Publisher Description
A celebrity corpse interrupts a California gumshoe’s Georgia honeymoon in this cozy mystery by the author of Buried in Buttercream.
Plus-sized PI Savannah Reid and her new husband, Dirk Coulter, were hoping for a little honeymoon excitement, but finding a freshly killed body on the beach wasn’t what they had in mind. To their surprise, the recently deceased is Amelia Northrop, the popular L.A. anchorwoman whose super sexy looks landed her a super wealthy husband. Now, instead of hosting the news, Amelia will be the lead story.
The local police clearly don't want Savannah's help, so she does a little digging on her own—and what she discovers could blow the case wide open. It seems Amelia crossed more than a few powerful people on her way to the top—and learned the hard way that karma can be a girl's worst enemy. The question is, who hated Amelia enough to shoot her dead in broad daylight? Savannah will have to find out, before a killer gets away with murder . . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
McKevett's charming 18th Savannah Reid mystery (after 2012's Buried in Buttercream) takes PI Savannah Reid and her new husband, Det. Sgt. Dirk Coulter, to Santa Tesla, an island off the California coast, where their honeymoon quickly turns into a busman's holiday. When the newlyweds see a blonde woman running along an isolated beach felled by gunfire, Savannah rushes to her aid. The mortally wounded woman turns out to be TV newscaster Amelia Northrop. Who had it in for the popular and beautiful Amelia, and why does the local police chief, Charlotte La Cross, try to cover up the crime? Savannah's colleagues at her Moonlight Magnolia Detective Agency Tammy Hart, Ryan Stone, and John Gibson join the hunt for the truth, ably abetted by Granny Reid and brother Waycross. Cozy fans will enjoy the laugh-out-loud dialogue and Southern witticisms, as well as the surprise Dirk gets at the end.
