About This Book

Paradise Springs is buzzing with its first-ever arts and music festival—but a shocking murder threatens to bury the fun.

Elmo Simpson, animal removal specialist, resort owner, and festival committee chair, expects a weekend of sandcastles and performances. Instead, there's a body buried in the sand the morning of the beach sculpture contest. When his friend and business partner, Jordan Selassie, becomes the prime suspect, Elmo is forced into another high-stakes investigation.

The list of suspects reads like a who's who of trouble: a hot-tempered wife, a secretive event promoter, and a local artist desperate for cash. Each hides secrets that could make or break the case. With the festival's reputation, the pest control business, and his friend's freedom on the line, Elmo must uncover the truth—before Paradise Springs turns on him.

 

Full of small-town intrigue, suspenseful twists, and oddball humor, this latest installment delivers a clever murder mystery with quirky characters and a relentless pursuit of justice.
