(Next Chapter Press, 2025).

This first book in the Mah Jong Mayhem series stars Kiki Coben, a food writer and aspiring investigative reporter, who leads her mahjong group in solving murders. As the publisher notes, “From sleepy Sherwood to a cruise ship at sea, Kiki and her Tuesday Mah Jong group have a habit of being in the wrong place at the right time, as Kiki follows the trail from a ‘Black Widow’ murder at sea to a suspicious death at a senior home charity event.”
