Laura Black is looking for a man, a dead one!
Scottsdale's favorite investigator, Laura Black, has a client with a problem--she can’t find her dead brother’s body. As Laura searches, she stumbles onto an international ring of ruthless black market antiquity smugglers. With multiple groups hunting for ancient Egyptian treasures, Laura quickly finds she’s in over her head. Add to that, Max’s housekeeper Beatrice has a problem. Every year she loses the Scottsdale Cookie and Cake Club’s cupcake bake-off to a talentless woman called Kaitlin Kingston. Is this Devil Woman merely fooling around with the judge, or are there deadlier shenanigans afoot?

With equal parts of romance, thrills, mystery, and adventure, Scottsdale Scandal is the perfect book for a day at the beach or a night by the fire.

Praise for the LAURA BLACK SCOTTSDALE SERIES
“A great chick-lit mystery with plenty of humor. I love a strong female lead who gets herself into crazy situations only to have a hot guy come to her rescue. This is a must-read.”

This is a fun easy read. The characters have quirky and fun attitudes. I just don't think you will be disappointed."

I'm thrilled to announce that Kristy, our favorite Scottsdale wedding planner, has taken up residence in Aloha Lagoon! After the crazy events of Scottsdale Silence, Kristy finally achieved her lifelong dream of moving to paradise. She took a job in Hawaii as the Aloha Lagoon resort wedding planner on the gorgeous island of Kauai. Sun, surf, sandy beaches, and glowing brides...what could possibly go wrong?

Turns out, everything.

Want to know more? Check out Hula Homicide, the latest book in the Aloha Lagoon Mystery Series. This series is written by several authors, including Leslie Langtry, Beth Prentice, and Cathern Bruns. Each is a complete stand-alone novel, or you can read them one after the other.

As for me, halfway through a successful career in technical writing, marketing, and sales, along with having four beautiful children, I somehow veered into fiction. Combining a love of the desert, derived from many years of living in Arizona, with an appreciation of the modern romantic detective story, the Scottsdale Series was born. I hope you like the results!

Thanks to all for the great comments and suggestions. As always, I'd love to hear from you.

Some books are so much fun to read that you go back later, even when you know what will happen to the protagonists.
This is one of those books!

Loved this book! I downloaded it & started reading immediately. Didn’t stop till I finished. Laura gets herself in some rather harrowing situations. Lots of plot twists & turns with numerous surprises. Now that I’m finished I’m already hungering for Book 11. Hmmmm….maybe Scottsdale Sabotage?

5.0 out of 5 stars A beach day read or just to get away, it is a fun read. Trimmer has a winner of a series here.
Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2023
A easy, enjoyable read with quirky characters well described. It takes place in Scottsdale, a town I know and enjoy, so it’s fun to see the town as the story unfolds. I want to hang out with the main character, she is so full of life and is so real, awkward and funny. The story of Laura Black continues as other characters are explored and put into dangerous situations. But she always gets to the bottom of the mystery and life goes on. Well done and enjoyable read and characters.

The main thing I enjoy about this series, the supporting cast of characters, was nonexistent. I kept waiting for some Max and Laura interaction, but it never happened. Max was relegated to literally phoning it in. It was Laura and a bunch of mediocre, with the exception of Cricket, strangers. The plot was boring and lacked the humor and quirkiness of the previous books. I sincerely hope Laura and Max’s relationship shifts up a few gears in the next book, but who knows how long it will be before we see that one drop?
