Death on the Boardwalk

A quiet bookstore, a hidden body, and a reluctant sleuth-nothing stays peaceful for long on the Grand Strand.

Five years after its debut, Death on the Boardwalk returns in a special anniversary edition celebrating the novel that launched the Myrtle Beach Mystery Series.

Bookstore owner Clark Thomas is still grappling with the loss of his wife when a shocking discovery shatters his routine: the body of a friend, hidden behind his shop along the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk. The beloved local businesswoman had no shortage of admirers-yet someone wanted her silenced.

When a worried coworker asks for Clark's help, he reluctantly steps into the role of investigator. What begins as a simple favor soon pulls him into a web of secrets, rivalries, and unforgettable personalities stretching the length of the boardwalk. Each new clue reveals another layer of the victim's life-and another possible motive.

As Clark follows the trail, he must balance his growing determination to uncover the truth with the grief he's been avoiding. Every step brings him closer to the killer-and closer to confronting his own past.

This Five-Year Anniversary Edition includes exclusive bonus content for longtime fans and first-time readers alike: an author's note reflecting on the origins of the series, an alternate opening scene from early drafts, and a specially created map of the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk that blends real locations with the fictional world of the novel.

Filled with heart, humor, and a sleuth readers love to root for, Death on the Boardwalk remains a mystery rich in atmosphere, character, and coastal charm-now presented in a keepsake edition worthy of the story that started it all.
