A who-dunnit set on Myrtle Beach, a cozy mystery full of twists that will carry you through the Grand Strand as if you were there on vacation. A true "beach read" full of fun." - C. Hope Clark, author of the award-winning Edisto Island Mysteries. chopeclark.com "(I) strongly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good mystery in the vein of Agatha Christie or Dorothy Sayers." - Jessica C. Joiner, author of the Dare & JT Crime Dramas and the Scott McCully Espionage Adventures One can almost smell the salt air in the opening pages. This charming read has a protagonist you want to see again, locations you hope to visit, and a conclusion that took me completely by surprise. Sprinkled throughout the pages are incidental bits of goofy good humor and interesting minor characters clearly drawn from the people who populate beach areas. They are familiar, they are funny, and they won't give you nightmares. - Lisa Brewer, Foothills Digest (Issue XV) "This book has it all—Myrtle Beach, mystery, and... murder?
