The Getaway Girlz — Vivian, Wendy, Lucy and Kate — retreat to upstate New York to help Wendy cope with her fiancé’s disappearance. Instead of lazy lakeside afternoons and picturesque hikes, the girls plunge into a cold case (drowning) and dig up trouble (human remains). Their quaint B&B holds secrets from the past, giving Kate haunting dreams. Lucy’s momentary meltdown brings in much-needed muscle, Pierre La Roche, whom they met in Playa del Carmen on their first getaway. Vivian’s fireman fling, Larson, can’t stop the combustion of boats, houses and automobiles that ensue. Despite the deadly drama, these four friends take on Lake Placid’s tourist attractions and peculiar people, whipping up a dangerous firestorm on this unforgettable Adirondack adventure.
The book is SASSY and FUN. All women can identify with the escapades of the characters. Couldn’t put it down!

Joan Rylen scored BIG in the first book, of which I hope, will be just the beginning of a long literary career! From the first scenes to the last, Joan keeps her audience wondering what will happen next, it is one of those books that you just cannot put down! I finished reading mine in two days and have waited, for what seems like an eternity, for the next one to come out!

Hey, this was another fun read. The story line was suspenseful & smart with the right amount of fun, adventure & crazy bad guy. If Vivian was my daughter…we’d have a talk! Anyway the plot will keep you asking for more; I’m ready for N.O., or am I?
