A novel by Marcy Blesy
Cozy Mystery, Book 11
Dying to Escape (Swinging Into Love)
Each book is a self-contained mystery, but the character arcs build upon each other.When Safia splurges her singing-competition winnings on a Valentine’s Day field trip to Southwest Park Zoo, Rosi expects cupcakes, cupids—and maybe a few cranky flamingos. What she doesn’t expect: the gibbons staging a jailbreak, a missing zoo director, and her old newsroom instincts roaring back to life.
Between escaped primates, meddling seniors, and Keaton begrudgingly back for round two, Rosi and the Tucson Valley crew are about to learn that curiosity doesn’t just complicate a holiday: it turns it into an adventure. Valentine’s Day might not go as planned, but it’s sure to bring chaos, laughter, and a surprise that changes everything.
