Publisher Description
Nosy, warm-hearted travel agent Campbell Hall gets mixed up in a missing persons case when beloved Nashville socialite Bitsy Carter vanishes during her Mexican vacation.
“Fans of Diane Mott Davidson and Donna Andrews will enjoy this new series” – Booklist
Travel agent Campbell Hale isn’t surprised when she hears her good friend, socialite and talented artist Bitsy Carter, has booked a luxury Mexican spa vacation through her agency. Bitsy often takes solo trips abroad, and who’d want to spend February in grey Nashville when they could avoid it?
She is, however, extremely surprised – and extremely worried – when Bitsy doesn’t come back.
What could compel warm, friendly Bitsy to run away without telling anyone her plans? And most puzzling of all: what could make her leave her small children behind?
The answers lie in Zihuatanejo, and Campbell barely needs to twist new boyfriend Detective Sam Davis’ arm to get him to agree to accompany her there. Campbell’s determined to uncover the truth, but will this be a vacation to remember . . . or one to die for?
“Fans of Tonya Kappes's books and readers who enjoy humorous whodunits with a strong sense of place will find this one delightful” – Library Journal (starred review) of the first Nashville mystery, Your Killin’ Heart
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Early in Peden's so-so sequel to 2017's Your Killin' Heart, Campbell Hale, manager of a Nashville travel agency, is a little surprised when her good friend and client, rich former debutante Bitsy Carter, books a short holiday at a five-star spa in Zihuatanejo, Mexico, on a day when Campbell isn't in the office. After two weeks pass with no word from Bitsy, her husband and parents report her missing. Campbell then sets off for Mexico with handsome but irascible Nashville police detective Sam Davis in tow. In addition to investigating, Campbell is secretly hoping to ramp up her relationship with Sam, a reluctant suitor given to fits of pique when Campbell's detecting methods reap real clues or when she offers obvious suggestions that he overlooked. A spunky heroine and smooth prose compensate somewhat for a plot with few surprises, and red herring suspects who are underdeveloped. Cozy fans have seen this all before.
