Going Organic Can Kill You
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Welcome to Blossom Valley, California, home of the O'Connell Organic Farm and Spa, complete with its new marketing maven, Dana Lewis, former Blossom Valley resident, unapologetic junk food connoisseur—and soon-to-be sleuth . . .
As Dana readjusts to life back home with her recently widowed mother, her latest career move isn't exactly a piece of cake. In fact, it's all tofu fish sticks, stuffed squash blossoms, and enough wheat grass shots to scream bloody murder—especially when Dana discovers the body of Maxwell Mendelsohn, Hollywood producer and opening weekend guest, deader than a yoga corpse pose.
While Dana pens the spa's blog and balances the attentions of the local police and reporter Jason Forrester, her escalating job duties now include finding clues, motives, and suspects. One thing's for certain, she better catch the killer before her free-range goose is cooked.
"A sprightly mix of humor and homicide, featuring an engaging heroine and a fast-paced plot that zips along to an exciting climax." —Laura Levine, author of Pampered to Death

July 1, 2012
A victim of corporate downsizing, Dana Lewis has returned to her small northern California hometown with her marketing degree, grateful to have a temporary position with a new spa resort. It's the grand opening weekend, and the required spa elements are in place: yoga instructor, snooty attitudes, and health food. The coup of having a movie producer as a guest is overshadowed by his murder. Dana cannot help but investigate since the spa owner is her mom's friend. When a second victim turns up, it's time to watch her own back. Among the yoga instructor, the producer's ex-wife, the personal assistant, and the aspiring actress, Dana's list of suspects runs long. VERDICT This series debut features the familiar theme of the young career woman who goes home to the small town she never expected to miss, but the trendy setting creates an effective closed-room mystery. A touch of madcap fun mixed with family humor makes for a fun, light read.
