Her ex-stepmother may be a
piece of work…but is she a killer?
About The Book: Miami travel agent Andi Anna Jones loved her father
with all her heart, her stepmother…not so much. With few skills for drawing the
line when it comes to the flamboyant wingnut Ruby Jones, Andi rushes to the
rescue after Ruby is charged with homicide while on a Mexican cruise. Enter a
cast of characters including, but not limited to, three besties who’d just as
soon stick a knife in your back as blink, a rambling gambling fast-talking man who
disguises himself as an attorney, and the hunkiest of cops this side of Cancun.
It’s up to Andi Anna to save the day, keep
the looney tunes stepmother out of prison, and not get herself killed in the
process.
Our Review: In Margaritas, Mayhem and Murder, author Mary
Cunningham has created the first in an adventure series featuring ace Miami travel
agent, Andi Anna Jones. Unable to pay attention to the common sense button
inside her head or the warnings of those in the know, she barges ahead in an
effort to solve the murder, keep the unworthy stepmother out of jail, and often
puts herself and others at risk for serious physical injury. For all that, I
should not have liked this book—yet it’s filled with snappy dialogue, a variety
of well-drawn whacko characters, and terrific descriptions of the cruise ship
industry and tourist havens of Las Vegas and the Mexican Caribbean.
On a scale of 1-5, Margaritas,
Mayhem and Murder deserves a 4.
