Synopsis

From the author of the bestselling Liz Talbot Mystery Series comes a novel about family and secrets, and the lengths we’ll go to in order to protect both. Can this charming do-gooder carry the day? Charleston, SC. Hadley Cooper has a big heart. So when the easygoing private investigator gets a request from a new friend to stake out her husband’s extramarital activities, she immediately begins surveillance. And when her client is discovered dead on her kitchen floor, the Southern spitfire is certain the cheater is the culprit … even though he has the perfect alibi: Hadley herself. Flustered since she observed the cad four hours away in Greenville at the time of the murder, the determined PI desperately searches for clues to tie him to the crime. But when her ex-boyfriend, who happens to be the lead detective on the case, arrests a handy suspect, Hadley fears a guilty man is about to walk free. Can this Palmetto State sleuth make an impossible connection to prevent a miscarriage of justice? With dry wit and delightful dialogue, Susan M. Boyer delivers an eccentric, vegan gumshoe sure to appeal to any fan of Southern women’s fiction. With her merry band of sassy friends, Hadley Cooper is a Lowcountry detective you won’t soon forget. Big Trouble on Sullivan’s Island is the engaging first book in the Carolina Tales series. If you like strong heroines, quirky sisterhoods, and plenty of Southern charm, then you’ll love Susan M. Boyer’s wonderful whodunit. Read Big Trouble on Sullivan’s Island and take a trip to the lush Lowcountry today! Praise for Big Trouble on Sullivan’s Island “Fast paced, whip smart, and satisfying. This irresistible beach read crackles with wit.” —Mary Alice Monroe, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Beach House series “With characters that come to life on the page and a perfectly crafted mystery that keeps them turning, Big Trouble on Sullivan’s Island is an utterly charming, beautifully atmospheric novel that will transport readers right into the Lowcountry. Susan Boyer’s genius lies in her ability to make readers laugh, cry, and gasp—often all in the same chapter! The first book in the new Carolina Tales series, this is a 5-star read that has me counting the days until the next installment! No one is better than Susan Boyer at crafting an unforgettable Southern tale!” —Kristy Woodson Harvey, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Wedding Veil “With a savvy heroine with a rich and interesting past, boisterous humor and colorful characters, Big Trouble on Sullivan’s Island positively drips with southern charm. This is a highly entertaining mystery you won’t want to miss. Hadley is my new favorite private eye!” —Kate Carlisle, New York Times Bestselling Author of the Fixer-Upper and Bibliophile Mysteries “A wholesome, entertaining mystery anchored by a PI with plenty of personality.” —Kirkus Reviews “Susan M. Boyer has outdone herself with her newest book, Big Trouble on Sullivan’s Island. Steeped in Southern charm and comprised of quirky characters and more than a little sass, the novel is a deftly crafted murder mystery that is at times touching and cleverly humorous. A rare gem.”—Karen McQuestion, Bestselling Author of The Moonlight Child “Every word sounds like a molasses-slow coastal Carolina drawl—the real kind, not the cloying, fake TV kind. The characters and the secrets they fight to keep could come from any gathering of women of a certain age in that secret-rich sea island place. The book transported me to languid, sandy days—and made me long to head to the coast.” —Cathy Pickens, author of Carolina True Crime series (History Press) and Blue Ridge Mountain Mysteries (re-released by Joffe Books)
