I thought a beach vacation in Sand Dollar Sound would be all sunshine, sea air, and secondhand bookshops — until a body turned up at our bed and breakfast.

I’m Lydia Bellweather, journalist, amateur sleuth, and apparently, a magnet for murder.

One minute, I was unpacking my sandals and sampling crab melts with my best friend Molly, and the next, Eldon Mulligan — the town’s most mysterious resident — was found dead in his room under suspicious circumstances.

Something about this doesn’t sit right with me. Maybe it’s the strange receipt Eldon left behind for the local bookshop, or the whispers about a lost pirate treasure buried somewhere off the coast.

Either way, Sheriff Thornton thinks I should mind my own business. But I didn’t pack my notebook and my grumpy cat, Tiger, just to sit on the sidelines.

Armed with a suspicious map, a salty parrot, and my best friend, I’m diving headfirst into the secrets of Sand Dollar Sound.

With a compass in hand, a parrot squawking riddles, and Tiger on high alert, I’m about to find out just how far someone will go to protect a secret.

Perfect for fans of: Small-town intrigue, quirky characters, and a cozy mystery with both feline and feathered sidekicks that add their own brand of grumpy charm to the investigation.
