Guns and Roses: A Modern Mystery Set in Colonial Willamsburg

Strange things are happening on the History and Gardens of Virginia Tour. Are they odd misadventures? Harmless pranks? Or does somebody have murder in mind? Ex-Texas cop Roxanne Prescott thought she'd moved into a more genteel line of work, leading the well-heeled on educational tours for her aunt's travel agency. But as the group, which she has mentally nicknamed the Guns and Roses Tour, moves from Mount Vernon to Monticello, a practical joker targets the tourists. In Colonial Williamsburg the pranks escalate with deadly results. Roxanne must figure out which of her group is a killer hiding behind a genial facade.

Guns and Roses is a cozy mystery with an edge, first in a new series about the Irish Eyes Travel Agency. Author Taffy Cannon's knowledge of the South and her acerbic wit enliven this classic closed-circle-of-suspects mystery.

Taffy Cannon is the author of five previous books, including the Nan Robinson mystery series and a young adult mystery, as well as an Academy Award-nominated short film. She has lived in the South, now lives in southern California, and has taken the Guns and Roses tour herself.
