Bodies in the Sand

 Murder’s no day at the beach…

Velma Buford thought a Caribbean cruise would be the perfect way to celebrate thirty years of marriage—tropical breezes, all-you-can-eat buffets, and maybe a fruity drink or three. But when a severed finger shows up in her shrimp cocktail, Velma’s vacation takes a sharp turn into mystery.

Now she’s chasing clues from the Lido deck to the beaches of Jamaica, determined to find out who turned their dream getaway into a floating fiasco. With Vernon loyally by her side (and occasionally in the way), Velma’s about to prove that a sharp eye and a little Southern charm go a long way when murder’s on the menu.

Sun, scandal, and a sleuth with sass—because even in paradise, Velma can sniff out a lie faster than you can say “zero-sugar banana pudding.”
