Life's a Beach Cozy Mystery

Welcome to beautiful Sunrise Bay, where the beach is hot and the corpses are cold . . . When Charlie Carter catches her fiancé cheating with her best friend, she swaps power suits for swimsuits and moves to the idyllic seaside town of Sunrise Bay. Maybe a dose of vitamin sea can cure her broken heart. Beautiful beaches aren't the little town's only attractions. It's also the home of her feisty retired aunt, who soon has Charlie surrounded by new friends and fulfilling a lifelong dream of becoming a photographer. Everything is going swimmingly until Aunt Evie's book club pal Peggy turns up deader than Charlie's engagement. Aunt Evie is convinced it was murder and will make waves big enough to swamp the whole retirement village unless Charlie does something about it. Charlie's not convinced, but the more she discovers, the more she suspects that Aunt Evie is right-as usual. Now Charlie-with the help of one inquisitive four-legged neighbor-must use her keen photographer's eye to spot the killer . . . before they take her out of the picture.

A beach wedding with a killer twist . . . Charlie Carter's new life in idyllic Sunrise Bay is beachy keen. A wedding could be the big break Charlie's fledgling photography business needs-she's got all her fingers and toes crossed for a perfect day. Beautiful bride: check. Gorgeous weather: check. Dead guest at the reception: definitely not part of the plan. When the husband of one of Charlie's friends becomes a suspect, Charlie must turn sleuth again. Can she win a game of cat and spouse with the matrimonial murderer before the police arrest the wrong guy?
