A high school reunion comes to an abrupt end when the dead body of the class jock shocks the school’s gymnasium in this cozy mystery debut, perfect for fans of Ellery Adams and Jenn McKinlay.

Belinda Bishop is unemployed and single. At thirty-two, her journalism career feels stuck and let’s not even speak about her love life, which isn’t helping her look forward to her upcoming high school reunion. Stuck working at her parent’s seaside cottage and RV park in Nova Scotia for the time being, she needs time to regroup and come up with a killer story to get her career and her life back on track.     

When she literally stumbles across the dead body of the philandering class jock at the reunion, the party quickly comes to a stop. At first, it seems like the perfect opportunity for Belinda to channel her inner Christianne Amanpour, until her childhood best friend-turned-nemesis Jolene Dexter is declared the prime suspect. Despite their falling out, Belinda is convinced the former pageant queen is innocent.

As the two women struggle to put aside their differences, they have to work together to catch the real murderer before this sleepy coastal town is rocked to its foundations. Goodreads

Hi Roy... this is a story I could totally get involved with. Problem is that I probably wouldn't be able to put down the book.

Hi Roy- So many books, so little time to read them. If I had them all here, they would cover my office.
