Description
Phyllis Smallman's brilliant follow-up to the award-winning, critically acclaimed Margarita Nights.
Sherri Travis is back - tending bar at the Bath and Tennis Club where two women have been murdered. A rich socialite, who comes in daily for her quota of side-cars, decides to commit suicide by being the next victim, but first she has to decide who the murderer is. There are more than enough suspects among the staff. At the head of the list is a charming chef who wants to cook up something hot with Sherri. There is also a gardener lurking in the bushes, and a pool boy who delivers more than fresh towels. With hurricane Myrna raging into the gulf, a murdered tourist at her feet, and a fallen palm tree blocking the only road off the island, Sherri battles to stay alive as the murderer closes in...
PHYLLIS SMALLMAN's love of books led to various library jobs after which she became a productions potter who dreamed of being a writer. Depending on the time of year, she can be found on Salt Springs Island, British Columbia; Hamilton, Ontario or a beach in Southwest Florida.
Advance Praise
Praise for Phyllis Smallman
‘Phyllis Smallman is a gifted writer, and has a strong and captivating protagonist in Sherri Travis..... Her works are attracting a growing legion of admiring fans' The Sherbrooke Record
‘The plot keeps the reader guessing, with plenty of twists and turns, and the setting is well-drawn, taking us from the most sordid depths of Jacaranda to the heights of the well-heeled with equal ease. This is a very impressive, well-written, tightly constructed first novel, and I look forward to the next book in the series.' DorothyL
‘Phyllis Smallman, remember that name' Louise Penny, author of the Inspector Gamache series
‘Murder, a bar, and the beach make for a delicious mix.' The Lethbridge Herald
‘A terrific book, with snappy dialogue and rapid pacing...' Winnipeg Free Press
‘In Sherri Travis, (Smallman) has crafted a spunky sleuth in the grand tradition of the whodunnit's amateur detective. Written in Sherri's breezy, colloquial voice, Margarita Nights offers more depth and darkness than its bright cover might suggest.' McNallyRobinson.ca
‘Characters you'd love to have a drink with and a sense of place that captures the essence of the Sunshine State.' The Hamilton Spectator
‘Travis is a likable, if rather rough, soul who hopefully will appear in another book soon.' Waterloo Record
