Andi Anna Jones, so-so travel agent and amateur sleuth, puts aside her resentment of her father's widow and books a sixtieth birthday cruise to Cancun for Ruby and three friends. Never does Andi imagine the cruise will include the murder of a has-been lounge singer--or that Ruby might be the main suspect. Flirting with more than danger after arriving in Mexico, Andi connects with charming local sheriff, Manual Gonzales. An embarrassing night involving the sheriff, too many margaritas, and a Mariachi band, can't quell her determination to clear the name of her ex-stepmother. While gathering clues and interviewing witnesses, however, she suspects dear old step-mom isn't the only one in jeopardy.

A collection of True Crime stories detailing the crimes of women against their husbands...Thomas Stack's death didn't surprise a lot of people when it happened. He was an alcoholic, and everyone suspected that he accidentally poisoned himself. But once the small town of Farmington heard that Cynthia Galens was actually behind the murder and that she used a large amount of antifreeze to get rid of her husband, everyone was in pure shock. Cynthia was a lovely lady without prior charges, but she did complain a couple of times that Thomas Stack was hurting her in the privacy of her own home. Unable to cope with his mood swings, Cynthia claimed she wanted to make him ill so she could run away from the man himself. But the levels of antifreeze in his system told a different story - that the murder was premeditated and Cynthia could have saved the man's life if she told the truth in the hospital.
