First in a new series!
Nestled in the barrier islands of Floridaโs Gulf Coast, Fort Myers Beach is home to Mary โSassyโ Cabot and Bridget Mayfieldโowners of the bookstore cafรฉ, Read โEm and Eat. But when theyโre not dishing about books or serving up scones, Sassy and Bridgy are keeping tabs on hard-boiled murder.
ย
Read โEm and Eat is known for its delicious breakfast and lunch treats, along with quite a colorful clientele. If itโs not Rowena Gustavson loudly debating the merits of the current book club selection, itโs Miss Augusta Maddox lecturing tourists on rumors of sunken treasure among the islands. Itโs no wonder Sassyโs favorite is Delia Batson, a regular at the Emily Dickinson table. Augustaโs cousin and best friend Delia is painfully shyโwhich makes the news of her murder all the more shocking.
ย
No one is more distraught than Augusta, and Sassy wants to help any way she can. But Augusta doesnโt have time for sympathy. She wants Deliaโs killer foundโand sheโs not taking no for an answer. Now Sassy is on the case, and sheโd better act fast before thereโs any more trouble in paradise.
