Welcome to Litsy!

With a colorful cast of characters and a cellar full of wine, anything can happen�from murder to a second chance at love�in Jenny Elder Moke's half mystery, half romance adult debut set at a lavish destination wedding. A high-end wedding on a private island off the coast of Seattle sounds like something out of a magazine. But for bestselling mystery author Kate Valentine, it�s more like a nightmare. Why Kate agreed to attend her ex-fianc�s wedding is its own enigma, but she�ll plaster on a fake smile for two nights, with the aid of free champagne, naturally. And because the groom happens to be her editor, she�ll try to finish a draft of her latest Loretta Starling mystery as a wedding gift. When the bride is poisoned and Kate stumbles across a dead body, she finds herself in a real-life mystery that eerily echoes the plot of her latest novel. And the only person who seems willing to help Kate catch the killer is Jake Hawkins, aka: the Hostralian; aka: Kate�s biggest romantic regret. As the wine flows and the weather threatens to hold every guest hostage, bitter resentments and long-held grudges surface amongst the colorful crowd. Anyone could be capable of murder, it seems. What would Loretta do? Unfortunately, Kate doesn�t have a clue.
