About this ebook

Blackmail. Betrayal. Murder. This is not the job Alex remembered.

When a visit to a tranquil town in Wisconsin's Door County turns deadly, travel writer Alex Paige must uncover the murderer before she becomes the next victim. Filled with quirky characters, a beautiful locale, and villains you'll love to hate, once you start reading this first in series, you won't want to stop.

Although Alex Paige is anxious to get back in the field after a year off for cancer treatment, she's afraid she's forgotten how to be a travel writer. A visit to an idyllic resort seems like an easy way to get her feet wet. Lucky for her, she's put at ease when she meets a fellow survivor.

But that comfort is destroyed when Alex discovers a greedy developer she’d put in jail during her journalism years is buying the resort. Alex knows if he’s involved, something must be fishy.

She’s quickly proven right when his plans are revealed. But the real threat comes when the evil felon’s partner is murdered.

With the help of her irrepressible friend William and a lantern-jawed boat captain, Alex is determined to save the resort and marina. Can she expose the real killer before she becomes the next victim? Peril on the Peninsula is the first book in the Alex Paige Travel Mysteries Series. If you love engaging characters, dastardly villains, and armchair travel, you'll love Theresa L. Carter's debut novel.

Read Peril on the Peninsula for a fun escape today!

About the author

Theresa’s one of those voracious readers who grew up with her nose in a book and the desire to write her own. That took some time, as she spent years telling people where to go as a full-time travel writer before making it happen when she was 47 (because you’re never too old to start). That book, Turkeys are Jerks and Other Observations from an American Road Trip, lit a long-dormant fire, and she’s continued to write and publish travel books at a rapid pace ever since. She still wanted to write novels, though, and after a breast cancer gut punch, decided at age 51 not to wait any more. Alex Paige sprung out of her head, Athena-like, and hasn’t left her alone since.

When Theresa’s not telling people where to go or being told by Alex and friends what to write, she’s reading (of course), learning, cooking, figuring out how to spend as much time outside as possible, or annoying her husband. And sometimes, all of the above.
