This is the 4th book in the Murder by the Sea series by Carol Ann Ross. She's on the run! Estelle has reinvented herself yet again and has brought along a new friend. She seems to make friends easily, but they don't last very long. What a bad mermaid!!
CAROL ANN ROSS is the author of the Murder by the Sea series, The Topsail Island Trilogy, and The Blue House Series. Having spent her childhood climbing sand dunes, doing the beach thing, and deep-sea fishing, Carol incorporates those experiences in the works she pens. Her novels are full of intrigue, romance, and incidious intent, all set in picturesque south eastern North Carolina. She is a graduate of UNC-A and Spring Hill College in Alabama.
Just how do you decorate a fictional shop, or house, or anything for that matter? Research, lots of it and personal preference. My memory helped me here. Long ago I used to go to a bar with my parents that looked very similar to the one in "Mermaid." As an author, I get to make that magical place come alive again. Yippee!
Book Excerpt
The Mermaid Did It
Carrie decorated the fish market with glass buoys, crab pots and clam rakes. Nets hung from the walls holding assorted seashells, sand dollars and starfish. A wonderful painting of the bumblebee tower surrounded by sand dunes adorned one wall. A mural of a mermaid sitting on a jetty casting a net into the ocean was on another.
