Book excerpt: “The action is non-stop and full of surprises” in this “entertaining mystery” when a spa weekend in Hot Springs, Arkansas, is marred with murder (Publishers Weekly). Leaving a bad boyfriend behind in New Orleans, crime reporter and amateur sleuth Samantha Adams heads to Hot Springs, Arkansas, to celebrate the engagement of her old friend Jinx Watson, who also just won the Texas lottery. Sam is hoping a girls’ weekend of posh spa treatments will help wash her ex out of her hair, but Jinx’s run of good luck comes up short when her friend Olivia is a no-show—and her fiancé, Speed McKay, disappears. A former call girl, Olivia now lives an upstanding life as a local diner owner. But could her disappearance have something to do with her son’s recent arrest? As for Speed, the more Sam looks into his life, the less he seems to be who he claims. And when Sam and Jinx realize they’re up against a kidnapper demanding a million-dollar ransom, Sam’s weekend away from her relationship problems might put her in the arms of a killer. “A high, wide, and handsome romp—occasionally tinged by melancholy—through a regional subculture brought to vivid life by an author who dares more and gets better with each outing.” —Kirkus Reviews
