Synopsis

In this cozy mystery by the USA Today–bestselling author of Murder at Archly Manor, a professional organizer on vacation takes a side trip into murder

Military wife Ellie Avery planned a perfect family getaway: fun in the sun on Florida's Gulf Coast, with a side visit to the eBay vendor who'd mistakenly sent her the wrong handbag. But what should have been a simple exchange turns into a fatal transaction when Ellie discovers "Angela495" floating face-down in her pool.

With some savvy snooping, Ellie learns that Angela's dangerous double life included blackmail, compromising photos, and a scandalous secret that threatens a local celeb. When a kidnapping shatters her family's safety, Ellie leaves the white sands behind to face down a killer whose warm Southern charm masks a cold, cold heart.

Includes great tips for super family vacations!

Goodreads review by B.

Eesh. There's so much to unpack here, but let's just say this book is a bit of a train wreck. Like the last two books in the series, this one keeps getting more and more farfetched, completely negating the suspension of disbelief. From "zombie powder" being used by (spoiler) to an adult woman in hee......more
