Three Sons and a Secret

A Signature Seashell Key Mystery

When the Hollister sons return to Seashell Key for their parents' 35th anniversary party, the last thing anyone expects is murder.

A surprise blackout turns a festive marina celebration into the scene of a crime when Dr. Samuel Wilson is found dead at the buffet table. As suspicions swirl and a storm rolls in, Deputy Colton Briggs orders everyone to stay put—locking the entire town into a long, sleepless night.

With family tensions rising and secrets unraveling, Barrett Hollister finally confesses to a past betrayal by the victim—one that could cast suspicion on his entire family. While the townspeople play trivia and stage limbo contests to ease the panic, a red shawl, a forgotten grudge, and a suspicious dose of insulin point to a chilling motive.

Three Sons and a Secret is the nineteenth book in the Seashell Key Mysteries series, full of warmth, wit, and unexpected clues. If you love small-town drama, family secrets, and porch-light justice, pour yourself a cup of strong coffee and settle in for another unforgettable mystery on Florida’s Gulf Coast.
