Description
A murder at an ultra-exclusive island resort puts the A-list on the suspect list: "Dorothy Howell is one funny lady."—Laura Levine, author of the Jaine Austen Mysteries

Part-time sleuth and full-time fashionista Haley Randolph just won an all-expenses-paid vacay at the Rowan Resort, a ridiculously exclusive island getaway that caters to the whims of millionaires, royalty, and Hollywood A-listers. With her three BFF's—Marcie, Bella, and Sandy—along for the ride, the only thing she's missing is the Sea Vixen, the season's hottest beach bag. . .
The island has everything Haley imagined: pristine beaches, posh accommodations, and possibly Brad Pitt. But trouble soon looms on the horizon when Jaslyn Gordon, a maid at the island resort, goes missing. And while practically looting the resort for a Sea Vixen beach bag, Haley of course finds the maid—on the beach. . .and clearly dead.
Everyone at the resort says Jaslyn's death was just an accident, but Haley thinks there's a lot going unsaid. . .especially when she spots hunky FBI agent Luke Warner. He claims to be on the island only for a wedding but Haley's not buying it.
Haley's faced down clever criminals before and always come out on top, but this malicious murderer might be too crafty. And though she's dying to get her hands on a Sea Vixen, she also wants to live long enough to be seen with it!
Praise For Dorothy Howell And Her Haley Randolph Mysteries!

        August 15, 2014
        Though she's on vacation, an otherwise airheaded California girl is determined to come to grips with the serious business behind a murder. Through some sort of complicated contest she can barely remember (as if she could remember anything not fashion-relevant), Haley Randolph has won a trip to the uber-exclusive Rowan Resort. Accompanied by three of her closest friends, she has big plans: work on her tan, watch for celebrities, and somehow find this season's hottest bag, the polka-dot Sea Vixen. The Rowan Resort's private beaches are well-known for being virtually inaccessible to mere mortals, so Haley's shocked when the numerous aspiring suitors in her life keep running into her. Though Haley isn't over the breakup with her longtime boyfriend and employer, Ty Cameron, the owner of Holt's department stores, Howell (Evening Bags and Executions, 2013, etc.) painfully describes every beat her heart skips as she shares a long, lingering look with each of her potential romantic interests. At this rate, it's lucky for Haley that she's not in the emergency room for congestive heart failure. It's also lucky, at least for Haley, that her mind has something to focus on: Jaslyn Gordon, a maid at the Rowan Resort whose murder Haley had the unfortunate distinction of discovering. In fact, Haley may be the only one interested, since the resort is determined to keep the death out of the media. Haley's curiosity makes her resolve to find out why Jaslyn's been murdered and by whom, even if she does have to miss some buddy-bonding beach time to do it. In spite of some flippant fun, the disdain Howell feels for her leading lady is palpable, making Haley more of a burlesque of herself than a persuasive heroine.
