXP">Amazon</a> – <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/double-or-muffin-victoria-hamilton/1138648947?ean=9781950461981">B and N</a> – <a href="https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/double-or-muffin">Kobo</a> – <a href="https://play.google.com/store/books/details/Victoria_Hamilton_Double_or_Muffin?id=_PwVEAAAQBAJ">Google Play</a> – <br /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

They were not used to me looking at them sternly. <br /><br /> “We order one meat, one vegetarian, one seafood and one pasta entree.” <br /><br /> “Pasta doesn’t count as vegetarian?” <br /><br /> That was Jenny, a mother of three with the body of a sixteen-year-old that she proudly claims is the result of her dedicated meat-and-potatoes-only diet. She was probably worried that I was going to make her order eggplant. <br /><br /> “No. Pasta doesn’t count as vegetarian,” I explained. “Some restaurants like to think it counts as vegetarian, but that’s how vegetarians get fat. That and too much cheese. No, a real vegetarian entrée is about vegetables. Maybe with grains or legumes, but the focus is on vegetables, like a ratatouille.” <br /><br /> “Sorry I asked,” Jenny muttered to Miles, who was sitting next to her and had been quietly entertaining himself by checking out the other patrons at the Bayview Grille. “What’s a legume anyway?” she asked him. <br /><br /> Miles looked at her like she’d just arrived from Mars. Miles is a farmer. What he doesn’t know about legumes isn’t worth knowing. “Beans, lentils, chickpeas, that kind of thing,” he said. “How do you not know that?” <br /><br /> Jenny shuddered. “I don’t eat ‘that kind of thing.’ ” <br /><br /> I tried to continue with their instructions. “Appetizers can be anything you like…” <br /><br /> “Well, hallelujah,” Miles said. He poked Jenny in the side with one massive elbow, almost knocking her off her chair. “I’d like that cutie pie over there at the bar.” <br /><br /> I ignored him. <br /><br /> “Anything you like,” I repeated, “but it needs to make sense with your entrée.” <br /><br /> “I’m lost,” said Helene, running a ring-bejeweled hand through her mane of silver curls. Helene was Fair Haven’s new librarian. I’d known her exactly 24 hours and couldn’t imagine anyone less like a librarian. <br /><br /> “I’ve been eating out for 40 years,” she said, “and I never once worried if my appetizer made sense with my entrée. I don’t even know what that means.” <br /><br /> I sighed. Well, no one had ever said writing restaurant reviews for the Cape Cod Clarion was going to be easy. Actually, I reflected, that wasn’t true. I was the one who had said it would be easy. <br /><br /> I tried to clarify. “It means that if you’re having the hanger steak for your entrée…” <br /><br /> “That’s mine!” Jenny said, suddenly all in. “I call I claim the hanger steak.” <br /><br /> I call I claim? What is she, six? <br /><br /> “And a half dozen Wellfleet oysters to start,” she added. <br /><br /> Jenny always had oysters to start. And, as these were Wellfleet oysters, which are universally acknowledged to be the best on the Cape (and all Cape Cod oysters are awesome), I was surprised she wasn’t starting with a dozen. <br /><br /> “That’s fine,” I said. “A classic pairing.” <br /><br /> I turned back to Helene. “If, like Jenny, you’re having the hanger steak,” I explained, “you don’t want to order the barbeque sliders as a starter.” <br /><br /> She nodded thoughtfully. At least Helene was taking this seriously. But then she ruined it by saying, “Actually, barbeque followed by steak sounds yummy.” <br /><br /> I gave up. <br /><br /> “I’ll order for all of you,” I announced. “And once we get our food and you’ve had a chance to taste and consider your choices, I will discretely exchange plates with each of you, one by one, and sample each dish. Then we’ll discretely switch back again. We’ll go clockwise around the table, starting with Helene.” <br /><br /> “I’m lost again,” Helene fake-whispered to Miles. <br /><br /> “Don’t you worry, honey,” he said. “Wait until she gets a glass or two of wine into her. Then we can do whatever we want.” <br /><br /> He grinned at me, looking exactly like the overgrown five-year-old he was. If five year olds had big, hairy lumberjack beards. <br /><br /> I began to worry for real. My dining companions were definitely not taking my first foray into restaurant reviewing seriously enough. And Miles was right about the two glasses of wine. I was a notoriously cheap date. But I was also the night’s designated driver, so no worries there. <br /><br /> “No wine for me,” I said firmly, more to myself than to Miles. “Even if it kills me.” <br /><br /> A poor choice of words, as it turned out.