Sex and Death on the Beach

It's not all sun, sea and sizzling fun in Peerless Point . . . introducing Florida's new sleuthing queen and owner/resident of the Florodora, Norah McCarthy, who discovers bone-chilling secrets lurking beneath her beloved apartment building.

The discovery of porn star Sammie Lant's body by plumbers carrying out repairs to the courtyard pool is bad news for Norah McCarthy, resident and owner of the Florodora, the most exclusive apartment building in Peerless Point, South Florida. Unfortunately Detective Jordan DeMille remembers the argument Norah had with Sammie - who gained local notoriety by having sex on the beach with a college football star - six months ago, the last day she was seen alive.

Norah quickly becomes the police's prime suspect. But when more bones are dug up from the same hole and a further discovery transports Norah back to a family tragedy from 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 a quirky, strong-willed female protagonist, eccentric characters, Floridian setting and astonishingly dark crimes combines the outrageousness of Florida Man and Florida Woman with a twisty mystery, perfect for fans of Carl Hiaasen and Tim Dorsey.
