博客來Enigma House Press is honored to present a collection of three novels from the award-winning Folly Beach Mystery series by best-selling author Bill Noel, with two of the novels PRETTY PAPER and OVERKILL cowritten by award-winning author Angelica Cruz.
PRETTY PAPER: A Folly Beach Christmas Mystery
Coauthored with Angelica Cruz
The theft of a valuable Rolex begins a series of burglaries casting a dark shadow on the Christmas season for Folly Beach, the small South Carolina barrier island. The number of suspects drastically increases when a group of performers arrives on Folly. Their leader claims the visit is to bring an upbeat message to the community while performing good deeds, but its arrival at the same time the burglaries begin is too coincidental to be overlooked.
With the police spinning their wheels, it’s up to retired bureaucrat Chris Landrum and Charles Fowler, a self-proclaimed private detective, to wade through potential suspects and catch the thief or thieves.
ADRIFT: A Folly Beach Mystery
There are better ways for retiree Chris Landrum to begin his day than to listen to a traumatized friend Virgil DeBonnet telling him how he found a body with a knife sticking out his back in a small boat less than a half mile from Chris’s cottage. Landrum’s day on Folly Beach turns even darker when Virgil convinces him and his best friend Charles Fowler it was up to them to find the person who ended the man’s life.
The three friends twist, turn, and stumble their way among an increasing number of suspects. The amateur detectives think they have the murder solved until their prime suspect becomes a victim of the knife-wielding killer.
OVERKILL: A Folly Beach Halloween Mystery
Coauthored with Angelica Cruz
With Halloween approaching, Chris Landrum would like nothing more than for his least favorite holiday to skip his adopted hometown of Folly Beach. The hopes of a quiet October drifts away on the tide when Chris’s friend, Charles Fowler, stumbles upon the body of a curiously dressed woman with a hatchet firmly placed in her back.
Along with a former successful stock market analyst and an obnoxious ex-Marine, Chris is dragged into helping Charles search for the killer. A masquerade party brings out a hodgepodge of suspects and potential victims, all hiding behind masks. The amateur detectives must find the killer or killers before the dreaded spooky holiday becomes their last.
