Murder at Sugar Rush Beach by Paula Lennon

Detective Preddy hoped for a quiet start to the new year. But there’s a murder at Sugar Rush Beach. A man is stabbed through the heart with an antique awl.

The victim, Jerome Baccus, was the nephew of a local developer who wanted to transform this quiet beach into a high-end tourist complex. Now he’s dead.

Everything points to a rival developer. But Preddy realizes other people might have wanted to kill Jerome:

His two girlfriends.
The Sugar Rush beach vendors.
The sugar daddy of one girlfriend.

Meanwhile, Preddy must work with Scottish detective Sean Harris. And Preddy knows that Harris is conducting a covert internal investigation.

When a woman is found dead, the stakes are raised. And everyone’s career is on the line.
