About the book
Reporter Meg Reed made a grim discovery during what was supposed to be an enjoyable surf lesson - she knew right away that it was no accident.
Meg had come to Hood River to cover the renowned King of the Hook windsurfing competition for her magazine, expecting a simple assignment filled with sun, sand, and impressive stunts. Instead, she found herself struggling in the water during a surf lesson, stumbling upon the body of a famous windsurfer.
Amidst the chaos of the competition and the town abuzz with speculation, Meg couldn't resist delving into the truth behind the incident. With heat exhaustion, romantic entanglements with her best friend Matt, and buried animosities surfacing in the close-knit surfing community, Meg realizes that dangerous undercurrents lurk beneath Hood River's relaxed facade.
As a killer remains at large, Meg will rely on her determination, a strong cup of coffee, and her keen reporter's instincts to see this through.
This charming mystery blends small-town allure with gripping suspense, catering to readers who enjoy mysteries infused with outdoor excitement and a touch of romance. A must-read for fans of Tonya Kappes, Ellery Adams, and Lauren Elliott.
A Body at the Beach was formerly released as Silenced in the Surf.
