From Author Lena Gregory comes a delicious new mystery...Things have been looking up for Danika Delany's business—her uncle's old fashioned malt shop on eastern Long Island. But for her love life? Not so much. After a disastrous date with Detective Jake Barlow, Danika lets her best friends, Gwen and Eli, talk her into a night out at the hottest new nightclub in town. Only, while there, Dani finds her sort-of boyfriend secreted in the shadows on the beach behind the club with crime boss Patrick Johansen’s wife, Angelique! An upset Dani leaves without giving Jake a chance to explain, but when he doesn’t get in touch the next day, she takes a long walk along the beach to reevaluate her love life. That's where she suddenly stumbles across Angelique’s body buried in the dunes near where she last saw her with Jake. Sure that Jake is innocent—of murder at least—Danika and her friends set out to prove Jake had nothing to do with her murder and stop a killer...before they strike again!

I own the Coffee & Cream Café, which
used to be my Uncle Jimmie’s ice cream parlor, in my home town of Watchogue,
New York, a small town on the south shore of eastern Long Island. Though I grew
up in Watchogue, I spent several years—up until last year, anyway—living in New
York City. Manhattan to be exact, which technically is still an island but so
different from Watchogue it may as well be a million miles away instead of less
than a hundred. Anyway, after running to New York to pursue a degree in
marketing I’ll probably never use, I agreed to return home and take over
Jimmie’s when my family summoned me.
Life in Watchogue moves at a much slower
pace, and I can’t say I miss the hustle and bustle of the city. I love being
back with my family, even if they do drive me a little crazy, especially Aunt
Miriam. I easily picked up my friendship with Gwen, my best friend since
childhood. And I’ve become very close with Eli, the barista I hired who also
happens to be a cybersecurity expert, which has come in handy a time or two.
Since I live just a few miles down the
beach from my shop, I often walk there when I’m stressed. If it’s warm enough,
I take my shoes off and walk along the surf. During the summer months, the beaches
are crowded, even fairly early in the morning, but in the spring and fall I’m
often one of only a few people strolling along the shore. Staring out across
the bay waters brings a sense of peace I’ve never managed to find anywhere
else. Until, of course, I stumble over a body in the dunes—then, not so much.
Watchogue is small. You can drive across
the entire town in a matter of minutes, less if there’s no traffic. Although
summer brings flocks of tourists to Long Island, most of them don’t stop in
Watchogue. They continue on to Quogue, the Hamptons, and Montauk. At least,
they did before Veritas opened. Veritas is a new night club on the bay, and it
is the happening place this summer. Or, it was, before I stumbled over said
dead body of the owner’s wife on the beach outside its doors.
Now, my small town has become the center
of a murder investigation involving a drug cartel from the city, my
sort-of-boyfriend, Detective Jake Barlow, (as a suspect not an investigator)
and my friends and sister. How I ended up in the middle of this mess is beyond
me.
But all in all, I love living in the small Long Island community. I can always stop in the local diner, bakery or deli and get the latest gossip. I have close friends I wouldn’t trade for the world. And I have the cafe I’ve worked so hard for. Now, if bodies would just stop turning up, life would be just about perfect.

Sounds likea great book.
ReplyDeleteWhen I vacation at a beach I walk along the shore, sit on the beach and take in the beauty. The beach town is so special with charming cafes, shops and boutiques. A boardwalk with delightful stores. Beach towns give me great enjoyment and bring back a time from the 1950's.
ReplyDeleteI like to walk barefoot in the warm sand, and visiting an ice cream shop is a definite must!
ReplyDeleteI like to look for sand dollars and shark teeth.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for having me and for sharing the release of Buried on a Sundae!
ReplyDeleteI am not really a beach person, but I do like to wander around the shops that always seem to be nearby. And usually the restaurants have excellent seafood!
