Coconut Confessions by Addison Moore

Welcome to the Coconut Cove Paradise Resort, where the roosters crow all day long, the murder rate is surprisingly high, and apparently my love life requires a body count to kickstart things.

Cosmopolitan Magazine calls Addison’s books, “…easy, frothy fun!”
Humor with a side of homicide.

A laugh out loud standalone cozy mystery by New York Times, USA TODAY, & Wall Street Journal bestseller Addison Moore. Includes RECIPE!

I thought I was applying for a barista job at a cozy inn in Maine. Turns out there was a typo—or the universe has a twisted sense of humor—because now I’m managing a falling-apart resort on Kauai’s North Shore where the pools look like science experiments and the electrical system was apparently installed by someone who learned wiring from a cereal box.

My name is Jinx Julep, and yes, the nickname fits. I’ve got auburn hair that defies humidity, a talent for stumbling into trouble, and a recently divorced status that led me to this slice of paradise held together by duct tape and optimism.

Everything is going surprisingly well until I find a body floating face-down in our infamous green pool. Now I’m conducting amateur murder investigations with my two senior citizen sidekicks, dodging the advances of a grumpy but devastatingly attractive detective, and trying to keep our ramshackle resort from collapsing into the ocean while figuring out which of our colorful guests decided murder was an acceptable vacation activity. Okay, fine, I’m not dodging a thing when it comes to Mr. Hot Stuff who happens to be packing heat. But who could blame me? The man looks like he was personally sculpted by Hawaiian legends and comes with his own handcuffs.

Did I mention the stray cats that run this place, the red dirt that gets into everything, and the roosters who think they’re the actual resort management?

Everyone is a suspect. And if I don’t figure out who’s killing our guests, the only thing deader than our victim will be my new career in paradise.
