Beach Mysteries
Beach Mysteries Anthology
What is a beach mystery? Is it a mermaid washing up on shore? A beach cottage with a spirit? A murder on the boardwalk? A painting with a past? Beach Mysteries includes mysteries of many kinds. You’ll meet hit men, ghosts, and crime solvers. Find long-lost treasure, encounter figures from the past, and watch tourists in distress. This anthology, the eighth in the Rehoboth Beach Reads series, contains twenty-two short stories, all set in and around Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
