A Body on Fitzgerald’s Bluff
A Body on Fitzgerald’s Bluff comes first in the Seaview Cottage series. The book stars Miriam Webster, a recently widowed woman who desires to be a writer. Miriam lives in Hemingway Cottage with a Dalmatian named Domino. After her husband’s passing, Miriam had discovered that her husband’s wild schemes had almost left them bankrupt. Fortunately, Peter had bought the Hemingway Cottage before his death, so Miriam has a cozy place to live in. The only catch is that the community is only meant for retirees 55 years older. Miriam is just 50, and she hopes that no one will notice her age or know that her husband has already passed on.

Mirian and Domino are enjoying a walk behind the cottage when they discover a woman’s body. When other neighbors hear Domino’s distress barking, they all rush to the scene. Unfortunately, the cell service on the bluff when the body is discovered is poor, so they all rush to the community clubhouse to call the police through the landline. Deputy Sheriff Darnell Devers responds fast to their call, only to get to the crime scene, and the body is gone. However, they do find a shoe and a few personal effects close to where they had seen the body. A while later, a call comes through that the body has been sighted some distance away. Who moved the body from the original sighting and why?

The police discover that the dead woman was a young lady who sang at clubs and used men for their money. She enjoyed hurting people and had many enemies. The ladies from the Seaview Cottage community decide to help the detective in charge investigate this case. These ladies, calling themselves Charly’s angels, will have quite an adventure as they try to unravel the mystery behind the killing.
