I read all of Laurence Shames books set in Key West, and absolutely loved them! I loved my visit to Key West, and enjoyed Laurence Shames books which brought me back to Key West. The books are so funny. and clever, and I loved the characters. I keep looking now for years to see if he’s written another book, but not so far, I hope so badly that he continues the series. By the way, I absolutely love this cozy mystery website, and have read so many recommended books which I have enjoyed SO much! Thanks so much for this website!

I can’t remember what the book is called, but, I do know that it’s in the Body Movers series by Stephanie Bond, and it takes place in a different locale, although I can’t remember where. But, Carlotta, her brother Wesley, and his boss Cooper go to this location on a work-related trip, to pic up a body. And, have to dodge people who would rather that body not be picked up. I’ve read the first 6 books in this series, and I highly enjoyed them, especially with the similarity to Stephanie Plum.
