DEAD... IF ONLY
Lee Alvarez, star investigator of the detective agency to the stars of Silicon Valley, has to track down a nasty, mean bad guy who should be dead but isn’t. Or was it just a rumor? Because he’s been seen In New Orleans by Lee’s pregnant sister-in-law who is there, along with the other members of the Alvarez Clan, to open one of her satellite hat shops. Suddenly the police are accusing Lee’s SIL of all kinds of dastardly deeds that should be laid at the feet of the purportedly dead man! Once landing in the birthplace of jazz, anything that can go wrong does. Someone breaks into Lee's hotel room and lets her beloved cats out. The magnificent house in the Garden District where the rest of the family is staying is a little short on a hostess who has not been seen for two days. Then a child goes missing. And a woman with the gift of “sight” predicts baaaaad things are about to happen to our ace detective. Just Who Do the Voodoo?
The CEO Came DOA
It’s only six am and on-the-job, ace detective, Lee Alvarez, is staring up a man hanging from the center beam of his boardroom wearing nothing but his baby blue undershorts. And she hasn’t even had her coffee yet. And this is just one more thing that might get in the way of her very own Christmas Wedding. Especially as her drop-dead gorgeous Navy SEAL groom is nowhere to be found. A covert mission to where? But Lee just can’t leave the young teenage girl who is now fatherless, and is looking to Lee to prove her father didn’t commit suicide. Who has time to think about getting married or bridal gown fittings? But don’t say that to her formidable boss and mom, the elegant Lila Alvarez, who’s planning every aspect of her daughter’s wedding. No matter what, Lee will have the wedding of Lila’s dreams. And as Lee keeps stumbling across more dead bodies – it’s just as well her wedding is out of her hands. When Lee uncovers a little-known drug of lethal proportions, she knows things could get nasty, nasty. Well! Bring it on!
The Culinary Art of Murder
Disguised in a ghastly, itchy wig and wearing fake buck teeth, ace detective Lee Alvarez poses as the new “pearl-diver” or dishwasher at a culinary arts school to find out who did in one of the teaching chefs in the dry pantry. But it's surely not her uncle’s new lady-friend, now under arrest for the crime! Even with the help of the family, both human and feline – that would be her bro, mom, uncle, hubby, and furry Tugger – it seems every student and teacher has more to hide than just dirty dishes. But Lee just can’t leave the more ‘mature’ couple to the fickle finger of fate. She must solve this crime. But is Lee up to a near-death experience, even if it’s slathered in chocolate? You betcha! Together, the charming but eccentric detective family work to clear Tio's new love from going to the hoosegow for a murder she didn't commit.
