Mojitos & Murder
(2026)(The second book in the Uma Blanchard Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Trixie Fairdale
Grandmother. Karaoke Queen. Amateur Sleuth.
After solving her almost-son-in-law's murder, Uma Blanchard finally gets to enjoy her long-awaited cruise. That is, until Lawrence, the Oshannic Aspire's supremely obnoxious karaoke host, abruptly kicks the bucket under mysterious circumstances. Never one to sit around, Uma Blanchard, Killjoy’s sassiest Cajun curmudgeon, decides it's time to put her fun on ice and stir up some amateur sleuthing aboard the massive ship.
With a ticking clock and a ship full of eccentric suspects, each with their own beef with Lawrence, Uma races to follow a trail of the killer’s deep-fried breadcrumbs. Can she catch the murderer in time to reopen the karaoke stage and savor her boozy cocktails? Or will the potent mojitos, adrenaline-fueled excursions, and riotous cast of cruise guests and staff cook up enough chaos to sink her investigation (and her vacation) for good?
Mojitos & Murder stars characters you know and love, including Cosmo (Uma's hunky stuntman neighbor) and Uma's violent grand-spawn, along with a buffet of outrageous cruise attendees and spicy staff members. Escape into the second, side-splitting course of Trixie Fairdale's award-winning Uma Blanchard culinary cozy series—where every clue is served with a twist and the laughs come in heaping portions.
