Synopsis

Life in Paradise isn't what it's cracked up to be. Cara Mia Delgatto feels like she is drowning in problems!

Stuart, Florida. Her ex-husband is refusing to pay their son's college tuition (as promised), her sister is pulling mean pranks, and her old boyfriend has broken her heart . . . again. And that's just the personal stuff.

She's also concerned about keeping the cash register ringing at the Treasure Chest, her store specializing in upcycled, recycled, and repurposed goods.

An important media event goes sadly wrong and Cara's famous temper gets the better of her. Then a prying reporter turns up dead, practically in Cara's backyard. Could the reporter's murder have anything to do with a century's old blot on Florida state history, the infamous Dozier Boys School? Suddenly, Cara's personal problems seem trivial compared to the abuse and murder of hundreds of innocent boys.

A wonderful cozy mystery set in Florida at The Treasure Chest store. The characters are well fleshed out and I saw all sides of their personalities. From quirky to compassionate, they had a musketeer quality of a "one for all" attitude. Cara Mia soon became my favorite. Struggling to come to grips w......more
