When Tilly Snapp's eccentric Aunt Ginger dies in a
parasailing accident and names her as her sole heir, Tilly
knows just how it feels to be Alice falling down the rabbit
hole. It's bad enough that Tilly is stuck with Aunt
Ginger's shop Erratica, 'Emporium of Curiosities for the
Discriminating Collector'; she also left her a huge problem
that involves one tall, dark and extremely handsome
Interpol agent. The very valuable Pillow Box of Win Win
Pooh containing sex paraphernalia has been stolen and since
it's believed that Tilly's aunt was the last person to have
it in her possession, Tilly has become a person of interest
to every government agency who's initials you know, and
some you don't.
When Tilly discovers that her aunt was actually murdered,
she'll stop at nothing to find the murderer, even start her
own investigation. With the help of two of her best
friends and a group of her aunt's wacky tenants, Tilly sets
off to catch a killer. In order to do her own
investigating though, she must stay ahead of Interpol agent
Will Maitland, which may be a problem because she really
wouldn't mind at all if he catches her.
Too bad summer's over because this is the perfect beach
read. IT HAPPENED IN SOUTH BEACH will keep you entertained
and have you laughing out-loud. Filled with wisecracks and
sarcasm, you'll hate to put it down until the end. If
you're like me and don't typically read books that are
written in the first person, do yourself a favor and read
it anyways. After the first chapter, you'll be so caught
up in the book, you won't even notice what format it's in.
A definite keeper for those times you need a good pick me
up.
If she's a beauteous, bodacious babe, gettin' down, gettin'
it on, gettin' her man, she's definitely not good old Tilly
Snapp. So what's the safe, sensible twenty-six-year-old
Bostonian doing in Miami's ultra-hip, super-chic South
Beach, where the rich and famous go to gape at the rich and
famous, hip-hop rules, and the poodles wear Versace?
She's on the trail of the fabled Pillow Box of Win Win
Poo--the most valuable collection of antique erotic
"accessories" in the world. And she's after the fiend who
murdered her eccentric Aunt Ginger. And while Tilly might
not know the difference between a velvet tickle pickle and a
kosher dill, with the assistance of the unnervingly sexy yet
maddingly unhelpful Special Agent Will Maitland of Interpol,
she's about to get a crash course in sex-ed on everything
her juniour high health teacher forgot to mention.
