About this eBook
Bestselling author Sherry Harris gives us the second in a new cozy mystery series featuring a bartender sleuth in the tiny town of Emerald Cove, Florida.
BAD TO THE BONE
Chloe loves her new life pouring beers and mixing cocktails at the Sea Glass Saloon in the Florida Panhandle town of Emerald Cove. But on the job, the only exercise she gets is walking from one end of the bar to the other, so in the mornings she loves to run on the beach. On this morning’s foggy run, she spots a sailboat washed up on a sandbar. Hearing a cry, she climbs aboard the beached vessel to investigate and finds not only a mewling kitten—but a human skeleton in the cabin.
The skeleton is tied back to Chloe’s friend Ralph, whose wife disappeared on a sailboat with three other people twelve years ago. Believing his wife was lost at sea, Ralph remarried. Now he finds himself a murder suspect. Chloe is determined to find out who’s been up to some skulduggery, but her sleuthing will lead her into some rough waters and some bone-chilling revelations…
“Entertaining…a pleasantly appealing debut series.”

cozy-mystery, family-dynamics, Florida, friendship, librarian, mysteries, investigation, greed, flim-flam, law-enforcement***** When her best friend died in Afghanistan, Chicago children's librarian Chloe got herself down to the Florida panhandle to fulfill the promise she made after learning that he was not only in love with her but left his house, boat, and his share of the Sea Glass Saloon to her. After closing up in Chicago, she goes for a morning run in the fog and comes across an abandoned sailboat with a small cat trapped inside with a skeleton and a few artifacts of fairly recent vintage. Getting back to shore is a problem once the boat is adrift again and the questions keep piling up. Things get even worse when a bounder from the past threatens Chloe and her prickly business partner. Let the sleuthing begin! I was happy to get this ARC because I really loves the first book in the series, so I can't really say this is an unbiased review. I requested and received a free ebook copy from Kensington Books via NetGalley. Thank you!
