Jennifer Ward’s To Do List:
1) Turn in my business partner and his lying, cheating, law-breaking client to the SEC for insider trading.
2)Cooperate with the FBI. Do not kiss – scratch that. Do not yell at Special Agent Nicholas Kelly, the FBI agent leading said investigation.
3) Discover a dead body…

Jennifer Ward, MBA, CPA, and business consultant, likes a nice, orderly lifestyle. Schedules and To Do Lists are what gets her through the day. So when the by-the-numbers fashionista finds her business partner was breaking the law, she turned him in to the SEC. Which brought the FBI to her door, and her ordered world to an end.

But that was three weeks ago. Things couldn’t possibly get worse. Right?

Until Jen discovers her business partner dead in his hotel room. With Nic the handsome FBI agent dogging her every step, Jen must use her skills to discover the truth. Who killed Henry? And will she be next?

Annabelle Hunter's books are fun, frothy, romantic and murderous, oh and short enough to read quickly!

This book provides the background that was touched on in the second Lark Davies book (Stir Up), Jen has discovered anomalies in some accounts, that seem to indicate dodgy accounting at best, insider trading and money laundering seems more likely! So to Barrow Bay comes the FBI and SEC, the FBI agent (Nic Kelly) gets under Jen's skin but seems to be accepted by pretty much everyone else (oh and the Barrow Bay "mafia" aka those in the know, have decided that as the local resort needs a Head of Security Nic is the perfect person …. Jen is supposed to make him want to stay!)

Three weeks after all this has happened Nic and the FBI are back, Jen has had a text from her business partner (the dodgy accountant!) asking to meet so he can explain things, only he can't as just as Jen arrives (with Nic tagging along) there are gunshots inside Henry's hotel room! Now Nic and Jen (oh and Lark!) need to find out what happened as people are starting to think that Jen knows a LOT more than she does!

An Interview With A Character

What is your full name?

Jennifer Ward

What is your Profession?

CPA & business consultant

What is your current favourite book or movie?

Well, I tend to watch old TV shows more than movies, and right now I’m re-watching Sex in the City. I love the clothes. And the shoes. Oh, my, the shoes. 

What is your go to comfort book or movie?

Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Really, anything with Audrey Hepern in it is nice, but Breakfast at Tiffany’s is my favorite. 

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? 

I would love for Kaley Couco to play me, at least the one from the last few years. She sassy and doesn’t let anyone get the better of her, but still has a big heart. 

What is your ideal evening?

Sitting at home relaxing and watching TV. Or out drinking with my best friend, Lark.
