In Gregory’s first book, Scone Cold Killer, we meet Gia when she originally decides to flee New York and head down to Florida. After her marriage falls apart, Gia discovers her ex-husband is a con artist who has scammed half the city’s millionaires, and Gia wants to be out of there before they seek revenge. However, her safety doesn’t last long as one day she opens up her dumpster to find her ex-husband’s body crammed inside.
Following the hit success of Scone Cold Killer, Gregory continues the series with Murder Made to Order, A Cold Brew Killing, and A Waffle Lot of Murder.
