Dying to Live Here

Dying to Live Here is a funny, sunny cozy set in the Sunshine State.

Readers will get a kick out of the friends’ misadventures as they try to clear Laura‘s name in a murder investigation sparked by a fiercely competitive HOA. Sharp writing, a clever mystery, entertaining characters, and the tropical Florida setting will entice readers to pay more than one visit to author Marsh’s Estate Sale Mysteries.

Rosemary & Thyme meet Desperate Housewives in Dying to Live Here, the fabulous new mystery from author Shelley Marsh!

All seems perfect in the fashionable enclave of Harbor Shores, Florida…until one of the residents turns up dead. What follows is a rollicking cozy whodunnit featuring Emma and Laura, two long-time friends who may be lacking in the sleuthing department, but more than make up for it through their ride-or-die commitment to each other. There’s a list of suspects long enough to run the length of highway A1A. And if that wasn’t enough, there’s a hunky lawyer who has his eyes on Emma but may or may not have the best of intentions in mind.

Will Emma and Laura unwind the clues in time to prevent Laura from getting tossed in the slammer? And how will a major hurricane bearing down on the Jacksonville area factor into the investigation? Will it help Emma and Laura blow the roof off the murderer’s plans or blow their crime-fighting efforts to smithereens?

Grab your copy of Dying to Live Here and hold on tight for a mystery ride like no other.
