Beschreibung

An idealistic young woman finds working a political campaign can be murder in this romantic suspense novel by “a master storyteller” (Mary Higgins Clark).   Young Erin Hartsock arrives in Washington, DC, with ambition—and little interest in politics. However, when she’s offered a position on a congresswoman’s campaign for the Senate, she’s more than happy to flee her dead-end job to take on what she expects will be boring administrative work . . .   But as the campaign heats up, disturbing events follow. There’s a string of dangerous fires, a violent attack, and a seemingly accidental death. Erin begins to wonder about her colleagues all while they grow suspicious of her. Someone’s got a secret—and with the election looming, Erin must quickly uncover who’s behind the chaos before she becomes a prime candidate for murder.  Previously published under the pseudonym Barbara Michaels  Praise for New York Times–bestseller Elizabeth Peters and Smoke and Mirrors   “[Peters] delivers another sure-fire winner in this romantic adventure set in the smoky, deceptive arena of American politics.” —Publishers Weekly

    When rum collectors collide … 
    When mixologist Pepper Revelle joins the Bohemia Bartenders for what promises to be an entertaining, rum-soaked tiki convention in sultry South Florida, she expects divine ukuleles, sublime swizzles and a chance to know chief bartender Neil a little better. What she gets is chaos — the death of a high-profile rum collector, a cast of sneaky suspects and ten thousand limes to squeeze. 
    With one of their own under suspicion, Pepper and Neil set out to find the real killer. But behind the aloha shirts and cocktail parasols is a blender full of secrets. The centerpiece of the convention is a high-dollar tasting of rums that survived a shipwreck and other disasters, and when a precious bottle vanishes from the crime scene, everyone with a ticket is a suspect. 
    As Pepper tries to keep the insatiable crowd inebriated and her gregarious dog Astra sober, she finds peril under every palm tree. It seems like everybody’s guilty of something. But who’s guilty of murder? And can she and Neil find the culprit before they’re smacked like the mint in a Mai Tai? 
    Wrecked by Rum is the second book in the Bohemia Bartenders Mysteries, funny whodunits with a dash of romance set in a convivial collective of cocktail lovers, eccentrics and mixologists. These quasi-cozy culinary comedies contain a hint of heat, a splash of cursing and shots of laughter, served over hand-carved ice.

    THE YEAR IN REVIEW 2023 - "Wheaton...has created a first-rate protagonist in the sarcastic, suspicious, and determined Bex. The author takes the book further than one might expect, right up to Bex's psychiatric commitment, and seeing her hang in there until the bitter end, and never give up, is fantastic." -Colleen Mondor, LOCUS

After Bex is visited by a malevolent specter of her own, she must get the bottom of this horror before she’s its next victim...

A vital book that will make any neurodivergent young adult feel seen, heard, and understood." - Craig Perry, producer, Final Destination franchise 
    "I loved it. Wheaton has built a buzzsaw of a supernatural thriller here--scary, surprisingly emotional, and loaded with enough twists to keep you guessing till the final page."- James Vanderbilt, screenwriter, Zodiac
