Murder in Paradise series by Penelope Sotheby (#2-5)
Requirements: .ePUB Reader | 2.3 MB
Overview: For many, the thought of childhood conjures images of hopscotch games in quiet neighbourhoods, and sticky visits to the local sweet shop. For Penelope Sotheby, childhood meant bathing in Bermuda, jiving in Jamaica and exploring a string of strange and exotic British territories with her nomadic family. New friends would come and go, but her constant companion was an old, battered collection of Agatha Christie novels that filled her hours with intrigue and wonder. Penelope would go on to read every single one of Christie’s sixty-six novels–multiple times–and so was born a love of suspense than can be found in Sotheby’s own works today.
Genre: Mystery Cozy
Murder in the Bahamas (#2) Tensions are running a little high for employees of the Grand Palatial Hotel. Just last week, a wedding turned murderously disastrous, and the residual effects are still lingering. Event planner, Anna Winters, is running interference with her staff the best she can while trying to remain professional. It hasn’t been easy.
Millionaire Charles Weathersby wants a lavish wedding reception for his only daughter, Wendy, despite his dislike for the man she is marrying,BrankoLukic. Anna is determined to make the night as magical as possible, but she overhears Charles arguing with someone outside the hotel and, moments later, he’s dead on the beach. When Anna’s boss calls, he’s understandably upset because the elite hotel chain cannot afford a reputation for killing wedding guests. He gives Anna an absurd ultimatum: figure out who’s responsible and clear Grand Palatial of all liability or hang up her catering crown. Unwilling to lose the position she’s worked so hard for, she begins snooping for answers.
Murder in Jamaica (#3) There was a time when event planner, Anna Winters, looked forward to orchestrating lavish island receptions with the worst glitch being mismatched linens or a late violinist. Lately, though, The Grand Palatial Hotel has been a hotbed of murder and mayhem. Fresh from a disaster in the Bahamas that almost killed her, Anna is in Jamaica working on another wedding for newly weds, Harvey and Lucy O’Sullivan. So far, so good. Drinks are flowing, the atmosphere is merry, and dinner is in full swing.
But Anna’s heart drops when two guests fall over dead after biting into the main course. She’s recently earned a reputation for her sleuthing skills, so her boss pressures her to find out who is responsible. As Anna follows her natural instinct, she quickly closes in on a prime suspect, but her investigation turns up a few other guests with equally probable motives. And then another dead body appears. This case is taking its toll on her private life. Anna is haunted by painful childhood memories, she’s betrayed by two people she cared for and is now on the verge of losing her closest friend. Will personal crisis get in the way of impartiality? Just when Anna thinks her world couldn’t get any more complicated, she receives a surprising proposition that may change her life forever.
Murder in Barbados (#4) The Grand Palatial hotel’s event planner, Anna Winters, has had it up to here with wedding guests dropping dead before the happy couple even gets a chance to have their first dance. Fresh from Jamaica and beginning to make quite a name for herself as an amateur detective, all Anna wants to do is lay low in Barbados. Soak up the sun, maybe smooth things over with her best friend and co-worker, Pauline.
Unfortunately, someone has other, more sinister plans. When the bride collapses during dinner, a victim of poisoned cous cous, all eyes go immediately to Anna for answers. She’s barely holding her personal life together with her recent break-up, Cassandra’s betrayal and Pauline’s cold shoulder. How can she possibly keep her employer from firing her and catch a killer in the meantime? Relief comes in the form of one Detective Jensen. He knows all about Anna and takes a special interest in her sleuthing ability, among other things, and graciously shares his resources. It’s a good thing, too. Otherwise an angry groom, a kidnapping, a rising body count and the notorious Phantom of Barbados might prove to be Anna’s final undoing.
Murder in Aruba (#5) Nobody is looking forward to the end of the nuptial season more than Anna Winters. She is the Grand Palatial hotel’s event planner and nothing has gone right this year. That’s putting it mildly. Wedding guests are checking out left and right, but they’re leaving in body bags and it’s clear to Anna the murderers are receiving inside help.
When a wealthy Greek family with ties to the mafia plans an extravagant event for their daughter, Anna holds her breath and hopes for the best. She tosses her optimism in the ocean when the groom and three others are poisoned. This time Anna’s boss is on the premises and the pressure to find the killer is nearly unbearable. Though she usually relies on her best friend and co-worker, Pauline, to help solve cases, Pauline is a bit preoccupied trying to evade the advances of the family’s persistent patriarch. Anna is determined to figure out who on her staff is masterminding the killings, but she hits a snag when her boss finally makes good on his threats to fire her. On the outside looking in, desperately closing in on a suspect, Anna finds help from an unlikely ally and must find a way to put a stop to a serial killer before she ends up the final victim.
