Description:

Someone has decided to make life difficult for Jamie Quinn's boyfriend, Kip Simons: the new director of Broward County parks. 

There is trouble in the park, but who's the culprit? Is it the angry supervisor passed over for promotion, or the disgruntled employee Kip recently fired? Or maybe there's someone with an even bigger ax to grind. 

In any case, there's a dead guy in the park and Kip has gone missing. With the help of her favorite P.I., Duke Broussard, Jamie must race against the clock to find Kip before it's too late.

The Case of the Killer Divorce (Jamie Quinn Mystery Book 2) 

In book two of the Jamie Quinn Cozy Mysteries series, Jamie has returned to her family law practice after a hiatus due to her mother's death.

It's business as usual until a bitter divorce case turns into a murder investigation, and Jamie's client becomes the prime suspect. When she can't untangle truth from lies, Jamie enlists the help of Duke Broussard, her favorite private investigator, to try to clear her client's name.

Jamie's also hoping that in his spare time, Duke can help her find her long-lost father. But can the two find out who the killer is, and bring him to justice?
