Death of a Coupon Clipper (2013)

by Lee Hollis
(#3 in Hayley Powell Food and Cocktails Mystery)

Hayley Powell, food and cocktails columnist for Bar Harbor's Island Times, is…well, kind of broke. So when she's selected for that extreme coupon-clipping reality game show coming to town… she's thrilled, especially when her competition is nasty nurse Candace Culpepper. But when Haley stumbles across a face-down-in-the-snow Candace--scissors gleaming between her shoulders--she knows the next thing she'll be selected for will probably be a police line-up.

Meanwhile, though Hayley's BFF Mona was only joking about 'taking Candace out,' Bruce Linney, the Island Times crime reporter, definitely isn't laughing. And what about the smarmy, cold-hearted host of the show, Drew Nickerson, who may have been having a steamy affair with the intentionally-iced nurse? Hayley needs to cut to the chase and find the killer. Everything may hinge on a stray coupon, but Hayley better keep her eyes on the real grand prize: staying out of permanent cold storage!
