The Type-A Guide to Dinner Parties
A Sunset Ridge Mystery | Book 2
November 19, 2024
Perfect for fans of Southern small-town cozies with a witty, fast-paced edge — Sam Prescott sold a tech company, moved to the mountains of North Carolina, and somehow keeps stumbling into murder. She brings her signature Type-A intensity (and rescue dog Arlo) to every situation. Light, funny, and satisfying.
A party becomes perilous when murder is on the menu.
Samantha Prescott, the epitome of Type-A organization, is determined to prove that hosting the perfect dinner party is a precise art form. From meticulously arranged seating to an RSVP system that could rival NASA's mission control, Sam's approach is nothing short of perfection.
As she sends out invitations with embedded polls on dietary restrictions, arranges the table with military precision, and thoughtfully places cards for a seating arrangement worthy of a royal banquet, Sam believes she has anticipated every possible hiccup. Little did she know that a murder would be the unexpected guest at her rigorously planned dinner.
Now, armed with her trusty lists, suspect scorecards, and a flair for deduction, Sam embarks on a quest to unmask the killer hiding among her seemingly well-mannered guests. Will she crack the case before dessert, or will her Type-A tendencies become a recipe for disaster?