<br /><br /> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKtOKVtQfGusbQiW_pIxXgPiZmawJ5UWJqGo1nLmi7goD8WPGawr7XoObGgOnOHucNSiXmFoku3HqXNwGaOhYPhb-HN10csZT1xPAMx9nFeo11qFtl3pat7mdRgHFAMDH_lANRZ94PEuc/s500/A+SIDE+OF+MURDER.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="310" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKtOKVtQfGusbQiW_pIxXgPiZmawJ5UWJqGo1nLmi7goD8WPGawr7XoObGgOnOHucNSiXmFoku3HqXNwGaOhYPhb-HN10csZT1xPAMx9nFeo11qFtl3pat7mdRgHFAMDH_lANRZ94PEuc/s320/A+SIDE+OF+MURDER.jpg" /></a></div><br /></div><div></div>A Side of Murder (A Cape Cod Foodie Mystery)<br />Cozy Mystery<br /> 1st in Series<br /> Publisher: Berkley (February 23, 2021)<br /> Mass Market Paperback: 320 pages<br /> ISBN-10: 0593199146<br /> ISBN-13: 978-0593199145<br /> Digital ASIN: B087PL9HHF<div><br /> <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53289229-a-side-of-murder"><img src="https://i0.wp.com/www.escapewithdollycas.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/goodreads-badge-add-plus-d700d4d3e3c0b346066731ac07b7fe47.png?resize=130%2C41&ssl=1" /></a> <br /> <br /><br />Beautiful Cape Cod, Massachusetts, is known for seafood, sand, surf and now … murder. <br /><br />Samantha Barnes was always a foodie. And when the CIA (that’s the Culinary Institute of America) came calling, she happily traded in Cape Cod for the Big Apple. But then the rising young chef’s clash with another chef (her ex!) boils over and goes viral. So when Sam inherits a house on the Cape and lands a job writing restaurant reviews, it seems like the perfect pairing. What could go wrong? Well, as it turns out, a lot. <br /><br />The dilapidated house comes with an enormous puppy. Her new boss is, well, bossy. And the town’s harbor master is none other than her first love. Nonetheless, Sam’s looking forward to reviewing the Bayview Grill — and indeed the seafood chowder is divine. But the body in the pond outside the eatery was not on the menu. Sam is certain this is murder. But as she begins to stir the pot, is she creating a recipe for her own untimely demise? <br /><br />“Cape Cod provides a stunning background for a debut that offers the ideal combination of mystery, romance, and recipes.” Kirkus Reviews <br /><br />“An exquisite Cape Cod setting, a shamed but resilient chef, murderous secrets, and a long-buried but still steaming romance… Amy Pershing’s debut mystery will leave you longing for a seaside vacation, complete with fried clams and the next book in her charming series.” Lucy Burdette, national bestselling author of THE KEY LIME CRIME <br /><br />“This is one of the freshest, funniest murder mysteries I’ve ever read. I fell absolutely in love with Samantha Barnes — the brave, sarcastic, crime-solving, relatable heroine we’ve all been waiting for. A Side of Murder is a rich, satisfying meal that delights from beginning to end, and Amy Pershing is a wonderful and clever author.” Elizabeth Gilbert, #1 New York Times bestselling author of EAT PRAY LOVE and CITY OF GIRLS <br /><br />“A delicious mystery lovingly set in Cape Cod featuring a cast of charming characters. Amy Pershing writes with a fresh fun voice that will delight cozy fans. Chef turned restaurant critic Samantha Barnes proves a clever sleuth whose helpful cooking tips will be a big hit with culinary readers.” Krista Davis, New York Times bestselling author of the DOMESTIC DIVA mysteries <br /> <br /> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIYISzS1SWcDKKsvSayyIGChGBnKvEJPuGy_DYgYstMKXKWhRFEEP3By288y2S9z6NqucMA-QL_g5p-O6Sog6TlQTpKRGxPBtVX8wlqvCbuOvSnQ_PXHue2oOPJqYNIO2uGGRTNwPjPFI/s2048/AC+Pershing+%25282%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1866" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIYISzS1SWcDKKsvSayyIGChGBnKvEJPuGy_DYgYstMKXKWhRFEEP3By288y2S9z6NqucMA-QL_g5p-O6Sog6TlQTpKRGxPBtVX8wlqvCbuOvSnQ_PXHue2oOPJqYNIO2uGGRTNwPjPFI/s320/AC+Pershing+%25282%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div></div><div> </div><div><b>About Amy Pershing </b><br /><br />Amy Pershing is a lifelong mystery lover and wordsmith who spent every summer of her childhood on Cape Cod. In her