Cassie
Cruise wants her life back as a kick-ass P.I. Trouble is, she has zero
credibility since bungling a case on reality TV. After a public tantrum, she
slinks off to bury her head in the sandy beaches of Southwest Florida.
Just as
she starts over as the owner of The Big Prick Tattoo Shop, a body is discovered
in the trunk of her burning car. Cassie's aware there are those who'd get in
line for their turn to torch her car. But murder?
You
don't have to like her, but you damn well better respect her. And get out of
her way—this is one case she intends to solve, with or without an audience.
Maggie King - Murder at the Book Group (Simon & Schuster, Pocket Books) December 30, 2014
Nothing can kill a good book group discussion
like cold-blooded murder. Especially when the victim is one of the group’s own.
Cyanide is the topic du jour for the mystery fanatics of Murder on Tour, but
for their poor hostess, Carlene Arness—who just published her own whodunit—it
makes for a surprise ending. One minute, Carlene is speaking animatedly about
featuring the poison in her new book. The next, she’s slumped over in a chair,
dead from a sip of tea. Did the writer take her research too far? Or did one of
the group’s members take a love of true crime to the extreme?
Founding member Hazel Rose is rounding up
suspects. Any of her fellow bibliophiles could be the killer. And she soon
discovers that almost all of them had a motive. Even Hazel herself, whose
ex-husband married Carlene, could be accused of harboring jealousy. The truth
is, Carlene wasn’t just hard to read, she was also hard to like—and the
scandalous secrets Hazel unearths would make Carlene’s idol, Agatha Christie,
turn over in her grave.
