Beach Reads and Deadly Deeds

She has to be. Between her high-demand job and taking care of her grandmother and her cats, she has little time for anything else. What time she does have, she pours into reading. Mysteries, romances, thrillers…books filled with women who are far more impulsive than she would ever dream of being. Now, forced into taking a long-overdue vacation, she finds herself on a luxurious private island where she just might have a chance to reinvent herself—for a little while, anyway. She can explore the island. Flirt shamelessly with a cute bartender. Have a vacation fling. Live like a heroine in one of her favorite novels.

Be sure to pack this one in your beach bag. Allison Brennan has crafted the perfect summer read." —Elle Cosimano, New York Times bestselling author of the Finlay Donovan mysteries
