KILLER KNOTS
Troubled waters lie dead ahead when hairstylist Marla Shore and her fiancé Dalton Vail sail away on their first Caribbean cruise with a killer on board. Exotic ports, art auctions, and sumptuous buffets beckon, but Marla ignores temptation and musters her snooping skills to expose the culprit. She’d better find him fast, before her next shore excursion turns into a trip to Davy Jones’s locker.
“Delightful...think The Love Boat meets Sex and the City.” MaryJanice Davidson, NY Times Bestselling Author
“Fans of vacation mysteries will enjoy watching Marla find her way through this light whodunit.” Publisher’s Weekly
“Cohen’s latest Marla Shore novel shines with the compelling drama of an old-fashioned whodunit.
A cruise ship is the perfect setting for this closed-door mystery.” RT BOOK Reviews
