Taryn O'Kelly Mystery Series

Reader Reviews

“You have a real talent for storytelling. I am spreading the word. I love to see good authors succeed, and hurry up with the next book, I am waiting!”— Pat

“I loved this one more than the last. The adventure was great.”— G. M.

“I love how your books end. You tie every last detail together, and everyone truly gets a happy ending. A lot of books I read only focus on the main plot ending, but yours feel complete.”— Char

“Well-written, Clifton weaves in the romance of Taryn and Alex with humor, including a few laugh-out-loud moments. This is the second in the series, but is easily read out of order.”— Christa Reads and Writes

“Action-packed follow-up to the series debut! While this book could be enjoyed as a standalone novel, it would be best read after having enjoyed the previous one.”— Boys’ Mom Reads!

Description

Taryn wanted sun, cocktails, and relaxation. Instead, she and Alex found themselves tangled in yet another deadly puzzle.

After months of chaos and a near-death experience, Taryn and Alex are desperate for a break. A romantic cruise seems like the perfect escape. Adventurous excursions, tropical drinks, and uninterrupted passion. But their dream vacation takes a dark turn when a danger from the past resurfaces, and bodies start piling up.

Trapped in the middle of a sinister plot, Taryn must unravel the mystery before the killer strikes again. With a vengeful drug cartel lurking in the shadows, the stakes are higher than ever. Will Taryn’s sharp instincts be enough to outmaneuver the enemy, or will their dream getaway become a deadly nightmare?

Author’s Note:

For the adventurer at heart, Cruises, Cocktails, and Corpses took Taryn (and me!) out of the mountains and onto the open water. Sunshine, sea breezes, tropical cocktails… and a little murder. I loved seeing how Taryn handles a mystery far from home; turns out murder doesn’t take a holiday. Even in paradise, trouble finds her, and that’s exactly why I love writing these cozy adventures!
