Publisher Description
Mia Murphy's friends have dubbed her the Corpse Whisperer…and life is about to prove them right.
Mia, Hattie, and Lucy are off to a posh island resort for a much-needed girls trip to coastal Maine. Sun, fun, margaritas, and a birthday party are their only plans…until they discover Hattie's cousin with a corpse in her hot tub and the cops on her deck.
With her monogrammed knitting needles lodged in his chest, Hattie's cousin is the primary suspect. But who lets a widowed sassy senior spend her birthday in jail? Not Mia and her pals.
As Mia, Hattie, and Lucy investigate behind-the-scenes shenanigans at the VIP resort, stakes skyrocket when they link the victim to Mia's missing mom. With the body count rising, they plunge into a high-octane race involving an unusual boat captain, haunted caves, secret identities, and pirate booty.
To complicate matters, Mia's former FBI handler is trying to call the shots, and Bass Derby's eccentric mystery writer arrives with Mia's cranky cat and an agenda. Mia must prove she's no corpse whisperer, cement her claim that she'll never date again, and engage in possibly criminal tactics to keep her beloved trio of trouble from becoming the next victims.
It's about to get outrageous, dangerous, and downright personal.
Chock full of twists, hilarity, and warmth, Triple Trouble is a fast-paced whodunnit with addictive banter, riotous suspense, and an irresistibly unapologetic cat.

Customer Reviews
Continuing to love this series
I really enjoy Mia and crew - especially King Tut! This was a well thought out storyline and I really appreciate that we were able to have a couple of murders happen away from home. Keep up the good work, Stephanie - I’m looking forward to the next one!
Triple Trouble
Mia Murphy mystery series #4. Cozy mystery. Best read in series order, but this can be read as a stand-alone.
After moving to a small coastal town in Maine, Mia Murphy is just about to reopen her rehabbed Marina. To celebrate Hattie’s birthday, Mia, Lucy and Hattie take a short vacation and travel to a small island where a body is found in a hot tub, killed with knitting needles. The women investigate, stirring up all kinds of trouble from a trunk full of money, to a notorious trickster showing up, another death, and the FBI getting in kissing range. Mia is on the spot. Can she solve the twisted clues or does the wrong person go to jail?
Wacky amateur murder solving friendships make this group of women entertaining to follow as they stumble over clues, and outsmart the police again and again.
The supporting men are enthusiastically enamored with the women and let them do their worst.
Enjoyable and amusing.
Fun and funny-the perfect upbeat book!
What a hoot! If you enjoy the Stephanie Plum or Miss Fortune books, you are going to love Mia Murphy! Fun and funny, this is the perfect upbeat book to add to your list. And it's something more, too. Mia is a three-dimensional character, with real feelings and real responses to them. And her friends are there for it, and for her. Not this this gets heavy -it's definitely a fun read- but I love that the characters and story aren't just fluff entertainment (not that there's anything wrong with that).
