Synopsis

“I loved Zapped . . . Good writing with humour and a dab of irony . . . had me hooked right from the opening chapter.” —Jenni Buhr, Goodreads review

“Verburg is a must for fans of the ‘smart cozy’. . . a wonderful cast of characters I hope to meet again soon.” —Sandra J. McGibbon, Amazon review

A posh waterfront lawn party. To Cape Cod inventor Pam Nash, it’s the perfect VIP launch for Zappa, her new “Taser for pacifists.” To Pam's daughter Ashley, it’s the perfect way to celebrate turning 21—and lose whoever's been texting her death threats. To Haggis Mack, the rock bagpiper Ashley's divorcing, it's a shot at clawing back his marriage. To soup-chef Lydia Vivaldi and her Wampanoag partner Mudge Miles, it's a catering offer they can't refuse. To Quansett's most famous recluse, artist-author Edgar Rowdey, who loathes parties, it can't end soon enough.

Sunshine and seafood, champagne and cake, military brass and venture capitalists—what could go wrong? Lydia spots the grim answer floating face down beside the Nashes' dock. Did Ashley’s stalker hit the wrong target? As rumors, dark secrets, and violence ripple through their village, Edgar Rowdey is forced to switch from bystander to sleuth.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

San Francisco writer CJ Verburg is an award-winning playwright, theater director, and author of best-selling books, including the international literature collections Ourselves Among Others and Making Contact. Carol started her literary career before age one, as a storyteller to stuffed animals, and wrote her first novel in her early teens, when she also won her first playwriting award. After graduating from Mount Holyoke College, where she wrote the book and lyrics for the annual Junior Show, she became a cocktail waitress, a part-time boat-builder, and then an in-house and freelance trade and textbook editor in Boston and San Francisco. Her mystery Silent Night Violent Night is an hommage to the noir side of publishing. For many years Carol lived on Cape Cod, up the road from the artist and author Edward Gorey. They became close friends and frequent collaborators on a variety of theatrical and other adventures, which inspired her multimedia memoir Edward Gorey On Stage and her mysteries Croaked and Zapped.
