Publisher Description
Kip O'Connor lives a simple life in the little seaside town of Pearl Bay. Unless it's tourist season, things tend to be pretty peaceful. There is, however, one never ending source of irritation in the form of Police Chief Merrick Dawson.
Merrick is Kip's older brother's BFF, and nothing seems to bring Merrick more joy than nagging Kip about silly things. You'd think a Police Chief would have more important things to do than lecture Kip on parking tickets and picking up pet waste, but somehow Merrick always finds the time.
When Kip decides to take an art class at the local community college, he's annoyed to find Merrick has also enrolled in the course. The instructor takes a shine to Kip, and soon they become friends outside of class. Merrick warns Kip of the dangers of blurring those lines and befriending his teacher, but Kip is flattered by the attention.
When his art teacher is found stabbed through the forehead with a palette knife, Kip is determined to figure out who killed his new friend. Merrick naturally thinks Kip getting involved in the investigation is a horrible idea, but when has Kip ever listened to that irksome, pig-headed Merrick Dawson?

Without a drop of common sense
IThe plot is not original and the main character is so clueless about his own life that it’s impossible to believe he actually made it to his late twenties, let alone that he could manage his own business without a drop of common sense. As a rule I don’t like to give negative reviews, but this story is worthy of an exception to that rule.
