Delighted to share the news of the release of the 4th book by Susie Black in her series Holly Swimsuit Mysteries.. Death by Cutting Table.
About the book
Mermaid Swimwear CEO Butch Oldham was an equal opportunity scoundrel who screwed anyone and everyone in his wake. So, the question wasn’t who wanted the bastard dead. The question was, who didn’t?
After Mermaid sales exec Holly Schlivnik finds colleague Queenie Levine standing over Oldham’s battered corpse nailed to a fabric cutting table with a pair of cutting shears plunged deep into his chest, the cops soon recover Queenie’s hidden blood-soaked sweater, discover her stormy relationship with the victim, and her public threats to make Butch pay for destroying Mermaid by stealing it blind.
When Queenie is arrested for Butch’s murder, Holly jumps into action to flesh out the real killer. But the trail has more twists and turns than a slinky, and nothing turns out the way the wise-cracking, irreverent amateur sleuth thinks it will as she tangles with a clever killer hellbent for revenge.
One of the early reviews for the book
I was thrilled to get the chance to read another instalment in this hilarious whodunnit series. Susie Black’s humor is second to none. Seriously, no one can make murder as funny as she does. I think this latest instalment is the best Holly Swimsuit book yet with fantastic plotting and realistic characters. Throughout the series, I’ve gotten to know Holly Schlivnik well and I love her amateur detective skills and how they continue to improve with each body she discovers. Her group of friends, the Yentas always add to the entertainment value with their matter-of-fact banter. I also love Holly’s pet dog, Sigmund, and the way he jumps into conversation. I highly recommend this book to cozy lovers with a sense of humor.

About the Susie Black
Named best US author of the year by N. N. Light Book Heaven, award-winning cozy mystery author Susie Black was born in the Big Apple but now calls sunny Southern California home. Like the protagonist in her Holly Swimsuit Mystery Series, Susie is a successful apparel sales executive. Susie began telling stories as soon as she learned to talk. Now she’s telling all the stories from her garment industry experiences in humorous mysteries.
She reads, writes, and speaks Spanish, albeit with an accent that sounds like Mildred from Michigan went on a Mexican vacation and is trying to fit in with the locals. Since life without pizza and ice cream as her core food groups wouldn’t be worth living, she’s a dedicated walker to keep her girlish figure. A voracious reader, she’s also an avid stamp collector. Susie lives with a highly intelligent man and has one incredibly brainy but smart-aleck adult son who inexplicably blames his sarcasm on an inherited genetic defect.
Thanks for dropping in today and I hope you will be leaving with some books.
The book covers alone would it make worth to have all of them. But there also captivating stories behind. Thanks for the reminder, Sally! I hope you enjoy the last hours of a hopefully sunny weekend! hugsx Michael
