You are cordially invited to a destination wedding to die for… Welcome to Bocas del Toro, a remote chain of islands off the Caribbean coast of Panama. Five days of glorious sun and lush rainforest await the forty guests celebrating Bridezilla Olivia’s dream wedding—but will a grisly murder sink the catered affair? Before anyone’s got time to start working on a tan, an unfortunate snorkeling accident eliminates a member of the wedding party. Maid of honor Lexie Marino smells trouble, and takes it upon herself to investigate, hoping to solve the case before her bestie’s trip down the aisle gets tropically derailed.
Lexie’s a little too tall, a little too awkward, and a little too brokenhearted, but she’s determined to nail the real killer. Can this unlikely sleuth stay afloat as she’s hit by wave after wave of wildly entertaining characters, including an alpha bride, surfing detectives, and a high school flame long forgotten? You’ll find yourself laughing until the very end of Drowning Lessons, a debut cozy mystery that makes the perfect beach read. Rub in some coconut oil, dangle your feet in the crystal-blue waters of Starfish Beach, and sip a cool drink as Lexie discovers the deductive superpowers she never knew she had. Let the party begin!
This is the first book of five in the Red Frog Beach Mystery Series. For information, updates, and mouth watering Caribbean recipes, please check out rachelneuburger.com
An Interview With A Character
What is your full name?
I’m Olivia Fowler, but I’m very soon to be Olivia Parker. We’re headed to Panama to get married, so I will happily soon be Mrs. Walter Parker.
What is your Profession?
I own a small chain of gyms called Femme Fit-all. The difference being that we send trainers to your house to show you how to work out with whatever you have in your house. Candlesticks, doorstops, seven volumes of Harry Potter… I used to be a writer, but that didn’t… I own gyms.
What is your current favourite book or movie?
I so loved Crazy Rich Asians. I saw it on a plane back from the Caribbean. What a wedding! Whenever someone accuses me of planning an over the top wedding, I tell them to go watch that movie. I’m totally in check with mine.
What is your go to comfort book or movie?
Roman Holiday. I could watch it every day. Walter took me to see all the locations in Rome. Even Via Margutta 51. Oh, and all of Shakespeare’s Henry plays. I love my Henries.
If someone was to play you in a movie who would it be? OR what would be the character you would want to be in a book?
You’ll be surprised to find out that I’ve thought about this before. Faye Dunaway. The way she looked in Chinatown. Beautiful. Classic. So if you could take her and make her a little blonder. I’ve been told I look like her, you know? It’s true. I mean, I can see it.
What is your ideal evening?
I’m easy. Just dinner out at a nice Italian restaurant. Well, not just nice. Really nice. Shaved truffles on pasta and expensive champagne. Not that it has to be expensive, but you know what I mean. And while we’re at it, why don’t we put the restaurant in Rome?
I’m not over the top.
