No Egrets

Sometimes it takes a village to solve a mystery (or at least the local patrons and owners of No Egrets). One of the regulars, Bobby Portis, has been missing from his barstool at No Egrets for several days. Two others quickly contract mysterious blood diseases. Is there a connection? No Egrets, a quaint bar on Oak Island, North Carolina, is owned by Glenn, a surgeon lured away from the medical field by a swordfish and island life, and his wife Glenda. They join their bar patrons in a search for Bobby and the mystery of the sudden illnesses. "No Egrets: A Glenn and Glenda Oak Island Mystery" has more twists and turns than a small intestine. The crazy characters include Matilda, an ancient barfly who travels the island on a dilapidated Vespa and has a different drink for each day of the week...a psychotic, card-carrying Communist goon named Otto...Richard Crabgrass, a never-say-die bit actor who auditions for every movie and television part in Wilmington...the pungent fish cleaner from the Southport docks, Pinhead Paul...Joshua "Ism" McCarthy, surfer dude rumored to turn into his ancestor, Senator Joe McCarthy if a communist sets foot on Oak Island...and Daniel O'Dwyer, pharmacist hero from "Ripped Tide". Praise for "Ripped Tide" the 2017 McGrath House Indie Award Winner in the Humor Category. "Rx, Drugs and Rock n' Roll...a fun, breezy read." - Christy Perry Tuohey, author of "Panther Mountain: Caroline's Story". "...reminds me of the style of writing of Carl Hiaasen and John D. MacDonald's Travis McGee series." - Janet Matthews, Amazon.com.
