Who's littering
the park with corpses?
State Park Rangers
Simon Ribault and Ellie Ironstone are used to dealing with messy
campers and ravaging raccoons, but when three bodies wash up on the
beach, they mobilize all their powers of deduction. Who are they and
how did they get to the shore of Amelia Island? Are they connected to
the secretive League of the Green Cross? Or linked to a mysterious
Jamaican drug ring?
Ellie, new to
Amelia Island, must penetrate a close-knit community if she wants to
find answers to the mystery, all while deciding between two rivals
for her affection: Thad, the handsome local idol, and Simon, the
clever, quirky bookworm.
Simon, for his
part, will have to call on his not-so-well-honed romantic prowess to
lure Ellie away from Thad and at the same time use his wide-ranging
research skills to solve the case.
Flotsam
and Jetsam: The Amelia Island Affair; is a contemporary mystery written by
M. S. Spencer; a December 17, 2018 release out of The Wild Rose Press
Our Review:
One
of the charms of this contemporary mystery is the manner in which the
author weaves the history of Amelia Island and the local culture into
the plot, lending the book flavor and local color of the Sea Islands.
One caution: we suggest the reader take their time with this latest
release by M.S. Spencer in order to absorb the myriad named
characters, their occupations and relationship to the two leads,
Ellie and Simon.

Thank you for such a thoughtful, kind review! In my last book, The Pit & the Passion, I listed the cast of characters in the front matter, and readers liked it. After all, Agatha Christie did it!
