Sadie Kramer is on vacation looking forward to some rest and relaxation. Of course she has her tiny Yorkie with her. He goes everywhere in her tote bag--and has a mini palace set up in the hotel room. Sadie coordinates clothing so it is uncertain who has the most outfits! And what outfits some of hers are. Somehow or another she was handed special tickets to a celeb dinner and tote with dog in hand goes. She ends up sitting at a table way in the back and at that table she meets a women just like her!!
Well since Sadie is a magnet for murders to happen in her vicinity--and she is totally incapable of not trying to help solve them--and her new friend is every bit as bad-----Between shopping for more outrageous outfits on the boardwalk and piecing together the murder of the celeb who never showed up at the dinner---well I found myself laughing at the antics of these two women. The Yorkie also was quite a character in his own right!!
The ending will definitely catch you off guard as these two figure it all out before the police-----who, it turns out, were warned about her by her boyfriend(?) back home!!
A vacation on the Southern California coast promises rest and relaxation for flamboyant senior sleuth Sadie Kramer and her mischievous Yorkie, Coco. But when the body of a heartthrob celebrity washes up on the beach outside her luxury hotel suite, Sadie's fun-in-the-sun soon turns into sleuthing-with-the-stars.
The resort's wine and appetizer gatherings, suspicious behavior of hotel guests, and casual strolls along the beach boardwalk may provide clues, but will they be enough to discover who the killer is?
Or will mystery and mayhem leave a Hollywood scandal unsolved?

"Deborah Garner is gifted at bringing each character to life. She adds details seamlessly, making it seem like you know these people. She presents scenarios that have you thinking you know who did it, and then in the next sentence you are second guessing yourself. And that is to say, this is a great “who done it” … it gets 2 thumbs up from me :)" - reviews Tracy Helps You
