Book Description

Piper Monroe can't decide which is worse--getting dumped at the altar by her louse of a fiancé, or finding out he left her for her own cousin Tammi. Humiliated and temporarily homeless, Piper goes on the cruise that was supposed to be her honeymoon. Unfortunately, it's only after she sets sail that Piper discovers her ex-fiancé and Tammi are on board as well. She may be on her own personal nightmare of a vacation, but at least Piper has some fascinating fellow passengers to watch while on board: namely, the pampered and pushy reality show star Bebe Bosley. But when Bebe keels over from a fatal dose of poison, one of her flashy necklaces turns up hidden under Tammi's mattress. While Piper may be furious over Tammi's cheating ways, she doesn't believe her cousin capable of murder. A little sleuthing uncovers a surplus of suspects with plenty of reasons to off Bebe. Now it's up to Piper and her potty-mouthed parakeet to get to the bottom of the murder before the killer goes overboard to end her meddling ways . . . The perfect beach bag book, Death in a Deck Chair is an uproariously funny cozy murder mystery with a sassy Southern sleuth who'll have you laughing all the way up the gangplank.

Book Description

Halloween in the small town of Fallingbrook, Wisconsin, is the perfect season for Deputy Donut owner Emily Westhill to unmask a killer. October 31 is just around the corner and Emily Westhill’s Boston cream donuts, carved with a scream, have made an indelible impression on local eccentric Rich Royalson. So much so that he’s ordered three dozen, with no screaming faces and twice the fudge frosting, for his seventieth birthday—a special event in more ways than one. It’s to be held on fog-shrouded Lake Fleekom where, twenty years ago, his wife mysteriously drowned. But the next day, when Emily arrives with her Boston cream donuts, she stumbles upon Rich’s corpse. The poor guy wanted a unique birthday bash—just not one to the side of his skull. With a guest list of possible perpetrators left at the scene, Emily soon discovers that the Royalson closet is rattling with skeletons. As the fog thickens, motives mount, and the tricks outnumber the treats, Emily fears that Rich may not be the last one in Fallingbrook to go out screaming. Praise for Jealousy Filled Donuts “Charming . . . Yummy donut recipes round out a whodunit (or is it a whodonut?) sure to please cozy fans.” —Publishers Weekly
