About this ebook
How would you ruin a cozy breakfast date with your heartthrob? How about a dead body falling into your lap?
Murder and mayhem among the rich and richer continue to plague Billionaire Hollow, or Darling Valley to the saints and scoundrels residing there.
A shocking diamond-draped skyfall is only the beginning of the miseries that has amateur female sleuth Olivia M. Granville doing “the dance of life” when she and her Detective McDreamy, known professionally as Gurmeet Richards, wander into their favorite luxury jewelry store, Xavier’s Gems.
Throughout this fast-paced, diamond studded, cozy mystery, thanks to sleazy society blogger, Awful Arlo, leaking incriminating texts and photos about her to cable news , Olivia finds herself at the center of the investigation into the death of one of Darling Valley’s leading socialites. Once again, she must call on her two best buds, couture-challenged Tuesday and beloved sidekick/assistant Cody to help her solve the murder before she loses her business, her relationship and her sanity. Oh wait, was it a murder?
As Olivia attempts to sort out the confusion about Jocelyn Payne’s mysterious demise, she finds herself in the middle of a nasty feud between a friend and her tenant, the aging, difficult but stylish yogini, Mrs. Harmon; a serious run-in with her battering ram of a client, Marguerite Fredericks; an assault by the attack cat, Lola; and a faceoff with cupid as she tries to figure out if Matt is two-timing her, just as they seemed to have finally found peace and happiness together.
