About Death in the Kitchen: A Pickleball Cozy Mystery (Palm Royale Mysteries Book 1):
Death in the Kitchen: A Palm Royale Mystery
Serve. Volley. Die.
Sophie Miller is just one tournament away from securing her dream promotion at the ultra-exclusive Palm Royale Invitational. As the tournament director, she’s used to handling high-strung billionaires and tech-mogul egos. But she wasn’t prepared for a dead body in “the kitchen”—the most contested spot on the pickleball court.
When the local police label the death an accident, Sophie knows better. With the help of the stoic and sharp Detective Liam Vance, Sophie must dive into a world of industrial sabotage, high-tech drones, and secrets hidden behind gated estates.
In a world where the stakes are higher than a championship point, Sophie has to find the killer before she becomes the next target.
If you love fast-paced banter, high-society drama, and the competitive world of pickleball, you’ll love Mirren Miller’s debut mystery.

Author Bio:
Mirren Miller has always been fascinated by what happens behind the perfectly manicured hedges of the world’s most exclusive zip codes. A former high-society event coordinator turned mystery novelist, Mirren traded her seating charts for plot twists and never looked back.
Raised on a steady diet of Agatha Christie and afternoon tea, Mirren brings a modern, “sporty” edge to the classic whodunit. Her debut series, the Palm Royale Mysteries, was inspired by her own time spent on the pickleball courts, where she realized that the only thing more competitive than a championship dink shot is the drama unfolding on the sidelines.
When she isn’t dreaming up new ways to complicate the life of her protagonist, Sophie Miller, Mirren can be found scouting Florida’s best coastal cafes, perfecting her backhand, or traveling in search of the perfect gated community to “fictionalize.” She believes that every paradise has a dark side, and she’s determined to unmask it—one chapter at a time.
