Death on the Isle of Love by Emily Queen Pdf

Sun, sand, and of course--murder. At long last, lady detective Rosemary Lillywhite and her best friend Vera are on their way to a much-needed holiday, and they’re not traveling alone. Rosemary’s impish brother, Frederick, on sabbatical from work at their father’s company, wouldn't dream of missing out on a tropical getaway—or or the chance to push his sister's buttons! To that end, Frederick invites his longtime chum—Rosemary's childhood crush, Desmond Cooper—along for the trip. If a little romance mends her broken heart, so much the better. Except, Rosemary has already begun to find interest in another man—dashing detective Max Whittington, who isn't thrilled about being left behind in London while she gallivants about in sunny Cyprus. The Aphrodite Sands hotel seems like the perfect place to relax and forget her troubles, but unfortunately death seems to follow Rosemary wherever she goes—even as far as the Isle of Love. When another body turns up, she's compelled to find the culprit, especially if it means putting romance on the back burner. The only problem is, both Max and Desmond have their eyes on the prize, and neither are willing to let sleeping dogs lie. Rosemary will have to decide which burns brighter—a new match or an old flame. Book three in The Mrs. Lillywhite Investigates series. Are you ready to escape to the roaring twenties? For fans of Beth Byers, Leighann Dobbs, Lee Strauss, and cozy historical murder mysteries. A light, cozy mystery with no swearing, graphic scenes, or cliffhangers.

The long-awaited—and excessively lavish—country wedding is slated to take place in Pardington in one week's time, and when an ominous warning arrives Rosemary is relieved she'll be out of harm's way. The only problem is that wherever she goes, murder isn't far behind. When a key member of the wedding party turns up dead, Vera insists she turn her back on the case—and for once, Rosemary is content to let the police do their jobs. Unfortunately, sleeping dogs don't always lie, especially when there are secrets to be revealed, and Rosemary has no choice but to try to find the killer.

A Body Among the Roses by Emily Queen Pdf

Some people are simply asking to be murdered. Rosemary Lillywhite has had a lot on her tea tray: murder, intrigue, and three men vying for her affections. When her mother, Evelyn, calls and pleads with her to help put on a country garden club fête, Rosemary begrudgingly agrees. After all, she can't leave poor Vera to her own devices—not when Evelyn has so staunchly objected to the match between Vera and Rosemary's brother, Frederick. As it turns out, Evelyn doesn't approve of Rosemary's romantic interests either—and she's only made the event more awkward by inviting her preferred choice of suitor to the fête! Furthermore, the garden club is filled with a group of Rosemary and Vera's school chums—an assortment of sour ladies they both would have preferred never to see again. If she'd known one of them was going to meet her end in Evelyn's back garden, Rosemary might have declined her mother's invitation and let Vera fend for herself! Now that murder has rocked the sleepy country village of Pardington and ruined the garden club event, Rosemary must bail her mother out of a jam—all while trying to juggle three men and mitigate Evelyn’s imminent nervous breakdown!
