She Doesn’t Have a Clue

YA author Moke’s (Samantha Knox series) funny, fast-paced adult debut is a mystery/romance hybrid set at a wedding weekend on a private island near Seattle. Among the attendees is Kate Valentine, struggling to write her next mystery, whose deadline has long passed. The groom-to-be is her ex-fiancé, but he’s also her editor, so Kate couldn’t say no to his invitation. On the bright side, she’s hoping a weekend at an atmospheric estate will refuel her writing mojo. Then she stumbles across a body and is suspected of poisoning her ex’s new fiancée. When another member of the wedding party dies, Kate begins investigating to prove she isn’t the culprit. Helping her out is her former writing partner (and also former flame), Jake Hawkins. As Kate investigates this real-life mystery, she realizes that what she thought would never be possible with Jake just could be. The colorful cast of characters have complicated relationships, many of which give them reason to kill.
