Sea-Devil (A Delilah Duffy Mystery, #1) / A Delilah Duffy Mystery (ePub)

"I was on the end of my seat the whole time and couldn't put the book down. It's a well-thought-out story, full of unexpected twists and turns. I highly recommend it!"

- The International Review of Books (Gold Star Review)

You never get over your first love. How about your first murder?

When her life falls apart, Delilah Duffy returns to the island she loved as a child to reinvent herself as the manager of Beach Read Books. A seaside vacation spot is the perfect place to start over and just what the error-prone book nerd needs. Or so she thinks.

But disappearing into the anonymous folds of a tourist town isn't easy. Her arrival sets off a string of disturbing acts of vandalism.

The message is clear-everyone wants to see her fail.

Well, everyone except Sam Teague-her first love and worst heartbreak. Now a local cop, he offers the support and encouragement she desperately needs. But he broke her heart once-she can't let it happen again, no matter what her heart tells her.

When a man is murdered in her bookstore the night before her grand opening, Delilah tops the short list of suspects. The evidence mounts along with the ill-will of islanders.

With her second chance at risk, she's forced to do whatever it takes to clear her name, even if that means partnering with the one who broke her heart.
