Death of the Swami Schwartz

"Sparkles like the South Florida sunshine...Kate Kennedy is a warm and funny heroine." – Nancy Martin, Author of the Blackbird Sisters Mysteries

"Miss Marple with a modern twist...[Wald] is a very funny lady!" – Donna Andrews, Author of the Meg Langslow Mysteries

"A stylish and sophisticated Miss Marple, seeking justice in sunny South Florida instead of a rainy English Village, and meeting the most delightfully eccentric suspects in the process." – Victoria Thompson, Author of the Gaslight Mysteries

"Kate Kennedy's wry wit, genuine kindness, and openness to adventure make her a sleuth to cherish. Death is a Bargain is another top-notch entry in a great series." – Carolyn Hart, Author of the Death on Demand Mysteries

At a dinner for Swami Schwartz, the founder of the Palmetto Beach Yoga Institute, the food is fabulous and the dancing is delightful. That is, until Swami two-steps all over Kate Kennedy's new shoes and then keels over dead after someone spikes his double espresso with cyanide. Who could have poisoned the yogi? Now Kate has to team up with her best friend Marlene to sort through suspects, including a shady business partner and a pretty yoga student—who may have shared more than a lotus position with Swami.
