The Happiest Place to Die

Three friends. One trip of a lifetime. One deadly secret.

Perfect for fans of The Thursday Murder Club, Freida McFadden, and mysteries packed with friendship, secrets, and twists.

Available in Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Paperback.
Paperback Release Date: July 15

Every October, Gayle, Carol, and Lynn escape to somewhere unforgettable — just the three of them. It’s their tradition. Their reset. Their chance to reconnect and leave the real world behind.

This year, they invite Karen, an acquaintance and longtime customer who seems to need a fresh start.

Orlando, Florida. Sunshine, laughter, late-night conversations, and a vacation that should have been magical.

But before the trip is over, tragedy strikes.

Now secrets are surfacing, friendships are unraveling, and someone will do anything to keep the past buried.

Step into the world of The October Girls Mysteries — where friendship runs deep, secrets don’t stay buried, and murder was never on the itinerary.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Good Reads Review
"This book was an absolute blast from beginning to end! What starts as a fun girls’ getaway quickly spirals into a gripping murder mystery filled with twists, secrets, and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. The author perfectly captures the dynamics of friendship—the banter, the loyalty, and even the occasional drama—which made the characters feel like old friends.

The mystery itself was brilliantly paced. Just when I thought I had everything figured out, another clue or shocking revelation sent me in an entirely different direction. I stayed up way too late because I simply had to know who did it!

What makes this book so special is its perfect balance of suspense and heart. It’s equal parts cozy mystery, thrilling whodunit, and celebration of female friendship. If you’re looking for a page-turner that’s entertaining, clever, and impossible to put down, this is it.

I loved every minute of this wild girls’ trip and can’t recommend it highly enough. Five enthusiastic stars!"
