Mystery Woman Sleuth
When her father is fingered for murder, itβs up to Sally Solari to serve up the real killer before their new restaurantβs reputation goes up in smoke. Itβs Indian summer in Santa Cruz and restaurateur Sally Solari decides an open-air painting class is the perfect way for her to learn more about Paul Gaugin, the inspiration for her familyβs newest restaurant. But the beauty of the Monterey Bay coastline is shattered when Sallyβs dog Buster sniffs out a corpse tangled up in kelp. The body is identified as Gino, a local fisherman and a regular at the Solarisβ restaurant until he disappeared after dining there a few nights before. Witnesses claim he left reeling drunk, but his waitress swears Gino only had two beers with his dinner. And then the fingers begin to point at Sallyβs dad for negligently allowing an inebriated customer to walk home alone at night. From a long menu of suspects that includes Anastasia, the mysterious woman who dined with Gino that fateful night, Ginoβs deckhand Bobby, and bocce player Frank who accused Gino of cheating, Sally must serve up the tall order to clear her fatherβs name.
