Synopsis

Energetic, sexy, and funny -- Claire and Dan know there's a catch when rich and stingy Mrs. Shelby Bell invites them to be her guests at The Bell Sands, her oceanfront resort hotel east of Biloxi, Mississippi. They accept, but when they arrive at the hotel during a torrential rainstorm, they become caught up in a beauty contest run amok. No carefree bliss in sun and surf -- the Claibornes have their work cut out, trying to discover who's sabotaging the pageant and who's responsible for several murders. Meanwhile, a hurricane is blowing toward the Coast. As Claire and Dan get too close to the murderer, they find themselves cut loose at sea in the storm.

About this title

From the Publisher

Dunbar's Infamous "Missing Episode" !
REDNECK RIVIERA was written as the second book in the Eclaire mystery series (between Behind Eclaire's Doors and A Bad Hair Day), and very nearly didn't make it into print. But the author's persistence in finding a new publisher and sticking with this, her favorite book in the series, have paid off.

In REDNECK RIVIERA, Claire and Dan's second honeymoon turns into a deadly gamble for love and money. Claire and Dan Claiborne suspect there's a catch when rich and stingy Mrs. Shelby Bell invites them to stay at the Bell Sands, her oceanfront resort east of Biloxi, Mississippi. Sure enough, Claire and Dan arrive at the hotel to be greeted by torrential rain and a beauty pageant spinning madly out of control.

Instead of sunshine and surfside romance, it's more stormy weather for the Claibornes as they attempt to discover who's sabotaging Miss Gulf Coast. When the beauties are threatened by a series of beastly homicides, Claire and Dan get too close to the truth and the murderer cuts them adrift in a boat on the Gulf of Mexico, at the mercy of yet another killer . . . a hurricane named Babe.

"Delightfully irreverent, slightly wacky, and sizzlingly sexy." -- Sunday Magazine, Baton Rouge
