PERIL IN PARADISE

An Ivy Snow Mystery

The Equus Award-winning Ivy Snow Mystery Series returns as former Olympic equestrian and amateur sleuth, Ivy Snow is once again embroiled in an evil web of death and destruction. 

 Dreams turn to nightmares in Florida’s elite equestrian world when Ivy’s daughter, Jaycee, makes her riding debut. In a world where wealth, power, and social standing rule, murder is most unwelcome for humans and horses alike. But murder mysteries and mayhem are what’s served up to the polo and penthouse crowd, much to the horror of the horse world. 

Nevertheless, Ivy’s present-day plight soon becomes overshadowed by her past. Thanks to vile stepfather, Lloyd Snow. Scotland Yard’s cold case surrounding her mother’s death heats up fast in the tropical sun…threatening her freedom…and her very life!

Ivy’s deductive skills and Jaycee’s psychic powers are put to the test when summoned to unearth the evil that conjures up Peril In Paradise
