‘[P]erfect blend of quirky mystery and sun-drenched beach atmosphere, making it the quintessential vacation read.’ — NetGalley
DEC. 2000. In sun-drenched South Florida, scams are as common as tourists. To pick up some holiday spending cash, a pair of eccentric, macabre tween girls start a business to expose them.
Their investigation of a self-proclaimed ‘mystic’ suspected of exploiting widows unwittingly pulls them into a bizarre criminal conspiracy with whispers from the beyond and world-altering stakes. Dragged right along with them are their laidback surfer guardian and a guitar-rocking ER nurse whose mother might have been murdered.
By the time the adults realize what the girls stumbled onto, it’s too late to back out. Once the pieces fall into place, twists and surprises come fast and furious. Can the unlikely team survive the countdown to Christmas Day as the body count rises? Can they stop what’s coming before the world is forever changed?
Heart and humor combine with action and suspense in this zany mystery about love, loss, and two unforgettable girls who refuse to quit.
ADVANCE REVIEWS FROM NETGALLEY:
‘If you’re searching for a fast-paced, genuinely comedic mystery to tuck into your beach bag, look no further. … [A] completely unique story, a breath of fresh air that feels unlike anything else on the current mystery shelf.’
‘I can’t remember if I’ve ever used the word ‘Delightful’ to describe a book in all my reviews—any book. But author Dorian Box knows the incredible recipe to conjure up a mystery/comedy/heart-tugging concoction that can only be described as a pure delight, the reading equivalent of a triple scoop of your favorite ice cream.’
‘[T]his book is FUNNY. The banter between Jessica and Gigi alone had me bursting into laughter on the subway. … [A]n excellent book and I highly recommend it for anyone who wants a thriller that is still uplifting and heartwarming.’
‘Jessica and Gigi absolutely made this book. They’re weird, chaotic, awkward, smart … Underneath all the humor and craziness, there’s actually a pretty emotional story about grief, responsibility, and found family … [Q]uirky, funny, heartfelt, and different from the typical thriller or mystery.’
Genre: Cozy Mystery
