The death of island playboy Curtis Marlin doesn’t register on busy caterer River Holloway’s radar…that is, until her brother and his girlfriend are arrested for the former athlete’s murder. Certain of the pair’s innocence, the amateur sleuth sets out to investigate.

Suspicion on the island spreads like chocolate sauce when River questions the victim’s teammates. The suspects don’t appreciate her stirring up trouble, but she won’t let an election-hungry sheriff make her brother a sacrificial lamb.

But there’s more than murder on River’s to-do list. A missing groom, catered banquets, and River’s own wedding plans keep her hopping like a short order cook. And as the cherry on the sundae, she has a wild kitty to tame.

Under mossy oaks and rustling palmettoes, fact and fiction blend in a mouthwatering romp of good eatin’ and yummy recipes.


Spawning Suspicion is the second in Toussaint’s Seafood Capers Mystery Series. It’s available to purchase at Amazon - B&N - Kobo - Apple

  1. Congratulations Maggie - and thank you for pointing me in the direction of what sounds like a heap of fun.
    As an aside, of course she thinks her brother is innocent. I cannot imagine just how appalling it would be to believe that your relative is guilt of murder...

    1. Me either, Elephant's Child! It happens in the real world sometimes, but not to my cozy sleuth, River Holloway. I hope you will check out Spawning Suspicion and the series!

    1. Thanks, Alex. I've been lucky so far in that my publishers have gone with all of my titles. I would love to take full credit for them, but in truth, I often wake up with just the right title in mind.
