Tori Cannon and her grandfather, Herb, return from her
grandmother’s funeral, and it’s with sadness that she
learns the bait shop and small motel they ran has fallen
on hard times. Jammed into one of the motel’s units is the
body of one of Herb’s customers, his mouth filled with
spikes. The victim had no enemies, except for maybe the
rich woman who wanted to level his eyesore of a home. But
he also had a daughter who’s resentful her father wasn’t a
major force in her life, and some friends who were
anything but friends.
Tori’s friend, Kathy, arrives to help spruce up the
property, and the two of them find themselves mixed up in
the petty jealousies and deadly consequences that murder
entails. Can they save the bait shop and find a murderer
or will they, too, sleep with the fishes?

weekend of wine, cookies, and laughter, but there’s also
the specter of a panty pincher hanging around the laundry
room of the complex where Tori lives. Kathy thinks they
can catch the culprit red-handed in a panty raid!
