Parker Bell #4
Little Candy Hearts and Murder
A clean, laugh-out-loud cozy mystery perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich and Leslie Langtry. Book 4 in the Parker Bell series-jump in anywhere.
Valentine's Day is supposed to be all romance, chocolate, and those cute little candy hearts that say things like Be Mine.
Not Drop Dead.
So when Parker Bell-bestselling author, cyber security company owner, and full-time magnet for nonsense-wakes up to find her house, car, and entire property vandalized with candy hearts sporting messages that would make a mob boss blush, she knows two
Someone has issues.
And she is absolutely not winning Miss Congeniality this year.
Because this is Po'thole, Florida-where Parker's visits home come with a 100% chance of murder, mayhem, and "you've got to be kidding me."
This time? Toss in a dramatic movie star with more baggage than a budget airline, a healthy splash of small-town politics ( grudges that never die), and a situation that escalates from tacky Valentine's prank to full-blown homicide faster than you can say pass the chocolate.
Oh, and the Lady Gatorettes-five hormonally enthusiastic, sugar-and-caffeine-fueled University of Florida football superfans-now have their own radio show. Which means they're not just spreading chaos locally anymore. They're broadcasting it.
As Parker races to figure out who's behind the nastiest candy hearts in history-and why people keep ending up dead-she'll need all her wits, all her patience, and possibly a restraining order against Valentine's Day itself.
Because in Po'thole, love isn't in the air.
Murder is.

Loved this hilarious book filled with nothing but trouble and candy hearts.
Laughter, giggles and the gator chomp kept me up reading into the morning and afternoon to finish this page turner!
I want to read them all.
Parker and the Lady Gatorettes work fearlessly to solve the candy heart situation that’s bombarding everything Parker owns!
Life is disrupted, destroyed, dead bodies are amidst the dangling hearts.
Dastardly deeds, nefarious and new characters, digging up dirt to expose the truth cost Parker a lot more than she bargained for.
