Description
"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
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.

Ms. St. George writes humorous mysteries and domestic noir about subjects on which she is an expert-mostly failed relationships, hence her debut soft-boiled series, The Ex-Whisperer Files, which launched with HOW TO MURDER A MARRIAGE in 2021. Book #2 in the series HOW TO KILL A KINGPIN followed in 2022, and Book #3 HOW TO BURY A BILLIONARE, publishes in 2023.

She is also the author of the non-fiction GAL GUIDES which include How to Say So Long to Mr. Wrong, How to Know if He's Having an Affair, and How to Survive the Love You Hate to Love. Her first short story, COLD ETHYL, was published in the Canadian Crime Writers 40th Anniversary Anthology, Cold Canadian Crime, in 2022. Gabrielle St. George lives a wildly magical life on a fairy-tale farm along the Saugeen River and spends weekends at her 1930s cabin on the shores of Lake Huron with her partner (current coupling still alive and kicking) and their extremely disobedient dogs. When she's not writing, painting, gardening, stargazing, moondancing, and daydreaming, she travels the world to visit her four fabulous children who live abroad.
