Publisher's summary

False crawl? Nesting season? Turtle monitors?

Jewel Mantelle is just beginning to get used to the humidity in her new Southern home on Sophia Island, when Turtle Season opens way too early. At least, it's too early according to her friends with Turtle Trackers.

Is it a true sea turtle nest found on a stormy April morning? Not likely, when a body is eventually discovered buried where the eggs should be. Jewel has enough on her plate to worry about a false turtle nest since she's trying to clean up the old house her husband inherited in the historic downtown of Sophia Beach. A project her disinterested husband is too busy working out of town to worry with, so she invites a local young woman to move into the Mantelle Mansion to help.

However, when the body is found to have close ties to one of Jewel's new friends, the lunch group starts trying to figure out what happened. Between college kids partying on the beach, a senator's illegitimate child, a lost sketch pad, and warring turtle factions, it's a miracle Jewel even had time to try biscuits and gravy.

But she did...and she's a fan.

Cute story. Needs editing.

I actually thought it was a pretty good cozy mystery. It was frustrating to listen to it. Throughout the book there are various grammar errors. I thought maybe it was due to my misunderstanding the southern dialect. When I heard the term "flock of crows," I knew it should have been a "murder of crows." This confirmed the book needs editing.

stimulating series

The villain in this one was a twisted one, imo. I enjoyed the ladies group and their conversations. Jewel's house reminds me of the B & B from this author's Chancey series where people feel free to drop in. I'm more concerned with Jewel's absentee spouse???? Looking for to more. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review.
