Teased to Death

By Gina LaManna

It's all fun and dance, until a body turns up. When Misty Newman returned home to rural Minnesota, the residents of Little Lake were surprised-and not in a good way. Having skipped town ten years before with a scholarship in hand and the shiniest of futures, Misty took a nasty fall from grace when she dropped out of college to become a Hollywood burlesque dancer. Though she didn't hope for a welcome home parade or an invitation to join the Monday night knitting club, Misty never expected to become the number one suspect in a murder case However when her landlord is found strangled by her fishnet stockings, things don't look good for Misty. To make matters worse, the town sheriff-Misty's ex-almost-fianc -happens to agree. All Misty wants is to fix up her grandmother's cozy house, revive her struggling dance studio, and rekindle the old friendships she's neglected...but if Misty doesn't find out who's responsible for the death soon, she may just be next on the killer's list "Gina LaManna had me laughing out loud from the very first page. Misty Newman is one sassy, sexy, smart heroine, and I can't wait to read more of her " -Gemma Halliday New York Times bestselling mystery author

cozy murder mystery

A fun cozy small town murder mystery. After an injury sidelined her dance career creating a change into burlesque dancing, Misty returns to her hometown to claim her inheritance from her deceased grandma & spend time with her little sister. Coming back after being gone since high school graduation brings mixed results. Misty opens a burlesque studio and is reunited with her best friend Donna, her ex fiance Jax (who is now town police), nosy town folk, & kindergarten nemesis Sarah. Misty's landlord turns up dead and she's the prime suspect so she & Donna investigate on their own with hilarious circumstances uncovering secret underground comic stores and their customers along with underlying tension between Misty & Jax. Hopefully there will be more books featuring Misty.
