About this ebook

Solving murders, kissing criminology professors, and just the right amount of alligators combine in Swamp Princess, the cozy mystery + romance follow up to Gator Queen.


Maggie Andrews is swamped—literally—as she tries to balance running her family's gator trapping business, "defining the relationship" with tattooed professor Jack Bianchi, and helping her twin sister Vera with her bookstore.

When she's invited to speak at a conference about the dangers hunting for cryptids in gator-infested waters, she assumes it's a joke she doesn't have time for. But it's all too real; hundreds of Bigfoot fans are sure that their monster has migrated to the swamps of Florida. Against her better judgement, Maggie agrees to lead a group of them on a small expedition. And it's going well—until a cryptozoology influencer ends up dead.
With her twin sister Vera dating the town's only homicide detective (and Maggie's own sparks still flying with criminology professor Jack), she has an in on solving murders. But navigating conspiracy theories, petty jealousies, and Bigfoot sightings make the investigation even more complicated than last time. Plus, she's gotta figure out - is Jack just along for the crime-solving ride and a summer fling, or are they playing for keeps?

That was so much fun, my sides still hurt from laughing so much and so hard. This story was the perfect blend of mystery, romance, and the absurd. The author so successfully kept me off balance, I was never able to out-think (or out-guess) the plot to be able to identify the villain before the big reveal. And what a reveal that was; I’m still giggling thinking about it. I’m quickly falling in love with these characters and I can’t wait for our next opportunity to watch them in action.

This is a fun and whimsical cozy mystery with quirky characters and heartwarming relationships. The plot kept me guessing. The author does a good job of bringing the Florida wetlands and their inhabitants to life. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
