How to Kill a Kingpin:
The Ex-Whisperer Files #2
Gina Malone, aka the Ex-Whisperer, is an expert on exes and bestselling relationship advice author, who meddles in people’s affairs for a living. She’s one part Stephanie Plum, one part Dear Sugar, and a newly divorced, empty nester who just turned 50. Our gal has pushed the fresh start button on a whole new life—Could be the world is her oyster, then again, pearls are known to bring bad luck.
It’s a not-so-happy Halloween weekend in Gina’s tiny tourist town on the Canadian shores of Lake Huron. Masses of Millennials, throngs of Gen Xers, and hordes of Boomers are converging for Sunset Beach High’s 150th-anniversary celebrations, plunging the Ex-Whisperer and her gal pals up to their necks in exes.
Some people go to reunions to relive their past, others, to exact revenge for it. One former student has a deadly chip on their shoulder, and they blame cool-kid Gina for their years as a loner. So many great reasons to skip your high school reunion, not the least of which, to avoid being murdered.
“It’s times like these when a gal’s got her ex-husband hiding inches away from her new boyfriend and a murdered man in rigor on the floor beside her that being good at lying would sure come in handy.” ~ HOW TO KILL A KINGPIN

"How to Murder a Marriage is a tough act to follow, but How to Kill a Kingpin is a smash hit that more than equals Gabrielle St. George’s first book in her Ex-Whisperer mystery series. The star of the show is Gina Malone, who is equal parts Miss Marple, Agatha Raisin, and Stephanie Plum. Gina is determined to avoid her high school reunion, a decision made easier by her online stalker, real-life stalker, ex-husband, and the odd mobster. Fate intervenes, of course, setting her on a high-speed chase that’s as much tied to the past as it is to the present. Fast, funny, and cleverly plotted, this latest installment comes with enough twists, turns, and thorny relationships to keep the reader riveted to the page and eagerly anticipating book three. Highly recommend."

How to Murder a Marriage:
The Ex-Whisperer Files #1
GIVE A MAN ENOUGH ROPE AND HE’LL HANG HIMSELF —BUT BE CAREFUL, THE GALLOWS LOVE A CROWD
Gina Malone, a bestselling relationships advice author and expert on exes, meddles in other people’s affairs for a living. It makes for enemies. One of them is scaring her to death.
A modern-day Miss Lonelyhearts, Gina’s smart, she’s sassy, she’s got a potty mouth, and she’s determined to live life on her own terms. She’s also divorced, an empty nester, and turning fifty. In the true spirit of mid-life crises, Gina dyes her hair, pierces her nose, and moves to a tiny tourist town on the Canadian shores of Lake Huron.
Just as she’s settling into her new life and deciding whether to fall into bed with her hot contractor, Gina advises a reader to leave her husband, right before the woman goes missing. And Gina’s got a stalker. Is it her vengeful ex-husband, the abusive ex of the missing woman, or her new crush’s crazy ex? All three would love to get her alone in some dark and deserted place, which isn’t tough to do since her new residence is an old family cottage she’s renovating on an empty stretch of beach.
Can Gina outsmart her stalker and find the missing woman before the noose around her own neck gets any tighter?
