Death by Side Effects: A Hilarious Feel-Good Cozy Mystery

About Death by Side Effects: A Hilarious Feel-Good Cozy Mystery

A medical summit. A packed resort ballroom. And a keynote speaker who never takes the stage.

On San Malvino, the Azure Resort is usually just a sunny retreat for wealthy tourists and locals looking to unplug. But when a massive pharmaceutical company takes over the property for a high-stakes psychiatric summit and Alex drops in to catch the headline speech, the walk-on music loops endlessly to an empty podium. The star researcher has vanished, and no one has seen him since the cocktail mixer the night before.

Detective Mendoza expects to find the scientist sleeping off a heavy night of VIP networking. Instead, a sweep of the tropical gardens reveals the missing doctor lying dead on the damp moss of the resort’s glass-enclosed orchid house. The corporate schmoozing comes to a sudden stop when Mendoza tapes off the greenhouse and tries to hunt down a ruthless killer in a resort full of doctors.

It's up to Alex, Reg, and Bombay to look past the medical jargon and crack the impossible case. Welcome to San Malvino.
