About the book:
Andi’s
step-mother is a real piece of work!
But is Ruby a
murderer?
Andi Anna Jones, so-so
travel agent/amateur sleuth, puts aside her resentment of her father’s widow
and books a 60th birthday cruise to Cancun for Ruby and three friends. Never
does Andi imagine the cruise will lead to the murder of a has-been lounge singer—or
that Ruby will be the main suspect.
Flirting with more than
danger after arriving in Mexico, Andi connects with the charming local sheriff,
Manual Rodriquez. After an embarrassing night involving the sheriff, too many
margaritas, and a Mariachi band, a chance to check out an eyewitness to the
murder leads her to Las Vegas.
In Vegas, a mysterious
meeting in the Bodies Exhibition, a body preserving in the prep-room, and an
evasive owner of a dance studio, give Andi clues to help Ruby. But when Andi is
mercilessly drugged and locked in a storage room, she realizes dear old
step-mom isn’t the only one in jeopardy.
EXCERPTI jumped when the phone rang in the middle of grinding beans for my second latte. For a moment, I considered letting the call go, but that damned nagging promise made to Dad about watching out for his second wife, forced me to answer.“Yeah?”“Miss? Are you there?”Well, this isn’t Ruby. Nice baritone. “I’m here. Who’s this?”“Manuel Gonzales of the Cancun Sheriff’s Department, Miss…?”“Jones. But then I imagine you already know since you called me.”“Miss Jones, I wanted to get you up to speed. I inspected the scene of last night’s, uh, apparent homicide. Regarding Ruby Jones, the suspect, she is currently being…”A commotion in the background caught my attention. “Wait. Who’s screaming? Is that Ruby?”
The phone reception had improved because Ruby sounded like she was standing in my kitchen. For the first time since this nightmare began, I found myself smiling when I heard, “You can’t do this to me! I have rights as an American citizen! Remember the Al-a-moooo….”
