Help Lainey Crack the Case in... A CUTE LITTLE MURDER

Follow Lainey Piper as she tried to unlock the secrets of the Crossings Hotel in A CUTE LITTLE MURDER.

In my second-ever murder mystery, Lainey and Harlow Drake built an online fandom solving small-town crimes. Harlow was the star, Lainey the behind-the-scenes genius (and often, Harlow’s scapegoat). Years later, Harlow’s hosting a hit true crime tv show. Lainey? She’s working in forensics. Well, forensic accounting . . . from home. In pajamas. With her cat.

When Harlow faces significant backlash over fumbling a case, she needs a quick win—like a special investigation into the decades-old disappearance of a starlet from a once-glamorous, now decrepit island hotel.

The catch? It’s bankrolled by long-time fans, who have one requirement for their funding: Lainey has to play the sidekick again.

Lainey has to use all of her previously unappreciated detective skills to unravel  passageways, poisonous museum exhibits, hidden speakeasies, impossible codes, and why her “employers” keep trying to open champagne bottles with a sword.

A CUTE LITTLE MURDER is being released by Berkley/Penguin Random House in April in print, eBook and audio. Amanda Ronconi is recording it now! And she says she was surprised by the ending, so I’m pretty psyched about that.
