Resorting to Murder
Resorting to Murder is the first book in the Resorting series.
It’s a perfect, sparkling, turquoise morning on St. Croix, that jewel of an island in the Caribbean. The palms are swaying and the rum is running sweet. But the taste in guest services director Nola Stewart’s mouth is distinctly sour. Two new guests – the rst, quiet, intriguing, the other, loud and obnoxious – have just checked in. Together they’re turning the beach, the pool and the weekly Pirates’ Feast into a four-alarm food fiasco. Then, as one of them turns the heat at the annual KweeZeenArtZ chef competition up to a high rolling boil it would seem that murder is on the menu.

This cozy mystery is set on St. Croix in the Virgin Islands and surrounds a chef/cooking competition. One of the celebrity chefs goes missing and there are as many suspects as there are motives. The characters are quirky and fun and the plot turns often enough to keep you off balance. The Caribbean setting is intoxicating and you want to taste the food! A really fun and easy read - perfect for the beach, pool, or even by the fireplace imagining the sun sparkling on the turquoise water! Light-hearted and fun, with none of the gore or sex that you wouldn't want to recommend to your mother! I previously read and really enjoyed Hulnick's "Lion's Share of the Air Time" and was curious to read her second novel. The first was more serious and literary (also really good!) This one is a tasty little romp.