previous incarnations she was an assistant editor at Viking Penguin, a restaurant reviewer for Playbill magazine’s Restaurant Reporter, and a journalist at the Rome (Italy) Daily American before eventually going on to lead employee communications at a global bank. A few years ago (with the final college tuition bill paid), she waved goodbye to Wall Street in order to write full time (and spend more time sailing on Cape Cod!). A Side of Murder is the first book in the Cape Cod Foodie mystery series featuring Samantha Barnes, a disgraced but resilient ex-chef and the world’s most reluctant YouTube star. While Sam tries to balance her new job as the local paper’s “Cape Cod Foodie” with her complicated love life, a posse of just-slightly-odd friends, a falling-down house and a ginormous puppy, she also discovers a new talent – a propensity for falling over dead bodies … and for solving crime. <br /><br /><b>Website:</b> <a href="https://amypershingauthor.com/">https://amypershingauthor.com/</a> <br /><br /><b>Facebook:</b> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/amypershingauthor">https://www.facebook.com/amypershingauthor</a> <br /><br /><b>Instagram:</b> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/amypershingauthor/?hl=en">https://www.instagram.com/amypershingauthor/?hl=en</a> <br /><br /><b>Goodreads: </b><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/20632873.Amy_Pershing">https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/20632873.Amy_Pershing</a> <br /><br /><b>Purchase Links </b><br /><br /><a href="https://amzn.to/3nCgEER">Amazon</a> – <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/a-side-of-murder-amy-pershing/1136927973?ean=9780593199145">Barnes and Noble</a> – <a href="https://bookshop.org/books/a-side-of-murder/9780593199145">Bookshop.org</a> – <a href="https://www.booksamillion.com/p/9780593199145?AID=10747236&PID=8373827&SID=PRHEFFDF5A7F1--9780593199145&cjevent=477b4be5d8be11ea83b6019d0a240611">Books A Million</a> – <a href="https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780593199145?aff=penguinrandom">Indiebound</a> – <a href="https://www.target.com/p/a-side-of-murder-a-cape-cod-foodie-mystery-by-amy-pershing-paperback/-/A-80028439">Target</a> – <a href="https://www.hudsonbooksellers.com/book/9780593199145?utm_source=prh&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_term=301&utm_content=PRHEFFDF5A7F1--9780593199145&utm_campaign=9780593199145">Hudson Booksellers</a> – <a href="https://www.powells.com/book/-9780593199145?utm_source=randomhouse&utm_campaign=randomhouse&utm_content=PRHEFFDF5A7F1--9780593199145">Powells</a></div><div> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Giveaway</span></b><br /></div><div> <br /><a href="https://www.blogger.com/#">http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/028877921169</a> <br /><b><br />Please follow the rest of the tour here, thanks:</b><br /> <br /><a href="https://www.blogger.com/#">https://www.escapewithdollycas.com/great-escapes-virtual-book-tours/upcoming-great-escapes-book-tours/a-side-of-murder-a-cape-cod-foodie-mystery-by-amy-pershing</a></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

However, since she was in charge of tonight’s event, she had no choice but to help get the investigation off on the right foot.<br /><br />She also needed to stay strong until she could surrender control of the situation to Gage and bolt for the sanctuary of her home. Once there, her plans included a stiff drink—or maybe several—to be followed by a good cry in the shower. Until then, she drew a calming breath and continued talking. “I’ll stay up here with my mother to make sure the crime scene doesn’t become more contaminated than it already has been.”<br /><br />When Tripp finally managed to get a word in, the ensuing roar coming from his end of the call had her holding the phone out at arm’s length until he ran out of breath. If she were forced to pick a winner in tonight’s Shout at Abby McCree Contest, Tripp would take the grand prize. Not only had he hollered at her on the phone, he would soon have physical proximity, giving him an unfair advantage over the chief of police. Gage had left right after the movie ended, so all he could do was rail at her over the phone until he’d finally hung up to rally his troops. As soon as she told Tripp what they’d discovered, he snarled several of those words he always ended up apologizing for as he pelted up the slope with Owen Quinn in hot pursuit.