A St. Patrick's Day leprechaun hunt turns deadly when the tide delivers a dead body , and Pelican Shores’ charm suddenly feels like a cover story. Finn Dockrey just wants to serve coffee and teach pottery at Sandy Brews Cafe , not collect clues. But when a quiet visitor named Sloane is found weighted down in the Gulf, Finn’s instincts flare, and so does her determination to protect her town. Her best friend Birdie brings the sarcasm, the backbone, and a tote-bag cat with royal attitude , while Beau the golden retriever “assists” like he’s been deputized by cuteness. Then Sloane’s painted leprechauns start whispering secrets : a strange symbol stamped beneath the glaze, a trail of half-hidden travel notes, and a motive that smells like money with a side of betrayal. Suspicion swirls around Lettie Quinn, the binocular-toting grammar enforcer who always knows too much, and Buster Williams, the smooth-talking city manager with everything to lose. As warnings sharpen into threats, Finn has to decode Sloane’s final message before the killer decides the next thing the ocean keeps is her.
