Seven Swans a’ Shooting (12 Days of Killer Fiction #7)

Brigid says: An amusing short story featuring thriller writer and occasional sleuth Sophie Katz. It's Christmas time in San Francisco and Sophie’s sister needs help event planning a tech millionaire’s Swan Lake flash mob-inspired marriage proposal. But all those plans fly south when Sophie finds the prima ballerina dead and the engagement ring missing. Now she has to track down the culprit and help save her sister’s livelihood in more ways than one. I had never read this series before and was able to jump right in and quickly fell in love with Sophie’s cat, Mr. Katz.
