About florida kills
Retirement was supposed to be easy. Then the alligators got high on cocaine.
Detective Pete Landry thought he'd seen it all. As a burned-out cop and barstool regular in the sleepy town of Goodland, Florida, he was ready to coast into a quiet retirement. But when a notorious NYC mob boss and his trophy wife roll into town, Pete's laid-back life spirals into chaos.
Add a slippery attorney, a sultry herpetologist, and three bumbling mobsters to the mix, and you've got a recipe for disaster—or pure hilarity. Mysterious "Florida" deaths start piling up, and Pete finds himself knee-deep in a whirlwind of coked-up alligators, Cuban drug runners, classic cars, and a nymphomaniac with a penchant for trouble. From lethal coconuts to a junkyard tragedy involving a Honda Civic, the madness escalates.
In a state where the bizarre is just another day, Pete and his motley crew of quirky companions must navigate a maelstrom that could only occur in the feral heart of Florida.
Will Pete solve the case before retirement catches up with him—or will Florida kill him first?

About Ann Kenna
Ann Kenna is a published memoirist, essayist, and performance poet whose work has appeared in Newsday, South Shore Magazine, and numerous online publications and anthologies. Her essay "King Murphy" was featured in Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul and spotlighted on CBS affiliate WUSA's Great Day Washington in a segment about rescued pets and the American Humane Association. Ann recently dropped her beach chair on the sun-soaked shores of Southwest Florida. Immersing herself in the snowbird culture of Marco Island, she caught rare glimpses of old-moneyed senior citizens in their high-end beachfront condos. Venturing further south into the enigmatic Everglades—the end of the road where exotic predators flourish—she found a wellspring of inspiration in Florida's rich tapestry of personal stories and unique, humorous situations.
With a career in elementary special education that sharpened her observational skills, Ann is ever alert for the next awe-inspiring moment or near catastrophe. These qualities, combined with over thirty years of writing experience and the captivating allure of the Everglades, propelled her to create her debut novel, FLORIDA KILLS.

Recent 5 Star Reviews on Amazon
"This is a laugh-out-loud read. The story is a perfect addition to the 'Florida Man' (or woman!) genre with a fun but twisting plot and a really likeable cast of characters. There's a flawed detective, a beautiful intellect, and a number of bad guys to dislike (or actually kinda like a little). Add some geriatric synchronized swimmers, a secretly hot handyman, and other eccentrics. Stir it all together with the author's flair for dialogue and you have the makings for a really fun read."
