Party Planning for Murder - Book 1 - Taryn O'Kelly Mystery Series
Description:
The first novel in the Taryn O’Kelly Mystery Series!
Taryn O’Kelly just wants to grow her party-planning business, find a nice guy, and maybe even start a family. But her plans fall apart when a wedding she’s organizing is rocked by a shocking murder.
Her best friend Kandice is thrilled to dive into detective work, but Taryn isn’t so sure—especially with a clingy ex causing chaos, a boyfriend who disappears at all the wrong times, and her business on the line. Still, with danger closing in, Taryn has no choice but to join forces with Kandice to solve the case before the killer strikes again.
Meet Taryn O’Kelly: a coffee-loving, wine-sipping, party-planning sleuth with a knack for trouble and a refusal to quit. With Kandice at her side, every investigation comes with banter, mishaps, and plenty of laughs.
Packed with twists, small-town secrets, and just the right dash of romance, Party Planning for Murder is perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich’s style of writing, witty female sleuths, and lighthearted cozy mysteries with friendship at their heart.
Author’s Note:
Party Planning for Murder is where Taryn O’Kelly first burst onto the scene, armed with coffee, determination, and a stubborn refusal to let a little murder ruin a perfectly good event.
This book launched the entire series and captures everything I love about cozies: friendship, humor, a touch of romance, and a heroine who won’t quit when things get messy. It’s warm, fun, and the perfect place to curl up and get lost in Taryn’s world.
Taryn’s adventure starts here, even if all she meant to do was plan a simple party.
