A Cozy Mystery With a Twist…
Liz Adams never imagined when she moved to Charleston with her truth sniffing Labrador retriever, Duke, that she would use her skills as a private investigator to avoid winding up on Death Row.
Liz’s life is upended when her best friend, Peg, is murdered and she becomes a suspect.Liz’s gun was the murder weapon. Tensions flare between Liz and the cops as she rises to the top of their suspect list.
At the request of Peg’s father, Liz agrees to take on the investigation. Riding a roller coaster of emotions, Liz uncovers many secrets Peg kept from her despite their being best friends. The suspects include a cast of characters: the ex-husband, the boyfriend, a coworker, several neighbors, and family members.
Charleston Conundrum takes the reader from Charleston, South Carolina, to Paris and back in the emotional unraveling of Peg’s life and death to a killer ending.

Thanks so much for featuring Charleston Conundrum and including the Conundrum Cocktail recipe. The drink was created by an Irish Pub in Houston, Hugh O’Connors, where I had the launch party for the book. Tastes like a tropical Cosmo.
You’re welcome! Thanks for stopping & for the recipe!
I think that Charleston, South Carolina – not to mention Paris – are wonderful setting for a book.
