Sex and Death on the Beach
(2025)(A book in the Florida Beach mystery series)
A novel by Elaine Viets
It’s not all sun, sea and sizzling fun in Peerless Point . . . introducing Florida’s new sleuthing queen and owner/resident of the Floradora, Nora McCarthy, who discovers bone-chilling secrets lurking beneath her beloved apartment building.
The discovery of porn star Shirley Lane’s body by plumbers carrying out repairs to her courtyard pool is bad news for Nora McCarthy, resident and owner of the Florodora, the most exclusive apartment building in Peerless Point, South Florida. Unfortunately Detective Roy Dickson remembers the argument Nora had with Shirley – notorious for having sex on the beach with a college football star – six months ago, the last day she was seen alive.
Nora quickly becomes the police’s prime suspect. But when more bones are dug up from the same hole and a further discovery transports Nora back to a family tragedy decades ago, she is shocked to her core. Is it pure coincidence that more than one person was buried by Norah’s pool, and could the real murderer be closer to home than she thinks?
This addictive series with its delightfully quirky, endearing female protagonist, eccentric characters, Floridian setting and dark crimes combines the outrageousness of Florida Man and Florida Woman with a twisty mystery, perfect for fans of Carl Hiaasen and Tim Dorsey.
