Fatal Field Trip

Maggie McManus attempts to leave her painful past behind, closes the door on all that is familiar, and moves to River Town, Florida, to start a position as a hospitality instructor for a local university. After her field trip, Professor McManus would not have guessed there would be a dead body in the boardroom. Finding a second body in the same boardroom weeks later earns her first place on the clueless detective's suspect list. 

Only the grieving can relate to the massive hole left in your heart by the death of a loved one. Professor McManus attempts to leave a painful past behind her. She closes the door on all that is familiar and moves to River Town, Florida. While taking her students on a field trip, Maggie finds the flamboyant director of sales and marketing, Hannah Johnson, lying on the floor in the hotel boardroom draped in a tablecloth with one shiny red high heel boot exposed— blood seeping from under the tablecloth a sure sign she's dead. The recently appointed hotel manager, Trip Evans, is already enmeshed in a marketing challenge to overcome the unsavory past reputation of the newly renovated hotel; adding a dead body to the mix is sure to scare off customers. The lackadaisical detectives assigned to the case seem to be making no headway, leaving Maggie and Trip no choice but to find the killer themselves.
