The New York Times-bestselling author of Princess Charming returns with “a hilarious culinary comedy dripping with both romance and suspense” (Ciji Ware, New York Times bestselling author of That Winter in Venice).   Elaine Zimmerman and her best friends, Jackie and Pat, are venturing to a farm in Litchfield, Connecticut. It’s been over a year since their last trip together, a Caribbean cruise aboard the Princess Charming—and after dealing with a murderous ex and his hit man, they’re yearning for a no-drama vacation. During their Cultivate Our Bounty Week, they and eight other guests will learn how to cook farm-to-table meals with artisan-in-residence Chef Jason Hill.   But amid milking a cow, making cheese, and managing the surprise appearance of an ex-boyfriend, Elaine discovers that one of their classmates is a little too keen on practicing knife technique. Is the killer one of the freakishly fit Manhattan couple who take their devotion to organic, hormone-free, non-GMO food to the point of obsession? The grandmother from Wisconsin who’s a groupie of the celebrity chef and follows him to every event? The mother and son from Palm Beach who bicker over whether he should give up his law practice to open his own restaurant? Three Blonde Mice serves up a crackling romance, a twisty whodunit involving a screwball cast of suspects, and a satire of food fads and the chefs who perpetuate them.   “A real treat.”—Eileen Goudge, New York Times-bestselling author of The Diary   “A hilarious send-up of foodies and the farm-to-table movement…a delicious read―and there are no calories.”―Elaine Viets, author of the Dead-End Job Mysteries

New York Times-Bestselling Author: A trip to Sedona, a disappearing heiress, and a reappearing ex-husband add up to trouble for a straitlaced accountant…   No one craves order more than bean counter Crystal Goldstein. A partner at a New York accounting firm, doting daughter to her aging father, and loyal girlfriend to the equally workaholic Steven, she has her life completely under control. But when she learns that Steven’s been cheating on her with his ex-wife, that her gruff father has spent years yearning for a brother she never knew she had, and that her job may be in jeopardy, she’s brought up really short.   Crystal's best friend—a New Age junkie—convinces her that her aura needs cleansing and her chakras need balancing. With nothing to lose, Crystal takes a long-overdue vacation in mystical, metaphysical Sedona, Arizona. Among the resort’s guests: Amanda Wells Reid, international jet-setter, consummate party-goer, and darling of the society columnists, along with her personal assistant, personal chef, personal trainer, and personal publicist. And their tour driver is none other than the totally irresistible, totally irresponsible husband Crystal tossed out so many years ago.   It doesn’t take a psychic to know that the mix of a reappearing ex-husband whose appeal has only ripened and a millionaire heiress who suddenly vanishes is going to add up to some pretty eye-opening—and mind-expanding—doings….   “A modern spin on a good old-fashioned Cinderella story.”—Kirkus Reviews   “Jane Heller’s special gift for lampooning the pompous and self-absorbed make for enormously funny reading. Crystal Clear will have you snickering from beginning to end.”—RT Book Reviews

A meddling mom follows her daughter to Hollywood in a novel by the New York Times-bestselling author: “Wildly inventive…quite funny and always engaging.” —People   Stacey left Cleveland for the glamour of Hollywood, intent on becoming a star. Another bonus of heading west was putting some distance between herself and her smotheringly overprotective mom, Helen. Of course, it can’t stop Helen from buzzing her cellphone every twenty minutes.   Now her mother has trekked all the way to Tinseltown to be with Stacey—and moved in right down the street. But the twist of the knife really comes when Helen complains about finding a bone in her can of tuna, and winds up getting an apology from the company—and an offer to star in a high-profile commercial that not only leads to an unexpected acting career but lands her a mysterious dreamboat.   Meanwhile, Stacey's own career is starting to tank and she's falling for a man she thought she hated. Her resentment of her mom is more than she can bear—but she may become the protective one when she learns something shady about Helen’s new boyfriend…   “Spirited, effortless entertainment with a winning premise.” —Publishers Weekly
