Around the Post: A Palmetto Island Pickleball Cozy Mystery

About Around the Post: A Palmetto Island Pickleball Cozy Mystery

A hundred-year-old time capsule was supposed to reveal Palmetto Island’s history. Instead, someone is willing to kill to keep it sealed. Retired forensic accountant Pepper Ramirez-Flynn is planning her wedding during the island’s Centennial celebration when genealogist Quentin Lamb is found dead near a mangrove cut.

The official story says kayaking accident. The evidence says otherwise: Quentin couldn’t swim, his life vest and satchel are missing, and his final cloud folder was emptied before his body was found. Quentin spent his last days tracing altered deeds, a sealed probate file, and a powerful law firm that stopped the same time capsule from being opened fifty years ago.

Now the firm is trying to stop it again. With Birdie collecting secrets, Theo beside her at the kitchen line, and Ledger watching every suspect with a greyhound’s judgment, Pepper must follow a century of hidden records to uncover a present-day killer—and expose the crime Palmetto Island was built upon. Because every wall has an edge.

And sometimes the only path to the truth goes around the post.
