Resorting to Murder

What business secrets are behind the disappearance of a celebrity chef from the beaches of a Caribbean island right before an important cooking competition? Is it kidnapping or murder?

In this cozy mystery, a young woman hotel staffer tries to find out why an important guest has vanished and whether her new friend is a killer.

It's a perfect, sparkling, turquoise morning on St. Croix, that jewel of an island in the Caribbean. The palms are swaying and the rum is running sweet. But the taste in services director Nola Stewart's mouth is distinctly sour. Two new guests – the first, quiet, intriguing, the other, loud and obnoxious – have just checked in. Together they're turning the beach, the pool and the weekly Pirates' Feast into a four-alarm food fiasco. Then, as one of them turns the heat at the annual KweeZeenArtZ chef competition up to a high rolling boil, it would seem that murder is on the menu.
Resorting to Murder is the first in Gail Hulnick's Resorting Collection. Stories of mysterious, occasionally humorous, questionable crimes, set in a world of luxurious hotels, interesting travel, and unusual people. No blood, no gore, no torture . . . just mystery, a few thrills, and some fun along the way.
