The Five Strangers (Tropical Breeze Cozy Mystery Book 18)
By Mary Bowers
Tropical Breeze, Florida is just a sleepy little beach community. Vacationers and snowbirds tend to favor the bigger cities nearby, such as St. Augustine or Daytona. So why the sudden influx of strangers who have nothing to do with one another? First, a newcomer decides to open an antique shop on the same block as Taylor Verone’s resale shop. Then a wandering minstrel shows up, followed by a personable bachelor, a vengeful lunatic, even a vampire. The sudden influx puts Breezers on edge, and the local jack-of-all-trades even thinks he’s been cursed.
Can paranormal investigator Edson Darby-Deaver lift the curse? Can Taylor Verone keep her resale shop afloat? Will the Chief of Police ever solve a murder without the help of a bunch of amateurs? Under the watchful green eyes of Taylor’s mysterious cat, Bastet, the local sleuths do their best to unravel the strangers’ secrets before they begin to wreak havoc and someone gets killed.