<br /><br />It was hard to judge how well her mother was handling the situation as they waited for the two men to reach them.<br /><br />Realizing her mother still had on the bloody gloves, Abby pointed the flashlight at her mother’s hands. “Why don’t you peel those off? I’m guessing Gage will want them.”<br /><br />Her mother stared at the bloody gloves and shuddered.<br /><br />After she stripped them off, Abby held out a clean glove from her pack. “Here, stick them inside this.”<br /><br />Then she glanced back down the hillside. “Please don’t get upset with Tripp for anything he might say or do when he gets here. He doesn’t take it well when stuff like this happens to me.”<br /><br />Her mother latched on to Abby’s arm, her facial expression a volatile mix of emotions. “And you think I’m any happier about it? Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this the fourth dead body you’ve found since you moved here?”<br /><br />The fact that her mom spoke in a low voice didn’t make her worry and anger any less potent than that of the police chief or the man who was now only a few yards away and closing fast. Feeling a bit defensive, Abby said, “It’s not like I go looking for trouble, especially this kind.”<br /><br />She aimed that comment at her mother, but Tripp was the one who responded. “Maybe not, but it sure seems to find you anyway.”</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9eLKFSOxVOi7nHcIzHRgpjFaMiQ1iRAgEkgtuKxDhxIHx7qQLbSiM4HJJj_SB6Y3xvp8FWW68aDAzF7U_1ydqNu62fpQas5b-NJ0poezMGp8Ozzntju5ybZzvPDXF46clfyOypGqG1CU/s2048/Death+By+Intermission.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1389" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9eLKFSOxVOi7nHcIzHRgpjFaMiQ1iRAgEkgtuKxDhxIHx7qQLbSiM4HJJj_SB6Y3xvp8FWW68aDAzF7U_1ydqNu62fpQas5b-NJ0poezMGp8Ozzntju5ybZzvPDXF46clfyOypGqG1CU/s320/Death+By+Intermission.jpg" /></a></div><br /></div> <b>Death by Intermission (An Abby McCree Mystery) <br />Cozy Mystery<br /> 4th in Series<br /> Publisher: Kensington (January 26, 2021)<br /> Mass Market Paperback: 336 pages<br /> ISBN-10: 1496731255<br /> ISBN-13: 978-1496731258<br /> Digital ASIN: B087Z9CVW8</b><p><br /> <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53330834-death-by-intermission"><img src="https://i0.wp.com/www.escapewithdollycas.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/goodreads-badge-add-plus-d700d4d3e3c0b346066731ac07b7fe47.png?resize=130%2C41&ssl=1" /></a> <br /> <br /><br />Abby McCree spends a summer showing family films under the stars — only to end the season with an unexpected slasher flick. <br /><br />Ushered once again onto another committee by the mayor of Snowberry Creek, Washington, Abby is tasked with keeping the box office receipts of the town’s Movies in the Park nights. Cut to the director’s chair from where she’s suddenly organizing the summer’s last feature. From the opening scene through the final credits, Abby feels she’s earned nominations for best volunteer, best movie date with her tenant Tripp Blackston — and best daughter for ignoring her mother Phoebe’s own movie date with Owen Quinn. <br /><br />Unfortunately, Abby and the others are treated to a post-credits scene: the body of local insurance agent Mitchell Anders. This discovery is followed by a plot twist revealing that the murder weapon comes from Owen’s food truck. With her mother’s boyfriend suspected of murder, Abby starts her own investigation determined to shine a spotlight on the real killer. <br /></p><p> <br /></p><p> </p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-a1XmT1kxWa4ufP1Hei0ZjyDps_igrLS35MZ9rvqrLn04HawihRG3ekMIT8wVQvYkAvSuyXAbwR5Ts7txXpLQ_JKrtGY7l1vEAquxZ5nvemFxK_G4-hLoeklWwTYxTWIu5dgfyWI2YSw/s450/Morgan%252C+Alexis+-+Credit+Lumina+Photography.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="300" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-a1XmT1kxWa4ufP1Hei0ZjyDps_igrLS35MZ9rvqrLn04HawihRG3ekMIT8wVQvYkAvSuyXAbwR5Ts7txXpLQ_JKrtGY7l1vEAquxZ5nvemFxK_G4-hLoeklWwTYxTWIu5dgfyWI2YSw/s320/Morgan%252C+Alexis+-+Credit+Lumina+Photography.jpg" /></a></div><p></p><p><b>About Alexis Morgan </b><br /><br />Alexis Morgan is the USA Today bestselling author of over forty-five novels, novellas, and short stories that span a variety of genres: American West historicals (as Pat Pritchard); paranormal and fantasy romances; contemporary romances; and cozy mysteries.

