Mallory Marlowe is ready to turn a corner—one lined with
palm trees, plastic pink flamingo lawn ornaments, and
snack bars shaped like giant ice cream cones. Thanks to
her new job as travel writer for the New York magazine
The Good Life, recently widowed Mallory is zipping
around Orlando, assigned to rediscover the glory days
of “old Florida.” It’s the first of what she hopes will be
many exciting adventures . . . but she’s about to discover
that the Sunshine State has a dark side.
Settled in
among the faux volcanoes and tiki torches of the
Polynesian Princess Hotel, Mallory is on the lookout for
quirky attractions like alligator farms and pirate-themed
diners hidden amid the glitzy theme parks. But she’s not
prepared to find a cranky journalist speared to death in
the Bali Ballroom—or to find herself a suspect in his
murder. With her trip coming to a close, Mallory has no
choice but to figure out if one of her fellow travel
writers is a killer. Because if she doesn’t get out of
Florida soon, her career—and her life—are about to come to
a dead end.
Includes Mallory’s article for The
Good Life, with tips and reviews of real Florida
attractions!

Orlando and most of Florida certainly isn't what it was 45 years ago. My husband's family moved to Orlando in 1963. It was a nice quiet town near an Air Force base. There were the old Florida tourist sites like Gatorland, but not the zoo that the Orlando area has become. (Patricia Barraclough 11:02pm June 3, 2009)
