It’s smooth sailing for Eve Appel and her friend Madeleine,
owners of Second to None Consignment Shop in rural Florida’s
Sabal Bay, land of swamps, cowboys, and lots and lots of
’gators. Eve and her detective boyfriend Alex have joined
Madeleine and her new beau David Wilson for a pleasure
cruise on his boat. But cloudy, dangerous waters lie ahead.
A near fatal encounter with Blake Reed, David’s supremely
nasty neighbor, is soon followed by a shooting death on the
dividing line between David and Blake’s land. Both men run
sport-hunting reserves, but Blake imports “exotics” from
Africa and promotes gator killing, while David stays within
the law, pointing clients toward the abundant quail and
turkey as well as the wild pigs that ravage the landscape.
Nevertheless, when a mutual client is killed, it is David
who is arrested and charged with murder. Blake’s nastiness
is only exceeded by that of his wife, Elvira, who forces Eve
and Madeleine out of their shop, intending to replace it
with a consignment shop of her own. It seems that bad luck
looms over them all, even Eve’s brawny and hard-to-resist
Miccosukee Indian friend Sammy, whose nephew has
disappeared. As the case against David grows stronger and
his friends’ misfortunes multiply, Eve and her strange and
diverse group of friends, including her ex, a mobster, her
grandma, and Sammy’s extended family, band together to take
on the bad guys. But the waters are getting muddier and more
troubled, and Eve and Madeleine may end up inundated in
every sense of the word.
Book 3 in the Eve Appel Mystery series, which began with A
Secondhand Murder and continued with Dead in the Water.
