B&B owner Charlene Morris expects Salem’s first annual mermaid parade will make quite a splash, until a high-profile murder threatens to sink the whole event . . .
Synopsis:
Charlene and her handsome spectral friend, Dr. Jack Strathmore, are thrilled that their Salem, Massachusetts, B&B is overflowing with mermaids in advance of the town’s newest attraction—a mermaid parade! Retired Hollywood actress Trinity Powers has even agreed to appear on the lead float to commemorate her breakout role as the eponymous mermaid in the blockbuster cult classic, Sirena. The parade also features Trinity’s rival, an up-and-coming ingénue, who stars in the film’s recent (and somewhat controversial) reboot. Though their rabid fan clubs seem ready to tear each other—and the festivities—apart, the vying actresses are keeping it cool, for now . . .
But when Charlene discovers a mermaid murdered, she realizes a killer is out to steal the show. With the help of Jack and Detective Sam Holden, Charlene plunges into the case, determined to stop a killer from striking again . . .
Review:
Having had to organize and put on a parade and festival, multiple times, I know the headache they can be, and how life has to plow forward even if something goes wrong. Course with Charlene and her friends, having a murder completely change events wasn't to be expected, and due to being in the wrong place at the right time, Charlene is forced to play detective, even if Sam isn't happy about it, as he worries about her safety, before the murderer can be caught. If you're already a reader of this series, it feels like this book is a bit of a turning point and the authors are hinting at changes to come in the next book. But if you haven't read any of the books, they give you enough info about the main characters and their friends, so you feel like you've gotten to know them all. A charming quick read, this series will grow on you!
