TGIBBF - Book Blurb Friday, April 29
Thanks to Lisa Ricard Claro for her hosting of TGIBBF (Thank God it’s Book Blurb Friday). We are to write a book blurb of 140 words or less appropriate for the book we imagine being behind this fake book jacket photo. My entry is below the photo.
A South Beach Body (a Kat Kimball Mystery)
Kat was thrilled about relocating to Florida. She was tired of the crime and seedy atmosphere that surrounded her in Philadelphia. Bodies were turning up everywhere. And the things people tried to take in their carry-on luggage! It had to be better somewhere else. So, when an opening was announced at Miami International for a TSA Security Checkpoint supervisor, she applied and was thrilled to be offered the transfer.
South Beach was definitely living up to her B-list requirements. You know: beach, body surfing, beautiful weather, bars, and a boardwalk. Unfortunately, there was another item on her B-list she hadn’t planned for or wanted.
A body.

Love this! Great hook with her career choice, and your "B-list" segues perfectly into the twist (the body). Very well done, Wendy. This looks like a winner!
oh very clever B list! I like it!

Lots of alliteration lying around this week - and a B-list is a good hook.
Brilliant blurb. It has everything you need to hook a reader. Loved it.

You've set this up perfectly - should be a good read:-)
Wow! Beyond belief. (Lol, I loved all of your B's, btw). What a start to a great mystery. I'd buy it for sure.

Love that last line. Here's another B-word: BUYING it!
Loved all the B's going on with this blurb!
I was wondering if anyone would go the murder route! And all the B's.... Greaat job with this one!
Hmm. Interesting set up. I guess TSA Security was more than she bargained for.

Thank you all for your comments! I love reading mysteries like this. It was fun giving birth to Kat.
Very catchy. Who could resist this one? And why would they want to? The B list was brilliant.
I loved the string of "B" things, leading to the body. Well done.
