Freelance writer Alex Vlodnachek hasn't had a vacation in ages. So when her sister invites her--and pup Lucy--for a girls' get-away to Miami, it's too tempting to resist. Big sister Annie wants Alex to savor a little fun in the sun at her South Beach condo. Redhead Alex just wants to escape complications at home, enjoy a little R&R and find an industrial-sized bottle of sunscreen. But trouble is hot on her heels--along with a few stray friends and relatives. On the eve of the condo association's hotly contested election, everything in the luxury high-rise is going haywire. But board president and social butterfly Leslie McQueen seems curiously absent amidst the chaos. Along with a good chunk of the association's cash. When several of Annie's friends are left holding the bag, Alex jumps in to help--and discovers the tony condo tower offers no shortage of shady characters, murder, and mayhem. But when her brother, Nick, arrives--with their irrepressible grandmother, Baba, and Alex's pal Trip, in tow--is the gang riding to the rescue? Or plunging Alex into more hot water? Praise for SEEING RED "Crazy surprises, fun characters, and a feisty heroine to save the day. Everything I love in a cozy."--Lynn Cahoon, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author "Witty dialogue with laugh-out-loud moments, well-drawn characters and multiple mysteries weave their way through this satisfying story." --Shelf Awareness
