Summer Vacation Murder by Rachel Woods Pdf

A chilling cozy mystery that will have you gripping the edge of your beach chair ... Escape to the sun-kissed Aerie Islands, where reporter Roland "Beanie" Bean has planned the perfect family vacation. But as the ocean breeze whispers through the palm trees, danger lurks in the shadows, and Beanie finds himself entangled in another mystery. On an idyllic drive to a picturesque sandbar, Beanie's family vacation takes a sharp turn when a swerving car nearly runs them off the road. Moments later, they discover the car abandoned, crashed into the jungle brush. Down a rocky cliff, Beanie spots a nervous trio on the beach who quickly flee the scene. But the real shock comes when a bloodied young man—none other than a lifeguard from their resort—stumbles towards Beanie and collapses at his feet. Beanie's former intern, Joshua, now a fledgling reporter for the Aerie Observer, arrives on the scene to cover the car crash. But the plot thickens when it's revealed that the lifeguard didn't die from the accident—he was poisoned by lethal snake venom. With a reluctant Beanie by his side, the dynamic duo dives into a treacherous investigation to uncover the truth behind the deadly mystery. As they peel back the layers of the lifeguard's shadowy past, Beanie and Joshua find themselves tangled in a sinister web of secrets that stretches throughout the resort staff. Could the culprit be a fellow employee with a dark motive? Or perhaps the lifeguard's vengeful ex-girlfriend, a zoo worker with access to venomous serpents? In Summer Vacation Murder, Beanie and Joshua race against the clock to unravel a tapestry of clues and red herrings that lead them deeper into danger. This charming holiday cozy mystery will keep you guessing with twists and turns that lead to an unforgettable conclusion. Will Beanie and Joshua crack the case before they become the next victims of a devious killer? Grab your sunhat and find out in this sizzling summer page-turner!

My Killer Vacation by Tessa Bailey Pdf

A brash bounty hunter and an energetic elementary school teacher become the murder-solving team no one asked for—but they’re stuck together, come hell or high tide, until a killer is found in this spicy rom-com featuring a brand-new bonus novella from Tessa Bailey, #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Happened One Summer. It was supposed to be a relaxing vacation in sweet, sunny Cape Cod—just Taylor Bassey and her beloved brother—but discovering a corpse in their rental house has really thrown a wrench into their tanning schedule. Now a rude, crude bounty hunter has arrived on the back of his motorcycle to catch the killer and refuses to believe Taylor can be helpful, despite the countless hours she’s spent listening to true crime podcasts. Not to mention her fulfilling teaching career of wrangling second graders. Myles Sumner is only there to do a job, not babysit an amateur sleuth. Although…it is becoming less and less of a hardship to have Taylor around. Sure, she’s stubborn, distracting and can’t stay out of harm’s way. She’s also brave and beautiful and reminds him of home. In other words, the insatiable hunger and protectiveness she’s awakening is a threat to his peace of mind. Before Myles sinks any deeper into this dangerous attraction, he needs to solve the murder and get back on the road. Only now there are two threats—and the biggest one is to his heart.

The House on Fripp Island by Rebecca Kauffman Pdf

A taut, page-turning novel of secrets and strife. When two families--one rich, one not--vacation together off the coast of South Carolina, little do they know that someone won't be returning home. Fripp Island, South Carolina is the perfect destination for the wealthy Daly family: Lisa, Scott, and their two girls. For Lisa's childhood friend, Poppy Ford, the resort island is a world away from the one she and Lisa grew up in--and when Lisa invites Poppy's family to join them, how can a working-class woman turn down an all-expenses paid vacation for her husband and children? But everyone brings secrets to the island, distorting what should be a convivial, relaxing summer on the beach. Lisa sees danger everywhere--the local handyman can't be allowed near the children, and Lisa suspects Scott is fixated on something, or someone, else. Poppy watches over her husband John and his routines with a sharp eye. It's a summer of change for all of the children: Ryan Ford who prepares for college in the fall, Rae Daly who seethes on the brink of adulthood, and the two youngest, Kimmy Daly and Alex Ford, who are exposed to new ideas and different ways of life as they forge a friendship of their own. Those who return from this vacation will spend the rest of their lives trying to process what they witnessed, the tipping points, moments of violence and tenderness, and the memory of whom they left behind.

Three Weddings...And a Murder So far Meg Langslow's summer is not going swimmingly. Down in her small Virginia hometown, she's maid of honor at the nuptials of three loved ones--each of whom has dumped the planning in her capable hands.

And, in whirl of summer parties and picnics, Southern hospitality is strained to the limit by an offensive newcomer who hints at skeletons in the guests' closets. But it seems this lady has offended one too many when she's found dead in suspicious circumstances, followed by a string of accidents--some fatal. Soon, level-headed Meg's to-do list extends from flower arrangements and bridal registries to catching a killer--before the next catered event is her own funeral...

Murder in the Kitchen by Alice B. Toklas Pdf

In this memoir-turned-cookbook, Alice B. Toklas describes her life with partner Gertrude Stein and their famed Paris salon, which entertained the great avant-garde and literary figures of their day. With dry wit and characteristic understatement Toklas ponders the ethics of killing a carp in her kitchen before stuffing it with chestnuts; decorating a fish to amuse Picasso at lunch; and travelling across France during the First World War in an old delivery truck, gathering local recipes along the way. She includes a friend's playful recipe for 'Haschiche Fudge', which promises 'brilliant storms of laughter and ecstatic reveries', much like her book.
