Nestled in the
barrier islands of Florida’s Gulf Coast, Fort Myers Beach is home to
Mary “Sassy” Cabot and Bridget Mayfield—owners of the bookstore café,
Read ’Em and Eat. But when they’re 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 it’s not Rowena Gustavson loudly debating the merits of the current book club selection, it’s Miss Augusta Maddox lecturing tourists on rumors of sunken treasure among the islands. It’s no wonder Sassy’s favorite is Delia Batson, a regular at the Emily Dickinson table. Augusta’s cousin and best friend Delia is painfully shy—which 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 doesn’t have time for sympathy. She wants Delia’s killer found—and she’s not taking no for an answer. Now Sassy is on the case, and she’d better act fast before there’s any more trouble in paradise.
This was a great start to a new series. I really loved this book. The characters are warm, funny and make the story that much more fantastic. Great job. I look forward to the next book.
