Foul Play in La Playa

When Stella and Nick join their friends for a wedding getaway in Mexico, it seems like every day is Day of the Dead . . .

When their two closest friends take off for Mexico to get married, Stella and Nick gladly head south of the border to help them celebrate. It’s been brutally cold back in Vermont, and the small resort they’re staying at is a sun-drenched paradise. But then they learn that the previous occupant of their bungalow died mysteriously, and not long after that another guest turns up dead. Suddenly all their hopes for a tropical escape from winter—and murder—melt away when they get dragged into the investigation.

Stella soon discovers that the victim, a loud and spiteful woman, had alienated herself from all of the other guests. She also had an uncanny knack for uncovering compromising details about people, and it becomes clear that virtually everyone at the resort has something to hide. With too many suspects and a murderer in their midst, Stella and Nick have to work quickly to figure out which of the guests had a secret worth killing for—before the killer decides to put them down for a permanent siesta . . .
