English girl Ellie is a \'fish-out-of-water\' when she arrives in sunny Florida for a vacation with her aunt at a luxury beach resort.
First there\'s the resident cat Mojito, who leads Ellie on a wild \'gator\' chase, and then there\'s the handsome resort doctor who sets Ellie\'s pulse racing in a different way! As more red herrings than sand dollars wash up on the beach, Ellie must use all her wits to solve the case before her visit to the Sunshine State becomes deadlier than she ever imagined....
Life gets even more complicated when she starts snooping around the resort.
But Ellie is sure that her aunt isn\'t guilty.
Is the killer a jealous rival author? Or the victim\'s secret lover? And why are some of the resort staff behaving so suspiciously? To make things worse, Aunt Olive has gone missing, fueling gossip that she might be on the run.
With a writers\' conference in full flow, there\'s no shortage of suspects.
Now Ellie must battle sunburn, jet lag and a cheeky parrot named Hemingway, while trying to unravel the mystery.
But she\'s barely dipped her toe in the ocean before she stumbles on a sinister murder.
