In book 8 of the Southern Beach Mystery series, kicking off the summer with a Memorial Day beach weekend sounds great to Jewel Mantelle, especially now that she and her friends have a whole new venture to share. Sandy Bottoms has everything a Florida roadside hotel needs: a pool, beach access, comfortable lounge chairs, and plenty of seafood. And if you're having a wedding at the beach, as the hotel's first guests are, a seafood buffet is a must! Sophia Island is known for its shrimp, but oysters are popular too. That is, until a bad half shell proves more trouble than it's worth.
Where did the poison come from? The bride's family? The groom's? Someone wanting to ruin the friends' dreams of hotel ownership? Questions are far more plentiful than answers as the beach still beckons-although the seafood is, well, maybe not as appetizing as it was before.
Are the oysters even to blame?
THE OYSTER DID IT is a clean and cozy beach mystery set in a historic small town. It'll keep you reading well after bedtime and slathering on sunscreen to get a few more poolside pages in.
