A MOUTHFUL OF POISON FROG....WHERE'S THE LAW OF THE JUNGLE? Ace detective Lee Alvarez is perfectly cozy at home with her cats when she and her former Navy SEAL husband receive a panicky call from JJ, an archeologist cousin, who's on assignment deep in the Guatemalan jungle. The news? JJ is pregnant-- and the father of her child has gone missing in the wilderness. The site director won't let JJ call the police, so she asks Lee to travel to the jungle and track down her missing man. Begging for help from Lee Alvarez sure makes sense--Lee's family runs Discretionary Inquiries, a ritzy Silicon Val...
A MOUTHFUL OF POISON FROG....WHERE'S THE LAW OF THE JUNGLE? Ace detective Lee Alvarez is perfectly cozy at home with her cats when she and her former Navy SEAL husband receive a panicky call from JJ, an archeologist cousin, who's on assignment deep in the Guatemalan jungle. The news? JJ is pregnant-- and the father of her child has gone missing in the wilderness. The site director won't let JJ call the police, so she asks Lee to travel to the jungle and track down her missing man. Begging for help from Lee Alvarez sure makes sense--Lee's family runs Discretionary Inquiries, a ritzy Silicon Valley P.I. firm. Lee is the star detective, her Uncle Tio's on staff as the genius chef, and Lee's brother, Richard, is a whiz at all things technology. Not to mention the presence of Lee's very high class, upscale, and frankly scary mother Lila. Who--by the way-steamrolls her way onto Lee's jungle trip. A beleaguered Lee, the judgmental and prissy Lila, and Lee's gorgeous SEAL husband (turned partner-in-crime) depart on the adventure of a lifetime, perfect for cozy mystery armchair travelers. And, once in the jungle, the already-gripping story takes a grisly turn: the three investigators have barely arrived in the lush, verdant wilderness when they discover a dead man--the assistant to JJ's missing husband--dressed in traditional Mayan warrior garb with a poisonous frog crammed in his mouth. And that's just for starters: author Haven concocts a wild ride through the jungle that's simultaneously fun, potentially fatal, and always entertaining. Fans of cozy authors like CeeCee James, Hope Callaghan, and of course Janet Evanovich, will discover a new favorite series! Lee's gang will also appeal to lovers of female PIs, especially those with lots of colorful friends and relatives, like Linda Barnes' Carlotta Carlyle and Lisa Lutz's Izzy Spellman. A near certainty: If you like THE SPELLMAN FILES, you'll love the Alvarez family!
