Publication Date: 2007

A very fun book to read, much in the vein of Evanovich or Grafton. A lot of sarcasm, humor and just enough crime and mystery to keep the story hopping.
Kell is a newspaper reporter for the local Folly Island paper who works with her best pals, a photographer and a crime reporter. She also lives in the bottom half of a house, and spends much of her home life trying to avoid her seriously odd upstairs neighbors.
Besides the neighbors, she has a great life. Lives on the beach, small town community, tight friends, big dog, great job...... until murdered surfer girls start turning up literally right under her feet.
She goes for a jog, runs into a dead girl under the pier, goes for a bike ride, falls over another dead girl. Suspicious looks start to head her by the Chief of Police. Kell decides to take matters into her own hands before a dead girl shows up on her couch.
An amusing murder mystery with never a slow moment. I look forward to more books from Michele in the future.
