Pot Luck

"Engaging, hilarious and gratifying. I had so much fun reading this book! St. Thomas's heroine Stephanie Beroe is flawless. 

Stephanie Beroe has her hands full - not that that's anything new. This time, our sanguine heroine is in New Mexico, facing off against a group of formidable foes: the moms in her niece's home school group. Covid lockdown is raging and the kids have their share of challenges, but these pale in comparison to what their conniving, angst-ridden, narcissistic parents are up to. While pandemic restrictions alter the parameters of daily life and everyone slips closer to the edge of social absurdity, an even bigger issue surfaces when the adults in the school group become the target of a clever murderer. As the other parents capitulate into a Wild West frame of mind, it's up to Stephanie to find the killer and restore equanimity."

"Readers are in for a treat when they dip into "Pot Luck" a zesty literary stew that's part thriller and part social satire. It's also the third installment in author J.A. St. Thomas' ongoing Stephanie Beroe Chronicles. Set at the dawn of the COVID outbreak, the savvy and unflappable Stephanie, owner of a cannabis infusion company, is trying to solve a serial murder mystery within her New Mexico town. Unfortunately, nothing is what it appears on the surface and that includes the upscale PTA moms who are part of the "micro-school" Stephanie has formed for her niece during school closures. Written in immaculate, precise prose, "Pot Luck" is as absorbing as it is suspenseful, and full of delicious twists and turns you won't see coming. What culminates is a thrilling, jaw-dropping conclusion that will whet your appetite to further misadventures this talented author has in store for her unforgettable heroine. "Pot Luck" is a can't miss read, a page-turner you need to put on your bookshelf asap! --Iris Dorbian, Business and Arts Journalist (Forbes, Thomson Reuters, Business Insider, Wall Street Journal,Buyouts) author of "Next Stop, Boston" (Black Pawn Press) and "Sentenced to Shakespeare" (Sunbury Press/Milford House Press)
