About

Join two authors who prove that murder can be a laughing matter and that true crime and true love don’t always mix. All served with tea, coffee and a slice of cake! In No One Was Supposed to Die at This Wedding, Catherine Mack returns with her bestselling author-turned-amateur-sleuth Eleanor Dash to a glamorous island wedding — only for a storm (and a suspicious death threat) to crash the celebration. Cue secrets, scandals and a whole lot of bad luck. Meanwhile, in The Retirement Plan, Sue Hincenbergs brings a wicked twist to the golden years by introducing three fed-up friends who realize the only thing standing between them and beachfront bliss is their very-much-alive husbands. Murder plots, midlife crises and misfiring schemes ensue.

Moderated by Aparita Bhandari.

The Retirement Plan

After thirty years of friendship, Pam dreams of her perfect retirement with Nancy, Shalisa, Marlene, and their husbands—until the husbands pool their funds in an investment that goes terribly wrong. With their dreams of beachfront condos and a sunny, carefree retirement shattered, the women’s golden years are looking as dreary as their marriages.

Attending your best friend's wedding should be a piece of (wedding) cake, but not for Eleanor Dash, bestselling author of the Vacation Mysteries series. Because murder seems to follow her every time she goes on vacation and is definitely her uninvited plus-one to the special occasion.
