The Corpse with the Emerald Thumb

I could make out a body, and I recognized the person with their hands around its throat...

Criminologist and foodie Cait Morgan was looking forward to her dream vacation in Mexico. However, she wasn't anticipating a fresh corpse on the floor of a local florist's shop, and she definitely wasn't expecting her boyfriend Bud Anderson to become the prime suspect.

With Bud's freedom, and maybe even his life, at stake, Cait has to work out which member of the small community living in the seemingly idyllic municipality of Punta de las Rocas might have killed the locally respected florist, and why. Investigating under the watchful gaze of the local police, Cait has to keep her relationship with Bud a secret, and soon discovers she's not the only one with something to hide. Peeling back layers of deceit to reveal even more puzzles, Cait struggles with a creeping sense of unreality, desperate to save Bud . . . and, ultimately, herself.

This is the SECOND EDITON of the third book in the Cait Morgan Mysteries, an award winning classic whodunit series featuring the eccentric Professor Cait Morgan.
