The Corpse in the Cabana
Publisher Description
Successful author Viola Roberts is headed to a writers' conference at an exotic Florida resort complete with white sand beaches and swaying palm trees. She plans to lounge in the shade drinking frosty beverages with little umbrellas while catching up on her never ending to-be-read pile. And, of course, no sojourn to tropical climes would be complete without her boozy, wise-cracking best friend and fellow author, Cheryl.
When Viola discovers the diva of the author world dead (as a doornail) of unnatural causes, the police immediately consider her their prime suspect. But when the head detective turns a gimlet eye on Viola's best friend, the author has had enough! Along with help from hunky fellow writer, Lucas Salvatore, Viola is determined to ascertain who killed the corpse in the cabana before she, or Cheryl, wind up in jail. Or worse.
The Corpse in the Cabana is the first in the bookish cozy mystery series, Viola Roberts Cozy Mysteries set (mostly) in the quaint seaside town of Astoria, Oregon.
"Fun and fresh, with a twisty, clever plot that will have you turning pages right to the end." -Cheryl Bradshaw, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Sloane Monroe mysteries.
Customer Reviews
An interesting first in the series
I quite enjoyed this and look forward to reading the next
Good, quick, thoroughly enjoyable read
Fast paced action, likeable heroine with fun friends, a nip of romance with tall/dark/handsome (and rich), with enough intelligent dialogue to capture attention and keep the reader in the story.
Promising
It’s a little repetitious, needs more dialogue, and a bit of romance and it would be perfect. The humor is there!
It’s a fast read. Try it, you’ll like it if you give it a chance. The next book looks even better…
