Fun Read, But Wanted More Pirates

This is an enjoyable and fun short book. The author does a great job setting the scene and describing the inhabitants of the island setting. Having vacationed to the Outer Banks area and having lived in coastal southern Virginia, I was very happy with the setting and tone of the book. However, as a personal preference, I don't need to know exactly what every person is wearing before getting into the action of the scene. I prefer it when an author allows me to picture a character based on the things they do and say. The plot is fun and interesting. I wish the author would have included more action, haunts, and mystery. At times it felt a bit like a travelogue as we followed the protagonist couple on every step of their vacation even if it was something that did not push the plot forward. I wanted more pirates, maybe even a flash back scene. SPOILER: I was confused at one point when the MC rented a safe deposit box to hold the coin, then in the next scene had the coin in her purse. Maybe I missed something. END SPOLIER: To be clear, I enjoyed the story and don't want my thoughts to take away from that. Take this one with you to the beach for a fun get away.

The narrator did a great job bringing the story to life.

A Beautiful Told Vacation Story

This is about this Author's visit to the Island that she with her husband go to every year. This particular year they found something in the sand at the Beach and the vacation home they rent (Haunted, unbeknownst to Owners) . They talk about a Wounderful homemade Clam Chowder Soup their friends made. At the end of this book the author gives the reader the Recipe for this soup.

The Case of the Cursed Coin

I enjoyed this story in one sitting. Ginger and Beau spend their vacation at their favorite destination, Chincoteague Island. While enjoying their time, Ginger discovers a rare coin. Chaos ensues including a visit by a ghostly pirate who wants his coin back.

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a fun tale of pirates and hauntings.
