Knives, poison, strangulation—ER nurse Darcy Cavanaugh is
about to show—and—tell all kinds of deathly dos and don'ts
for a mystery writers' workshop at sea. Teaching A Nurses'
Guide to Murder in exchange for a Caribbean cruise was a
small price to pay for what should have been a vacation in
paradise. That is, if she didn't have to share deck space
with her boyfriend's uptight mother! Aspiring novelist and
wife to a powerful Virginia judge, Mrs. Skyler wishes her
son had better breeding prospects than a redheaded Yankee
from California. To make matters worse, the Skyler matriarch
wants to submit her novel to a merciless agent whose biting
criticism is matched only by her squawking, sailor—tongued
parrot. In a crazy twist, a real murder takes place and the judge's
wife becomes the main suspect. To protect her boyfriend's
mother, Darcy scrambles to peg the real killer from a
tangled and nutty cast of desperate writers, overzealous
fans, and distracting male cover models with killer abs.
