A Dead-end Job Mystery
BY ELAINE VIETS
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Husband and wife PI team Helen Hawthorne and Phil Sagemont are about to find out murder is no day at the beach....
There’s a dark cloud over Sunny Jim’s Stand-Up Paddleboard Rental business on Florida’s Riggs Beach—especially after one of his clients is killed in a tragic paddleboarding mishap. Sunny Jim is sure it was no accident, and he hires Helen and Phil to find the murderer.
Between competitors poaching his territory, the city threatening to revoke his license, and a wrongful death suit filed by the victim’s husband, Sunny Jim may soon be up the creek without a paddle. Luckily, he has Helen and Phil on his side. As the couple investigates, they discover dark undercurrents of corruption behind the cheerful facades of the beachfront businesses. But the sands of time are running out, and if they don’t catch the killer soon, Sunny Jim won’t be the only one to go under....

I laughed so much when I read her cozy pumped up so there is no question that I will love this one. Going to put it on my "to buy" list so I can if I ever get my TBR stack whittled down some more.

On her website, I saw that I got the name of her cozy wrong! It was Pumped for Murder, a five star cozy! I didn't realize that she has written so many dead end job mysteries. I want to read them all.

I want to read because I have never read a cozy mystery yet where husband and wife were the investigators. I like that idea

I saw on her website that she has pictures on two cats and a dog that our pets in her series. I'm an animal lover. Cute that when Harry the cat is not with Amelia he is helping author Elaine write the novels.
