One Woman’s Trash Is Another Woman’s Mystery…

When mystery writer Christy Castleman’s Aunt Bobbie storms into town, she brings a burst of wild wind to quiet Summer Breeze, Florida–and new life to the junk she scavenges for her trash-to-treasure shop, I Saw It First.
Bobbie enjoys restoring beauty to flawed items, and her free-spirited approach to life attracts a range of Summer Breezers, including members of the local Red Hat chapter, crusty widower Jack, and Christy’s roguish brother, Seth. Bobbie’s battered red truck becomes a familiar sight around the coastal hamlet–loaded down with such odd items as a huge old pickle barrel–and her electric presence lights up the Blues Club in the evenings.
But the fun and games turn deadly when Eddie Bodine, Bobbie’s ex-husband, is found dead in her pickle barrel. As compelling evidence mounts against Bobbie, can Christy and the Red Hatters expose the real killer before lively Aunt Bobbie is locked away for good?

      The second installment of Darty's cozy series (after
      \t\t When the Sandpiper Calls) finds mystery
      \t\t writer and pastor's kid Christy Castleman playing hostess to her kooky, lovable
      \t\t Aunt Bobbie, who's just blown into town for an unexpected visit. Bobbie is
      \t\t being tailed by her estranged husband, Eddie, and his new girlfriend, who are
      \t\t after money Eddie claims Bobbie took from him. When Eddie turns up dead, the
      \t\t cops suspect Bobbie of foul play, and Christy knows she needs to prove her
      \t\t aunt's innocence. But who did kill Eddie? Was it his new sweetie, perhaps aided
      \t\t and abetted by her psychic mama? A racketeer out to collect a gambling debt? Or
      \t\t a local with a long-standing grudge against Eddie? The subplot concerning
      \t\t Christy's relationship with her maybe-beau Dan is less satisfying than the
      \t\t sleuthing. Still, Bobbie is an appealing character, and one hopes she'll make
      \t\t repeat appearances in this lighthearted, entertaining series.
