A laugh-out-loud tropical cozy mystery with a side of domestic comety and paranormal wit, Revenge Cafe is a humorous, fast-paced island caper perfect for fans of Carl Hiaasen's sun-drenched satire and the quirky amateur sleuths of Tara Lush. Featuring a therapy-addicted protagonist, a chaotic Caribbean restaurant rescue, and a literal ghost in the dining room, this witty crime mystery delivers the perfect blend of humor and heat.
Mandy is probably the only person ever to be addicted to therapy. But after getting fired from her job and totaling her car (again), she gives up the therapist's couch cold turkey and moves to the Caribbean. Her old friend, Chance, is waiting for her there with the promise of a fresh start. She'll have her dream career of running a restaurant. She'll live in paradise where the relaxed pace makes stress impossible. She'll have all the rum she could ever want always within arm's reach. What could possibly go wrong?Lots. Apparently lots could go wrong.
Shortly after landing on island, Mandy discovers Chance's murdered body in the restaurant's freezer. And his death might just be her fault. Topping the list of suspects is Mandy's old boyfriend and a former police officer whose former status is all Mandy's doing. But when she learns Chance had been dabbling in a variety of activities that may or may not have been legal, not only does the list of suspects grow, but it seems she's now positioned to be the next victim.
Meanwhile, she's juggling the responsibilities of managing the restaurant and planning Chance's memorial, both of which she is ill-equipped to do, particularly while lacking the advice of a good shrink. On top of that, there's a ghost in the dining room messing up closing time and a too-sexy police detective vying for her attention. Oh yeah, and that killer who's still on the loose is possibly drinking on the barstool next to her.
They say revenge is sweet, but Mandy's pretty sure it's sweetest when it's on the rocks. If only she lives long enough to taste-test that theory.
