Murder on the Magarita Deck

By Casey Holloway

Paradise has beautiful beaches, strong margaritas-and one very inconvenient murder.
Former intelligence analyst Mia Harrington and her husband Luke move to Pineapple Pointe hoping Florida sunshine and a slower pace will help them rebuild their strained marriage. Instead, they discover their seemingly ordinary seaside town is home to a discreet lifestyle community where open-minded couples, nudists, retirees, and colorful locals live by three essential rules: consent, discretion, and respect.
Unfortunately, someone has added murder to the social calendar.
During the annual Margarita Mixer at Coconut Cove Resort, wealthy yacht owner Gerald Blackwell disappears from the party. By sunrise, his body is floating beside his luxury yacht, the *Golden Current*. The sheriff suspects a drunken accident, but Mia notices too many details that do not fit-including a mysterious bruise, a missing watch, a scrubbed section of deck, and Gerald's glamorous girlfriend vanishing without a trace.
As Mia and Luke begin asking questions, they uncover blackmail, offshore accounts, secret photographs, and suspicious nighttime boat traffic. Gerald was not merely a wealthy retiree with a talent for making enemies. He was connected to a criminal intelligence network operating along Florida's Gulf Coast-and someone will do anything to recover the evidence he left behind.
With danger closing in, Mia must rely on the instincts she hoped to leave in Washington. Luke must decide whether their new life can survive another round of secrets. And the residents of Pineapple Pointe must prove that a community built on honesty can stand together when one of its own is hiding a deadly truth.
Warm, witty, and filled with tropical intrigue, *Murder on the Margarita Deck* is the first book in the **Pineapple Pointe Mysteries**, a cozy mystery series featuring mature romance, found family, amateur sleuths, and a Florida beach town where gossip travels faster than a golf cart.
Pour yourself something tropical and settle in-because in Pineapple Pointe, the cocktails are cold, the neighbors are welcoming, and murder never stays secret for long.
