If you like Romantic Mystery...

I've got the perfect cup of tea. My romantic mysteries have a murder to solve, but there's always a love interest, and a ticking clock of suspense.

Murder in the Buff is a fine place to start. When a nudist turns up dead, reporter Molly Darter is unmoved. But when she comes across a sheaf of photos of the recently deceased woman in compromising positions with the town's elite, including Molly's father, she realizes she has to get her dad out of this mess. Molly's just kicked her husband to the curb for inspecting her sister's tonsils, but Hadley is determined to get his wife back. He woos her with humility, apologies, a new air bag, and sex. You gotta love a man who admits he's wrong! But will Molly come to the same conclusion? Learn more about this ebook at Muse It Up Publishing

In Death, Island Style, MaryBeth is determined to put her old life behind her. She starts over in the deep South with a gift shop and makes friends with the locals. But before she can get settled good, a corpse washes ashore, a corpse with ties to her past. Horrified, MaryBeth rallies to save her own neck, and she enlists the help of the pharmacist next door. One reviewer dubbed the pharmacist a Clark Kent personna: mild-mannered at work and a superhero when it comes to MaryBeth. Will this duo be able to save MaryBeth from the slammer? On sale as a hardcover novel at Amazon and Barnes and Noble Please ask your library to purchase this book.

My other two mysteries have strong love interests: In For A Penny and On the Nickel. Read more about them at www.maggietoussaint.com

ReviewFest and Maggie Toussaint

Thanks, Lindsay, for creatingReviewFest to share our reviews. Oftentimes on chats, forums, blogs, and loops, our reviews get mentioned once and then we file them away. I'm delighted when I get good reviews because it's such a pleasure to connect with a reader/reviewer who really gets what you are all about.

About me: I write romance and romantic mystery. My writing journey started in the romance world, but I kept adding more and more suspense elements. I transitioned to writing mysteries, but romance is ingrained in my muse, so all of my books are blends of romance and mystery.

Since this is Lindsay's "pink" romance blog, I'll sharea few of my fab romance reviews.

House of Lies launched me into the world of published authors. Hannah visits the house her estranged father bequeathed to her, and finds his business partner, ex-CIA agent Jake. Layer by layer, Hannah uncovers the secrets of her father's covert life and activates a deadly killer.

Seeing Red was originally released through an ebook publisher, Freya's Bower, who did a great job of editing this story. When the rights reverted to me earlier this year, I added a bit here and there and then brought it back out in digital and trade paperback format. Emma and Quentin work to make her crumbling homestead into a Bed & Breakfast, but someone doesn't want them to succeed. Is the threat from her sisters, his family, or her work colleagues?

"An excellent read" - Night Owl Romance

Muddy Waters is the first book I set on the Georgia coast. It's full of two-hundred year old live oaks and Spanish moss and secluded kayaking canals. So many readers fell in love with the town of Mossy Bog that they've been clamoring for a sequel. God willing and the creek don't rise, I'll get that into the rotation!  In Muddy Waters, Roxie and Sloan battle their attraction as they search for his lost inheritance. Will they find it before a deadly fortune hunter puts them out of commission?

"Great book, wonderful mystery and a red hot love story underlying it." - The Reading Reviewer

   

“A pleasant read for a nice fall afternoon. With its home realty and repair subplot, the author obviously knows her stuff” – Romantic Times

"Toussaint wrote the characters with a believability that captures the hearts of readers” – SingleTitles.com
