First in a new series!
Nestled in the barrier islands of Floridas Gulf Coast, Fort Myers Beach is home to Mary Sassy Cabot and Bridget Mayfieldowners of the bookstore café, Read Em and Eat. But when theyre not dishing about books or serving up scones, Sassy and Bridgy are keeping tabs on hard-boiled murder.
Read Em and Eat is known for its delicious breakfast and lunch treats, along with quite a colorful clientele. If its not Rowena Gustavson loudly debating the merits of the current book club selection, its Miss Augusta Maddox lecturing tourists on rumors of sunken treasure among the islands. Its no wonder Sassys favorite is Delia Batson, a regular at the Emily Dickinson table. Augustas cousin and best friend Delia is painfully shywhich makes the news of her murder all the more shocking.
No one is more distraught than Augusta, and Sassy wants to help any way she can. But Augusta doesnt have time for sympathy. She wants Delias killer foundand shes not taking no for an answer. Now Sassy is on the case, and shed better act fast before theres any more trouble in paradise.
This was a most delightful read! The characters were perfect in the roles they played and would be fun to have as neighbors or friends in real life. The plot was well planned with no loose ends laying around. The ending made me so happy, that the whole book just was a pure delight to read. What was especially good is that Aunt Ophies pie recipe was in it and Sassy mentioned enough books that the various book clubs were reading in their café meeting that I got 3 of them from paperbackswap.com and/or ordered them to read! A most delightful happy read! Cant wait for the next one in the series!
