Criminologist and foodie Cait Morgan was looking forward to her dream vacation in Mexico with her boyfriend Bud Anderson. She wasn’t anticipating a fresh corpse on the floor of a local florist’s shop, and she definitely wasn’t expecting Bud to become the prime suspect.
With Bud’s freedom, and maybe even his life, at stake, Cait has to fight the clock 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. Needing to investigate under the watchful gaze of the local police, Cait has to keep her relationship with Bud a secret, and she 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.
In the third book in the beloved Cait Morgan Mysteries, The Corpse with the Emerald Thumb, travel to the idyllic Mexican countryside as Cait Morgan works against the clock to clear her wrongly accused partner of murder.

Jennifer’s Review of The Corpse with the Emerald Thumb
Review (4 Stars): Cait Morgan is one of my favorite characters because I love her personality and her fierce determination to discover the truth. In this book, she is on vacation in Mexico with her boyfriend, Bud, when she is immediately thrown into the middle of another murder mystery with Bud as the prime suspect. She has to quickly find answers to this crime before Bud is put in jail for the rest of his life.
The Corpse with the Emerald Thumb will keep you guessing as you are swept away with Cait to find the identity of the killer and clear Bud’s name. Ms. Ace’s characters are well-written, fun and you will enjoy every moment that you get to spend with Cait. This is a great addition to an already delightful mystery series and I’m looking forward to reading more from Ms. Ace.
