Fields' Guide to Abduction

A laugh out loud cozy mystery adventure by USA TODAY bestselling author Julie Mulhern.

For Hollywood influencer Poppy Fields, life is almost perfect. She wakes to sip coffee at her beachside bungalow, lunches with pretty people, and her name is on the list at all the right nightclubs. Also, she shops. Like, a lot.

When Poppy travels to Mexico, with six bulging suitcases in tow, she’s ready for anything—sunbathing by breath-taking infinity pools, gourmet meals at five-star restaurants, glittering parties on patios overlooking the Pacific. Too bad she didn’t pack for a deadly adventure.

But then again, what does one wear for murder?

Or kidnapping?

Or meeting a Chihuahua with the heart of a lion?

Turns out Poppy is more than just a Hollywood golden girl. But with death lurking around every corner, she'll need smarts, acting skills, and a lot of luck to make it back to Rodeo Drive.
