The third installment in Sherry Harris's Agatha Award-nominated
series finds former Chicago librarian Chloe Jackson loving her new life
as a bartender in Florida...until a surprise visit from her Windy City
ex-fiancé ends with him blown away in the Panhandle!
DEAD EXES TELL NO TALES
Saloon owner Chloe Jackson appears to have a secret admirer. She's
pouring drinks at the Sea Glass Saloon in Emerald Cove when an airplane
flies by above the beach with a banner reading I LOVE YOU CHLOE JACKSON.
She immediately rules out Rip Barnett. They are in the early stages of
dating and no one has said the L word. Then a bouquet of lilacs--her
favorite flower--is delivered to the bar, followed by an expensive
bottle of her favorite sparkling wine. It couldn't be...
Sure enough, her ex-fiancé from Chicago has flown down to Florida for an
accountants' convention. But is he trying to mix business with pleasure
and win her back? Unfortunately he's not in a hotel conference room,
he's floating facedown in the lake next to her house, clutching a photo
of Chloe. Who murders an accountant on a business trip--it just doesn't
add up. When Rip becomes the prime suspect, Chloe is determined to find
the secret murderer. But if she isn't careful, it may be closing time
and lights out for her...
