Bride of Tranquility By Tracy S. Morris. Cover art by Brad Foster. Perfect-bound Trade Paperback - 168 pages $12.00 + Shipping Also available in e-book format: Amazon: Kindle

Getting married can be murder

All Jake Coletrane wants is to marry his girlfriend Rachel Thorne, but there are a few obstacles standing between him and happily ever after; namely, a UFO True Believer's convention that has barred him from his hotel, a psychic from a ghost hunting reality show who is convinced that the ghost of Jake's last wife is out to wreck the wedding, the seven Renaissance wedding planners who keep tacking on fees, and Rachel's increasing Bridezilla tendencies.

But when the hotel manager drops dead and signs point to murder, Jake knows that it will take more than his famous luck to solve the case and get them to the altar on time. It's going to take good, solid detective work.

Fortunately, Jake is the police officer for Tranquility, Arkansas. And he has help — Rachel and her Dr. Doolittle-like ability to talk to animals, Average Jones and her empathy, and Dr. Dave's medical expertise.

Jake will need all the help he can get. Because in a haunted hotel, marriage is murder and someone wants to take "till death do you part" literally.

With murders in a haunted hotel, a Bridezilla on the rampage, a faux-French Renaissance theme wedding planner, UFO True Believers and ferrets gone wild, the town of Tranquility has never been weirder — or more fun!  Tracy Morris again entertains us with her wacky cast of characters in an intriguing mystery-adventure.
