This twenty story collection centers on popular series sleuths taking a summer vacation, but amidst the relaxation murder occurs leading to an investigation by some of our favorites. Each contribution is top rate as readers see some of their favorite detectives, amateur and professional, trying to take a little time off, but homicide never rests. Heller, Shapiro, Yoder, Billington, Nestleton, O'Hara, Koslow, Malory, London, Cuesta, Darnell, Denison, Fidelma, Reynier, Buscarsela, Burns, Holmes, and Pavlicek may be on vacation, but not at rest. Newcomers Whit Mosley and Susanna Lee round out the anthology that readers will find quite entertaining.
