Show Up Dead: A Sweet Murder from the City of Brotherly Love

(Proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to JDRF to support research for a cure for Type 1 diabetes.)

Self-described lifestyle manager, Peri Milano, has everything under control. With the organizational skills of a data processing program, the discretion of the CIA, and the creativity of an Ikea research and design engineer, she is the go-to for whatever whim her customers fancied to have fulfilled, and whatever method they needed for their madness.

So when Mr. Wooley asked her to plan a coming-out party with a funeral theme to say farewell to his “old” self, Peri has it under control. When he actually shows up dead, she’s still got it under control.

But as the murder investigation swirls around her and another client begins receiving threatening letters, her grip on the world starts to loosen. And when her son winds up in the hospital, her cousin winds up on the missing person’s list, and she winds up being responsible for an orphaned, adult soap-star wannabe, Peri’s not sure she wants to be in control of anything ever again.

But someone needs to figure it all out. And since she’s so good at it, what other choice does she have but to save everyone in her little corner of the world?

Hopefully she'll have time to save herself.
