Flamingo Homicide - Paperback

FLAMINGO HOMICIDE is a darkly satirical thriller about Mallory, a brilliant and deeply damaged woman who learns early that victimhood is currency. From childhood playground mishaps and manipulative family dynamics to adulthood schemes involving questionable baked goods, medical marijuana, psych wards, and the strategic recruitment of feral cats, Mallory survives by turning chaos into leverage.

When she marries Tim for financial security, she is stunned to discover genuine love-only to find herself locked in a ruthless war with her controlling mother-in-law, Valerie Butterbean, who wants Mallory's inheritance, Tim's loyalty, and total dominion over everyone in reach. As tensions spiral through ghostly encounters, public humiliations, and increasingly absurd acts of sabotage, the feud reaches its climax aboard a cruise from hell.

What follows is a shocking death, a media feeding frenzy, and a gleefully exploitative true-crime spectacle that gets nearly everything wrong. Wickedly funny, sharp, and outrageous, FLAMINGO HOMICIDE is a biting exploration of family dysfunction, female rage, reinvention, and the stories society chooses to believe. Perfect for readers who love the psychological venom of Gone Girl with the dark comic absurdity of modern true-crime culture.
