In the new installment from veteran Hollywood screenwriter Lee Hollis, friends, moms, and P.I. partners Maya and Sandra have left their hometown of Portland, Maine, on a school trip to Washington, D.C.—where a killer has just added murder to the itinerary. . .

Drafted as chaperones, Maya Kendrick and PTA president Sandra Wallage are accompanying the SoPo High seniors to the nation’s capital—much to the embarrassment of Maya’s daughter Vanessa and Sandra’s son Ryan. Now both moms are about to find out which is harder—shepherding unruly high schoolers or solving a murder. The last sight they expected to see on this trip is a female intern who works for Sandra’s soon-to-be-ex-husband, Senator Stephen Wallage, in a fatally compromising position.
 
Desperate to avoid scandal, Stephen begs Maya and Sandra to solve the case. But their FBI counterparts—tough-as-nails agents Markey and Rhodes—are far less enthusiastic about the meddling of two “amateurs.” With suspects ranging from senators to students to stalkers, Maya and Sandra must follow a twisty trail of clues so they can catch a killer and survive to make the return trip . . .

Praise for Murder on the Class Trip

Praise for A Maya and Sandra Mystery series
 
“The two leads, both strong women whose skills complement one another, make a good team. Sandra’s quest for independence and legitimacy as a PI, Maya’s and Sandra’s desires to resolve their marital situations, family relationships between parents and teens, and the realities of a political life effectively frame this engaging cozy.” —Booklist on Murder at the Bake Sale
 
“Crime abounds in a mystery with a ripped-from-the-headlines political angle and a surprising turn in the personal lives of both sleuths. With a diverse cast of characters, including Sandra’s gay son, and the unusual political/school angles, the sequel to Murder at the PTA sets itself apart from most cozies.” —Library Journal on Murder at the Bake Sale
 
“A most believable pair tackle a mystery ripped from the headlines.” —Kirkus Reviews on Murder at the Bake Sale
 
“The backstories and lives of both women are well drawn, and Hollis has created two three dimensional and compelling characters. They have the kind of odd couple contrast that’s always an appealing element in a mystery. I loved the clever way Hollis told her story, keeping things brisk and clear, with a surprisingly twisty denouement. This is a new series to keep an eye on.” —Mystery Scene on Murder at the PTA
 
 "As the two become a team, spicy Maya and sturdy Sandra discover a mutual respect that surprises them both and should delight fans of Maine stalwart Hollis. Cozy goes hard-boiled." —Kirkus Reviews on Murder at the PTA
