It just occurred to me that on Monday I will not be able to go out to dinner with my family because of some pesky “Holiday”. I got a little angry thinking about how I will be forced to nag hubby to cook dinner for us that evening. What if I am feeling too lazy to make hungry noises at him? I think there should be special seating in restaurants on Valentine’s Day for those of us who aren’t celebrating the day of love, but are just lazy and hungry. The lazy lane if you will. If you want to go through the Lazy Lane you just have to promise not to wear red, or anything formal, not look lovingly into your partners eyes, and no giggling. AND… if you dare propose marriage you will be fined. That should cover the basic outline of the Lazy Lane. I bet a lot of people would be down for that. Then the restaurants would be booked up that day with people not celebrating Valentines Day, and I would still have to nag hubby to make me dinner. Well now I am really mad. IT WAS MY IDEA!

Mai Tais and Murder: A Tiki Mystery (The McCreadie Mysteries Book 1)
by Andrew Culver
Genre: Mystery
FREE for a limited time
The only thing Aristotle McCreadie wants to do is sit on the beach and drink mai tais.
Since Aristotle inherited a bunch of money, he moved to a houseboat in a quaint California beach town and he spends his nights at the best tiki bar in the world, Pirate’s Cove. All is right with the world. But Aristotle’s plans are about to go off the rails.
Something weird is happening in this idyllic town. A wealthy old real estate mogul, and patron saint of Pirate’s Cove, has just been murdered in his sprawling mansion. And whoever did it knew exactly how to dismantle the alarm system, where his cash was hidden, and where his most expensive antiques were. Now everyone in town seems to think it’s no big deal and no one wants to answer Aristotle’s questions about it.
Aristotle can’t enjoy his mai tais when an unsolved murder is killing his buzz. Now weird things are happening at the victim’s house at night, and to complicate things, a cute local girl wants to show him all around town. Which would be great if she didn’t have a boyfriend in grad school in Portland.
Why are the police so eager to pass off this crime as an isolated robbery? And why are people whispering about big real estate plans for Playa Santiago? Suddenly Aristotle gets the suspicion that this perfect little town is about to get very tacky and very crowded. Now the future of Pirate’s Cove is in jeopardy, and this will mean the end of the best tiki bar, arguably, in the world. Which means that dozens of drinks with secret family recipes may be lost forever. The Pooka Pooka Bowl. The Mexican Mai Tai. The Naked Surfer Girl. All lost. And Aristotle can’t let that happen.
The good thing about tiki bars is when the liquor flows, people talk. So, in the interest of justice, Aristotle must go to Pirate’s Cove to get information out of these weird and colorful locals. With each mai tai he will get closer to the truth, and he just might save this town.
