Some people visit Florida for theme parks and beaches. High school junior Virginia Tillis is there for M**der. Accidents, electrocution, tainted hand lotion: every victim meets a different end at her grandmother Lainey's rococo pink condo. Such is life (and death) when you roll with a crew of theater retirees who roleplay M**der mysteries from the comfort of their own home in a game they fondly call Killing Me Softly.
But this summer, fictional M**der has given way to the very real death of the building's beloved owner and his dramatic last testament has the vultures circling, from estranged relatives to sleazy property developers, dead set on getting the most from his will.
Adding to the tension for Virginia is the appearance of Felix, the cute guy she met at the airport who turns out to be the grandson of one of the condo's residents. With his charm and musical theater chops, he's the person Virginia most wants to beat at Killing Me Softly. That is, until the day they discover an actual dead body while playing the game, forcing them to work together to figure out whodunit.
In this comedic mystery about finding the Watson to your Holmes, Virginia and Felix must banter their way from rivals to co-detectives in time to save their eccentric grandparents from a shocking disruption to the community they've always loved.
About the author… Amanda Sellet writes lighthearted fiction for teens and adults. She is fond of old-fashioned things, including but not limited to the donuts. It is her great good fortune to live in a Midwestern college town with a wonderful bookstore and superlative bakeries.
