Book excerpt: In this new mystery series from New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Rowe, the irreverent, underappreciated, and alarmingly talented Mia Murphy risks it all to do the right thing…even if it means doing the wrong thing. A high-octane, feel-good romp starring women you'll wish were your best friends, an inconveniently attractive cop, a posse of gray-haired quilters with a fondness for margaritas, and an eccentric town with more secrets than Mia's con artist mom. "An enjoyable and suspenseful whodunit with a smart, captivating hero." ~Kirkus Reviews All Mia Murphy wants is an ordinary, law-abiding life. Accidentally marrying a drug kingpin? Easily fixed with an anonymous tip to the FBI…which resulted in a not-so-voluntary, surprisingly stressful stint as an undercover spy against him. But with her ex finally in prison and assassins in her rearview mirror, Mia is off to Diamond Lake in Bass Derby, Maine with King Tut, her rescue (aka purloined) cat, to start over. Upon arrival, Mia quickly finds a couple of soulmates in a blue-haired "I'll show you what old is" café owner and a baton-twirling mail carrier. Life is headed in the right direction...until the trio stumbles across a dead body during a slightly illegal but well-intentioned home invasion. When one of her new besties is arrested for the murder, Mia is the only one with the skills to ferret out the real killer…but she can't afford to resurrect her morally flexible past. Can Mia keep her life on the straight and narrow with so much at stake? Or will a homicidal, jet-skiing moose, a dead Mr. January firefighter, and an overzealous mayor take them all down? Mia has to step up, or she'll lose her chance for the life she's always wanted and the friends she's never had. Even worse, she might wind up dead… "A laugh-out-loud, nail-biting, page-turning read." ~Riding Reviewer "Double Twist is a delightfully witty, fast paced whodunit with incredibly likeable characters whose hair-raising schemes trying to solve a murder to prove their friend innocent are priceless." Lisa's Cubby, Five Stars "OMG, I love Mia Murphy…What a fun-loving, non-stop, action-packed whodunit that I could not put down." ~ Dru's Book Musings "The book is so funny (I mean SO funny!)…the twists and turns they get into, there's no predicting it! I loved the story." ~Five-star Goodreads review (Maureen W) "This is one of the funniest books I've read in a long time…I loved this book so much that I want to read the next in the series right now. Kudos to the author. Highly recommended." ~Joanna's Books Blog (Five Stars) "Strong early Stephanie Plum vibes, and that is certainly a compliment…I will absolutely keep reading this delightful series." Five-star Goodreads Review (Karen H.) "I want King Tut…because who doesn’t want a guard cat that looks like a bobcat? I love it and can’t wait for the second entry to hit. THIS IS THE COZY SERIES TO READ AND FOLLOW!" Five-star Goodreads Review (LittleRead) ABOUT THE AUTHOR: New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Stephanie Rowe is the author of more than fifty published novels. This is her first mystery, but it won't be her last (because it's just so freaking FUN to write!). Notably, she is a Vivian® Award nominee, a RITA® Award winner and five-time nominee, and Golden Heart® Award winner and two-time nominee. She loves her puppies, tennis, and being as sassy and irreverent as her heroines. She's pretty sure dead bodies are better in fiction than real life, but hey, never say never, right?
