After being duped out of her life savings in Germany, Val Fremden retreats home to Florida with more than just her pride in tatters. Broke, jobless, divorced, and 45, she knows starting over won’t be easy. But when her only friend suddenly turns up dead, Val begins to wonder if the world is out to get her.

Maybe it is...

The sugar-white sands of Sunset Beach attract weirdos like mosquitoes to a bug zapper. So when the will of Val’s friend makes the local newspaper, lunatics, and con artists stumble from their beach shacks scuffling for a piece of the leftover pie.

Determined to find her friend’s true heir, Val reluctantly turns to three crackpots for help - a drunk, a redneck, and a snarky beach bum. Working at odds with each other, their bumbling investigation attracts the attention of a hot cop. He quickly gets into the fray and under Val’s skin. Whether it’s in a good way or bad only time will tell....

A Great Find!

I happened upon this series by accident and I am so glad that I did! Very entertaining and the narration is great! Looking forward to the next in this series!

Great start to a series

This is a good listen. Funny and not to serious. I wish Val wouldn’t take so much crap tho. Wish she wouldn’t be so scared of the bully! It would have been good to see some Karma hit her in the nose!!

I really liked this book. Glad One was interesting and fun. The characters were very likable, and I felt like I was there with them. I didn't know how it was going to end until the very last minute, except who the murderer was. I hope another audible comes out soon.
