Victoria Laurie, the New York Times bestselling author of the Psychic Eye and Ghost Hunter mysteries, joins the Kensington list with the first installment in her Life Coach Mystery Series, featuring former marketing-executive turned life coach divorcee Catherine Cooper!

When Catherine Cooper settles in the Hamptons on the heels of a nasty split from her long-time husband, the luxurious coastal community turns out to be the perfect place for murder . . .
 
Cat Cooper never imagined selling off her marketing firm would mean going from the pinnacle of success to a walking hot mess. Gouged from an unexpected divorce, Cat suddenly finds herself struggling as a life coach for the hopelessly adrift in East Hampton and contending with Heather Holland—a spiteful neighbor who will do anything to bully her out of town. But her second act may very well continue behind bars when Heather’s dead body turns up next to a shattered punchbowl . . . and Cat’s pinned as the murderer.
 
But given Heather’s mean girl reputation, any one of the guests at her invite-only luncheon could have committed the crime. Determined not to trade designer duds for an unflattering prison jumpsuit, Cat sides with her best friend Gilley to scour chic boutiques and oceanfront mansions in search of the criminal who framed her. With a stoic detective looking to get her in cuffs, it’s up to Cat to catch the real killer and land on her feet once again . . .

About the author

Victoria Laurie

When Victoria Laurie was eleven, her family moved from the United States to England for a year abroad. She attended the American Community School at Cobham, and one day, while on a class field trip, she first glimpsed the White Cliffs of Dover. Her trip to the cliffs, the year abroad, and her grandfather's stories of his childhood as an orphan left such an indelible impression on her that when she turned to a career as an author, she was compelled to write the Oracles of Delphi Keep series. The Curse of Deadman's Forest is the second book in this series. The first book, Oracles of Delphi Keep, is available from Delacorte Press.

Praise for Coached to Death

Praise for Coached To Death

"Superior series launch...Cozy fans will embrace this intelligent heroine with plenty of backbone."
--Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW

"The Hamptons heat up when a life coach has to turn detective to exonerate herself in the death of a frenemy... Laurie's new series focus pays off in her hallmark flairs of fun." --Kirkus Reviews

"Coached to Death reminded me of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series because of the humor and a subplot of the captivating Cat being pursued by two charming gentlemen...Coached to Death is a very enjoyable debut, and I look forward to more of Cat and Gilley's trademark pizzazz." --Criminal Element
