    When veterinarian and amateur naturalist Jasmine Garr is shot in her yard, residents of Shell Island press caterer River Holloway into investigating the homicide. River dons her amateur sleuth cap and sets out to discover who killed her former catering customer.

     

    Between Jasmine's estranged cousin, a rival veterinarian, a wild animal trapper, the chicken lady, and a real estate broker, River has plenty of suspects to consider. As she peels back the layers of Jasmine's life, dangerous secrets come to light.

     

    Jasmine's orphaned kitty, Iris, along with River's cat Major, and her husband Pete help River sift through the evidence. At the same time, River recently expanded her catering business.

      A desperate mother begs caterer River Holloway to find her grown son, Chili Bolz, who's gone missing.   Deputy Lance Hamlyn, a newcomer to Shell Island, has hit a dead-end in trying to locate the missing man. Familiar with River's reputation, he attempts to team up with her, hoping her inside track with the locals might aid his investigation. But the simple missing person case begins to boil over into something far more frightening when Chili's mother falls victim to a brutal assault. Worse, her dying words to River seem to incriminate more than one of River's friends in both kidnapping and, now, murder.   While Deputy Hamlyn conducts the formal criminal investigation, River uses her time between catering events to do some sleuthing on her own. Her efforts are hampered by the unexpected return of her absentee boyfriend, who has his own reasons for keeping her safe. With the number of suspects growing longer than her food shopping list, River soon finds herself caught in an unsavory recipe for disaster. She must locate the missing Chili and discover who killed his mother before her own goose is quite literally cooked!   Maggie Toussaint serves up a fun and captivating read in Seas the Day, the first in her Seafood Caper Mystery series! Complete with Southern recipes.

      The death of island playboy Curtis Marlin doesn't register on busy caterer River Holloway's radar…that is, until her brother and his girlfriend are arrested for the former athlete's murder. Certain of the pair's innocence, the amateur sleuth sets out to investigate. Suspicion on the island spreads like chocolate sauce when River questions the victim's teammates. The suspects don't appreciate her stirring up trouble, but she won't let an election-hungry sheriff make her brother a sacrificial lamb.   But there's more than murder on River's to-do list. A missing groom, catered banquets, and River's own wedding plans keep her hopping like a short order cook. And as the cherry on the sundae, she has a wild kitty to tame. Under mossy oaks and rustling palmettoes, fact and fiction blend in a mouthwatering romp of good eatin' and yummy recipes. Spawning Suspicion is the second in Toussaint's Seafood Capers Mystery Series.
