Murder's Last Resort (A Maya French Mystery)

"Marta Chausée's new novel, Murder's Last Resort, is smart, funny, tough and sparkles with insight. Marta has created one of the best heroines of mystery to come along in decades. The unstoppable, unsinkable, unpredictable Maya French is the bastard literary child of Agatha Christie and Lt. Colombo." -- Kinky Friedman

The tidy world of sophisticated dinners and turn-down treats turns topsy-turvy for Maya French, the manager's wife, when other Sapphire executives turn up as dead as a polished doorknob. Maya dodges bullets--literally--and police suspicion as she hunts for the killer. The fun beaches of Florida turn deadly with this atmospheric cozy. —Sally Carpenter, author of The Baffled Beatlemaniac Caper

In Murder’s Last Resort, Marta Chausée has crafted a clever puzzle full of colorful central Florida atmosphere and characters.
