In the midst of an epic force nine storm, Opawonga Resort chef Bertha Lundstrom walked into the depths of the kitchen storeroom and into a noose that killed her.

Resort guests Monica Greenwood and friend Erin O'Malley, now stranded on Indian Island, offer to look into the murder, but minutes after their 'Trash or Treasures' seminar finishes, another body falls to the floor and dies in Erin's arms.

On an island rife with blackmail, jealousy, and people full of fear, they have to act fast before the killer strikes again.

Armed with a few photos, old newspaper reports, and a cookbook full of baking and blackmail, the girls must weave together crimes from the past and crimes of the present. Is the killer the jealous head of housekeeping, two employees facing blackmail, or the guest who is a real fish out of water?

Can they pull the elusive threads together and flush out the killer before more people succumb to the murderer's obsessions.

Resort to Death is suspenseful, awash with island secrets and island life. Interesting and quirky characters reveal that the past never disappears completely and may return when least expected!
