Georgie and Jack have been married for a year. They said their vows at Mad Max's venue! Now there is a brand new amusement park and Max wants the two of them to be there before they go on a trip. Of course the two Siamese cats are invited!!
They were there for 2 days when the hotel they were in started swaying and explosions were heard. Max went missing-and the second in command was not around either-which left Georgie in charge. Of course Jack had to get involved with the investigation as well.
This is a fast moving book with all kinds of interesting bots running around! Jessica shows up with her dog (Jessica of the Black American Express card). The second in command has lost it--there is a conspiracy within the board of directors--
Who caused the explosion--will they ever find Max--and who exactly is this guy in the Harlequin suit running around and talking to the bots? Is there a happy ending? You bet you there is--and a very unexpected one at that!

Life is an extravaganza! figuring out how to hang tough and make the most of the wild ride is the challenge.
On my way to Oahu to join the rock musician and high school drop-out I had met in San Diego and married in Tijuana, I was nabbed by the police as a runaway. When the police let me go and the rock band broke up, my husband and I had to find another way to survive. Our next stop: Disney World where we trained to be chefs, courtesy of the Walt Disney World University. A GED for my husband and many more years of education landed us in academia at The Ohio State University. Retired now from my role as a professor in social work and behavioral science, I have picked up a long-time interest in writing fiction. I'm still married to the same sweet guy and live with him in the Palm Springs area. In addition to reading and writing fiction, I enjoy painting, hiking, hanging out with my handsome husband and tending to my Siamese kitties.
An award-winning and bestselling author I enjoy snooping into life's mysteries with fun, fiction, & food—California style! My books include the Jessica Huntington Desert Cities Mystery series set in the Coachella Valley near Palm Springs, the Corsario Cove Cozy Mystery series set on California’s Central Coast, and The Georgie Shaw Cozy Mystery series set in Orange County, California--the OC. Coming soon: The Misadventures of Betsy Stark also set here in the Coachella Valley. Find out more at http://www.desertcitiesmystery.com

ReplyDeleteMy mother is better at guessing, she love mysteries. I won't be able to guess who did it. The bulter? :)
ReplyDeleteSadly I can never seem to guess whodunit in mystery books, but I guess that's why I like reading them.

ReplyDeleteI say Max is the trouble maker.

ReplyDeleteLots of possible characters who could be the bad guy
ReplyDeleteI never guess the culprit right but it's fun to try. I haven't read any of these yet but am looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteI love to guess and sometimes I get it right, sometimes not. I love good mysteries and ones that keep you guessing all the way to the end.
ReplyDeleteLOVE when a box keeps you following clues, going down wrong alleys and then surprises you with an ending that makes perfect sense and you go "Why didn't I see that?"
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the opportunity to read "A Merry Christmas Anniversary Mystery" and to review it.
Shared and hoping to be the very fortunate one selected. Thank you for the chance!

Normally I figure them out (usually near the end) but once in a while I get super surprised (and delighted!)
ReplyDeleteI have read all up to and including book 7 (pandemic cause super focus issues so I haven't read anything this year at all until just recently this month!)
Thank you for the chance!
I probably won't be able to figure out the ending. I'm sure there are lots of twists to figure out.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to ready a new cozy mystery!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the others but I'm pretty good at guessing the troublemaker before a book ends.

ReplyDeleteI'm not this far in this series, but I hope I can figure out the villainous person behind it all. I love this author. Thanks for the chance.
