Mystery Woman Sleuth | Mystery Amateur Sleuth

The dating scene can be a killer...

Determined to help her roommate Nikki out of her singles slump, Abby Knight encourages her to give speed dating a try. Of course, Nikki wants the guy at the very bottom of Abby’s list, Jonas Treat—a.k.a. “Treat the Cheat”—and figures just one date with him couldn’t hurt. But then Jonas is found dead—and evidence points to Nikki as his killer.

To clear Nikki’s name, Abby enlists the help of her hunky ex-Army Ranger boyfriend, Marco. But Marco’s rambunctious extended family turns Abby’s hectic life into a disaster zone. With her patience seriously wilting, and a killer on the loose, Abby is determined to dig herself out of this mess—before someone buries her instead...

Re: Evil In Carnations

Hi Kate. I'm so glad that you've recouped so wonderfully. Those boring days are so much better than the tumultuous ones. Love your books!
(Karen Barnett 1:01am March 20, 2009)

Oh, Kate, what you have gone through. You are so lucky now to have your health back.

I have read (and reviewed) many of your wonderful books. I love that fiesty Abby, her ditzy mom, her support staff, and most of all that yummy Marco. You are so talented and such a gift to us cozy readers. May your health and your imagination continue to flourish!

I pay attention to those signs that say if you have back trouble, skip this ride. Furthermore, I hate the twirling rides where the G-forces smush you. Kiddie roller coasters are a whole lot tamer and fun with gentle dips and rises. I get a thrill watching the best coasters at Cedar Point and hearing all those screams. Be prepared for the next time you have a strain, sprain or backache with Arnica Gel a homeopathic med from Whole Foods. I keep it in my car for sprains and back strains for family and friends on sports teams.

Amen! Thanks the Lord for boring days!
(Kelli Jo Calvert 3:33pm March 20, 2009)

Hello Kate - Boy that sounds like you had a really rough time!! Glad you have recovered. And thanks for the reminder that we need to be thankful for our health and the boring days as well as the exciting ones!!
(Martha Eskuchen 4:54pm March 20, 2009)

:) Totally agree with your great grandma...Thank the lord for a good, decent boring day. Sometimes their the ones that you enjoy the most. :)
(Rachael Grime 7:36pm March 20, 2009)

Glad to hear you are recovering. It is
frightening just how fast our lives can
change and we have absolutely no
control over what happens. We don't
appreciate how important our health is
until something happens to it. As you
well know, no one realizes how bad it
can get until you are there. It puts a
whole new perspective on what is
important. Hope you continue to
improve. Keep up the good writing.

Wow! That really was quite a ride. Glad to hear you came through it OK.
