Nestled in the barrier islands of Florida’s Gulf Coast, Fort
Myers Beach is home to Mary “Sassy” Cabot and Bridget
Mayfield—owners of the bookstore café, Read ’Em and Eat. But
when they’re not dishing about books or serving up scones,
Sassy and Bridgy are keeping tabs on hard-boiled murder.
Read ’Em and Eat is known for its delicious breakfast and
lunch treats, along with quite a colorful clientele. If it’s
not Rowena Gustavson loudly debating the merits of the
current book club selection, it’s Miss Augusta Maddox
lecturing tourists on rumors of sunken treasure among the
islands. It’s no wonder Sassy’s favorite is Delia Batson, a
regular at the Emily Dickinson table. Augusta’s cousin and
best friend Delia is painfully shy—which makes the news of
her murder all the more shocking.
No one is more distraught than Augusta, and Sassy wants to
help any way she can. But Augusta doesn’t have time for
sympathy. She wants Delia’s killer found—and she’s not
taking no for an answer. Now Sassy is on the case, and she’d
better act fast before there’s any more trouble in paradise.
This sounds like quite an interesting read, since I've never been to Florida. I've seen plenty of photos, and you do a wonderful job of explaining that area. I'm sure that you'll do a great job of transporting me there as well, once I start reading your book, as well, so I'll have no problem reading your book!! Once the chill of Fall starts here up North, I'll need a book like this to keep me warm, along with a cup of cocoa!! I love the setting as well as the cover!! Great job, and great posting today!! Thank you so much for coming here to Fresh Fiction!! (Peggy Roberson 10:55am August 11, 2014)
I have not read your other book so trying this one. Keep writing because many of us need the outlets of reading. (Sherrie Wood 10:22pm August 11, 2014)
