Romance Suspense | Romance Contemporary | Mystery Woman Sleuth

Liz and her partner, Nate are having a drink after serving a summons when she sees the ghost of her high school best friend, telling her to come home. Shortly after that, Liz gets a phone call telling her that her grandmother has died.

After her return to Stella Maris, Liz learns that her grandmother was murdered. Her brother is the police chief and warns her off the case but Liz is stubborn and won't give up. With Colleen's help, Liz will search out the truth. When Liz learns that she has inherited Gram's home, she makes the decision to move back to Stella Maris.

With her sister telling different people different stories about her plans for a youth camp on Stella Maris, Liz finds herself on the town council taking her Gram's place.

Butting heads with her brother and sister, and getting reacquainted old friends, Liz soon finds herself drawn into a conspiracy of lies surrounding the youth camp.

Ms. Boyer writes a fascinating story with the hint of ghost story mixed in with the mystery. With many plot twists and a very surprising ending, LOWCOUNTRY BOIL kept me guessing all the way through.

SUMMARY

Private Investigator Liz Talbot is a modern Southern belle: she blesses hearts and takes names. She carries her Sig 9 in her Kate Spade handbag, and her golden retriever, Rhett, rides shotgun in her hybrid Escape. When her grandmother is murdered, Liz high-tails it back to her South Carolina island home to find the killer. She's fit to be tied when her police-chief brother shuts her out of the investigation, so she opens her own. Then her long-dead best friend pops in and things really get complicated. When more folks start turning up dead in this small seaside town, Liz must use more than just her wits and charm to keep her family safe, chase down clues from the hereafter, and catch a psychopath before he catches her.
