What's cooking at the Sunny Side Up? Murder!

Poor, pretty Jennifer Hazzard. She's minding her own business, mixing up a bowl of blueberry pancake batter, when someone comes in and conks her over the head. Sitting with her face in the bowl of batter, she's not so pretty anymore. Just dead.


DEATH OVER EASY
An Emma Trace Mystery
COMING IN SEPTEMBER 2013 FROM
FIVE STAR PUBLISHING



Meet Emma Trace: mid-thirties, risk-averse, eeking out a living as a freelance editor and going nowhere fast.

As she races to win a birthday bet to avoid a flight in her daredevil uncle’s aerobatic airplane, the cook at her favorite breakfast spot is found murdered, and Emma is under suspicion. Forced to look for clues to clear her name, Emma becomes the target of a vicious killer when she uncovers an elaborate blackmail scheme involving members of her small community. And although she’s terrified to fly, Emma knows there may be no other way to prevent further killings and save the life of the man she loves.

DEATH OVER EASY is a breezy mystery with a touch of thriller and the intoxicating fumes of airplane fuel mixed in, set on Long Island’s North Shore.
