Party Planning Can Be Murder

Kerry Schafer

Wish list: pick up my pills from the pharmacy, plan my party, be there when I die...

Despite a few harrowing incidents with nervy Bridezillas, Addy Winters' small town party planning business has been murder free - until now. But then, she's never before been hired to throw a star-studded after-death party for a client who has his death scheduled on his calendar.

When Leno Masterson-former classmate, now legendary rocker with a flair for drama-turns up dead four days earlier than he'd planned, Addy suspects that someone helped him along. Sure, he left a melodramatic goodbye letter and his right-to-die paperwork is all in order, but even when the coroner rules natural causes, Addy isn't buying it.

Addy's family and friends-and Leno's smolderingly hot brother Owen-warn her that she's diving in over her head, and they're right. She's woefully unprepared for either the media onslaught or the secrets the people she thought she knew are hiding. But nothing is going to stop her from getting justice for Leno-and throwing a killer party while she's at it.

If you love your mysteries with humor, heart, and a side of romance, this is your next must-read.

Perfect for fans of Finlay Donovan and The Thursday Murder Club!

Praise for this book

"Darkly hilarious and utterly unputdownable, Party Planning Can Be Murder delivers a fresh, sharp-witted mystery with a twist no one saw coming. Addy Winters is a firecracker of a protagonist-equal parts savvy, stubborn, and snarky-as she juggles party planning, nosy small-town drama, and a suspiciously premature death. The banter crackles, the mystery keeps you guessing, and the sizzling chemistry with Leno's broodingly handsome brother? Chef's kiss. If you love a mystery that's as clever as it is thrilling, with a side of humor and heart, clear your schedule-this one's a must-read!" -Jennifer Moorman, bestselling author of The Vanishing of Josephine Reynolds

"Party Planning Can Be Murder is a charming, hilarious mystery with tons of heart. It's a great read for fans of The Thursday Murder Club." -Robyn Harding, bestselling author of THE DROWNING WOMAN
