Short description

A disillusioned young woman and a masquerading private eye discover love is a game of give and take—and cat and mouse—as they unravel a tangled web of oddball relatives, buried secrets and a missing million.

Extended description

Callie Shaw hates men who keep secrets.

Callie’s come home to Deception Bay to stamp out some fires. Her cheating father just left town. Her starry-eyed sister is on the verge of marrying a virtual stranger, and there’s something strange about the drop-dead gorgeous cemetery gardener Mitch Brooker—he doesn’t know a daisy from a doorknob.

Mitch Brooker has a pocketful.

As a Private Investigator, telling lies works for Mitch—he can keep everyone happy, avoid disapproval and earn a living at the same time. Masquerading as a groundskeeper at a cemetery gives him an opportunity to discover who’s behind a coffin-switching crime ring that stole a million dollars from his client, a wealthy coffin manufacturer. But when a little harmless flirting with Callie, his prime suspect’s sexy sister-in-law, evolves into a steamy romance, things get complicated, and Mitch discovers…

The truth is what’s left over when you run out of lies.

Review by: Selena Robins on Dec. 18, 2011 :
GONE GROOM GONE is a fun light-hearted comedy, peppered with plenty of mystery, suspense, and romance. Nancy Lauzon not only entertains the reader at a good pace, but she surprises the reader with her unique story line and the many twists and turns that will keep you turning the page.

You will cheer for the heroine and fall in love with the hero. Nancy Lauzon’s snappy dialogue and wit shine through in GONE GROOM GONE. A wonderful book to read on the beach, or cuddle up with on a rainy day.
