Catfishing in America

Catfishing in America is the 8th installment of the Camilla Randall Mysteries - a laugh-out-loud mash-up of mystery, rom-com, and satire.

 

At her beach-read bookstore in Morro Bay, California, everybody tells Camilla their troubles. When the body of talkative widow Ginny Gilhooly shows up on Camilla's doorstep, Camilla is sure the online scammer who has been "catfishing" Ginny has murdered her.

 

Then former boyfriend Peter Sherwood appears at Camilla's door after three years, carrying a large fish, and things take a turn for the strange. 

 

Ginny's body disappears, along with Peter. The body reappears in a homeless camp, and Camilla's unhoused friend "Hobo Joe"- who has his own dark secrets - is accused of killing Ginny.

 

Camilla, with the help of two precocious Nancy Drew wannabes and her cat Buckingham, has to solve the mystery of the travelling corpse and prove Joe had nothing to do with Ginny's demise.
