Synopsis: Sleuth Eve Appel returns in a mystery that’s “a laugh-out-loud cozy with just the right balance of suspense, plot twists, romance, and airboat rides” (Sharon Potts). Consignment shop owner Eve Appel is excited to see her long-lost Uncle Winston in Sabal Bay, Florida, even if his less-welcome companion, Darlene, is along on the visit. But the reunion is cut tragically short when Winston is shot dead during an airboat ride through the swamps. The killing looks suspiciously like a mob hit, and with good reason. It turns out that Uncle Winston was “connected.” Was he simply a bag man, or something more? Determined to uncover the truth, Eve starts digging into her late uncle’s life and soon discovers that there were plenty of shady characters who could have wanted the man dead. And now that Eve has started investigating, she just may be next. Full of hometown heart and humor, “this second Eve Appel Mystery is a must read” (James R. Callan).