In a rare move of rebellion, Trudell rescues hundreds of her library’s beloved books slated for the recycle center. She sets up a secret book room in the library’s basement and opens it to anyone who shares her love of the printed book. <br /><br />When the town councilman, who was the vocal proponent of the library’s transformation into a “futuristic technological center,” is crushed under an overturned shelf of DVDs, Trudell becomes the police’s prime suspect for his murder. She was the only person in the library at the time of his death, or so the police believe. But that’s not true. For the past month, Trudell had been letting a few dozen residents into the building through the basement entrance so they could read and check out the printed books. <br /><br />But if she tells the police about the backdoor patrons who were in the library at the time of the murder, she’d have to explain about the secret book room and risk losing the books. In order to protect herself from being arrested for a murder she didn’t commit, Trudell – with the help of a group of dedicated readers – decides to investigate. She quickly discovers you can’t always judge a book by its cover. <br /> <br /> </p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoJwu_ZEkiw_zQUq_8L2D5ynSnuPs-4yNn0CUTAqpJUKIIqesBpAKN5VgrVpQAh6OO6oZHa85VSOmAqyhDzX5ZJqJ_nkKa0TCWmEou7m97QC0TDQeH0fKQjHwpq1DexgIG5eg8tYB_LQo/s480/dorothystjames+%2528Small%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="383" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoJwu_ZEkiw_zQUq_8L2D5ynSnuPs-4yNn0CUTAqpJUKIIqesBpAKN5VgrVpQAh6OO6oZHa85VSOmAqyhDzX5ZJqJ_nkKa0TCWmEou7m97QC0TDQeH0fKQjHwpq1DexgIG5eg8tYB_LQo/s320/dorothystjames+%2528Small%2529.jpg" /></a></div><p><br /><b>About Dorothy St. James </b><br /> <br />Mystery author Dorothy St. James was born in New York but raised in South Carolina. She makes her home on an artsy island community in South Carolina with her husband, a crazy dog, and fluffy cat. Though writing has always been a passion for her, she pursued an undergraduate degree in Wildlife Biology and a graduate degree in Public Administration and Urban Planning. She put her educational experience to use, having worked in all branches and all levels of government including local, regional, state, and federal. She even spent time during college working for a non-profit environmental watchdog organization. <br /><br />Switching from government service and community planning to fiction writing wasn’t as big of a change as some might think. Her government work was all about the stories of the people and the places where they live. As an urban planner, Dorothy loved telling the stories of the people she met. And from that, her desire to tell the tales that were so alive in her heart grew until she could not ignore it any longer. In 2001, she took a leap of faith and pursued her dream of writing fiction full-time. <br /><br />Dorothy St. James is the alter-ego of award-winning multi-published author, Dorothy McFalls. She enjoys writing in several different genres.

And when the CIA (that’s the Culinary Institute of America) came calling, she happily traded in Cape Cod for the Big Apple. But then the rising young chef’s clash with another chef (her ex!) boils over and goes viral. So when Sam inherits a house on the Cape and lands a job writing restaurant reviews, it seems like the perfect pairing. What could go wrong? Well, as it turns out, a lot. <br /><br />The dilapidated house comes with an enormous puppy. Her new boss is, well, bossy. And the town’s harbormaster is none other than her first love. Nonetheless, Sam’s looking forward to reviewing the Bayview Grill—and indeed the seafood chowder is divine. But the body in the pond outside the eatery was not on the menu. Sam is certain this is murder. But as she begins to stir the pot, is she creating a recipe for her own untimely demise? <br /><br /><b><a href="https://amzn.to/35hvA4K">Pre-order Your Copy Today! </a> <br /><br /><a href="https://amzn.to/35hvA4K">Amazon</a> - <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/a-side-of-murder-amy-pershing/1136927973?ean=9780593199145">B and N</a> - <a href="https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/a-side-of-murder">Kobo</a> - <a href="https://play.google.com/store/books/details/Amy_Pershing_A_Side_of_Murder?id=yw_fDwAAQBAJ">Google Play</a> - <a href="https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780593199145">IndieBound</a></b> <br /><br /><b>About Amy Pershing </b><br /><br />Amy Pershing is a lifelong mystery lover and wordsmith. She was an editor, a restaurant reviewer, and a journalist before leading employee communications at a global bank. A few years ago (with the final college tuition bill paid), she waved goodbye to Wall Street to write full time (and spend more time sailing on the Cape!). A Side of Murder, the first of the Cape Cod Foodie mysteries, is her debut novel.<p></p><p><!--[if !mso]>
