Welcome to Teaser Tuesday hosted by Ambrosia  @ The Purple Booker.

My Teaser for this week is from

Hurricane Season

A Florida Panhandle Mystery#1

by Michaela Thompson

Genre: Mystery

 My teaser from 26% in the eBook.

 The figure caught in the net was not, as he had been trying to tell himself, a large fish or a sodden pile of clothing. Dark hair wafted around what was unmistakably a woman’s head. As he watched, the dark shape of a catfish swam up and nuzzled at her fingers.

I know this is a bit gruesome. This story takes place practically in my back yard and I could see this so clearly. You cast a net in the muddy bayou and who knows what you’ll dredge up.

Read on if you want to know more.

Synopsis

Sticky, sultry Palmetto had seen its share of hurricanes and evil. But it was an ill wind that blew through the Gulf-coast Florida town in the summer of ’52.

Diana Landis, well-known in every barroom, and more than a few bedrooms in town, was found beneath the dock, afloat in a fishing net. Her lover, Bo Calhoun, had already seen his family’s moonshine still set ablaze by arsonists. Congressman Robert “Snapper” Landis seemed more interested in his tough reelection campaign with Gospel Roy McInnes than in his daughter’s murder. And Wesley Stafford, a young seminarian more familiar with salvation than seduction, was in jail when, it seemed, he confessed to the killing.

All that was before storekeeper Lily Trulock left her neglecting husband to his beekeeping and ran her skiff to the island of St. Elmo, where an even bigger wind threatened to blow the lid off the whole county!
