The Cha-Cha Babes of Pelican Way by Frances Metzman

About the Book


The Cha-Cha Babes of Pelican Way Cozy Mystery Wild River Consulting & Publishing, LLC (June 21, 2018) Paperback: 506 pages ISBN-10: 9781941948064 ISBN-13: 978-1941948064 Digital ASIN: B07CV2GP9Z
Would you move a dead body for the sake of your best friend? Ask cha-cha babe Celia Ewing, a sixty-five-year-old widow who has just settled into Boca Pelicano Palms, the Florida retirement community of her dreams. When Celia’s best friend Marcy calls her and their friend Deb for help in the middle of the night, they find a naked Marcy trapped under the body of her beau, the community’s board president, Melvin. And he’s dead. The three friends secretly move Melvin back to his apartment setting off a chain of events that will threaten to tear their community apart and send them to jail. Melvin is one of a number of residents who are dying under suspicious circumstances; and soon Celia becomes an amateur sleuth in an attempt to identify what she suspects is a serial murderer.
Filled with humorous, witty observations about retirement communities, the realities of getting older, and the promise of new love, the Cha-Cha Babes of Pelican Way celebrates the deep bonds of female friendships, the desire for companionship at any age, and shows us that it’s never too late to learn how to cha-cha through life.

The Plunge by Nancy G. West

The Plunge, A Lake Mystery (Aggie Mundeen Mystery) by Nancy G. West

 

About the Book


The Plunge (Aggie Mundeen Lake Mystery) Cozy Mystery 1st in Series (Spin-Off of previous series with this character.) Wildside Press (October 9, 2018) Paperback: 136 pages ISBN-10: 1479449326 ISBN-13: 978-1479449323 Digital ASIN: B07J5K8DDG
When Aggie Mundeen accompanies San Antonio Detective Sam Vanderhoven on a weekend getaway to Lake Placid, she thinks it’s going to be fun in the sun. What could be better than caretaking a friend’s cottage on the Guadalupe River in Central Texas? Never mind that Sam intends to discretely investigate the theft of that friend’s boat... Unfortunately, the weather has plans of its own. Buckets of rain and gusting winds roil the lake, turning the peaceful Guadalupe into an angry, raging river. As darkness descends, lightning reveals two people arguing on a dock across the river. When lightning flashes again, they are gone. Did Aggie and Sam witness an accident? A drowning? A murder? The Plunge sweeps readers along with the threat of looming disaster, helpless before an untamable force, where sleuthing takes a back seat to survival...
