Murder at Crystal Palms Resort
(2026)(The third book in the Alexia Jones Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Kaylah Carr
One curious sleuth, one loyal dog, and a resort full of secret—paradise has never been deadlier.
Pet shop owner Alexia Jones arrives at the glittering Crystal Palms Resort expecting sunshine and live music, not whispered threats.
When her friend Carissa admits her marriage is collapsing under lies and pressure, Alexia’s instincts prickle. At dawn, those instincts sharpen when Buddy, her loyal German Shepherd, pulls her toward a body drifting in the pool.
With sharp-tongued best friend Jenna at her side, Alexia is drawn into a maze of stolen money, covert meetings, and a family hierarchy built on buried secrets.
A jealous husband with too much to lose and a glamorous sister skilled at manipulation quickly rise as prime suspects, each tied to the victim in ways they want hidden.
As Alexia digs deeper, hidden identities surface, alliances shift, and the resort’s polished façade cracks. Someone at Crystal Palms is determined to protect a fortune and is willing to kill again to do it.
If Alexia doesn’t uncover the truth fast, the next ‘accident’ in paradise will be her own.
