Description
Secrets have a way of unraveling and sometimes the past doesn't stay dead. In this third Sherri Travis mystery, Phyllis Smallman returns to Jacaranda Florida for her best book yet.
John Ray Leenders, the brutal man who tried to rape Sherri Travis when she was thirteen, is back in Jacaranda, living with the single mother of a teenage daughter. Sherri does not want to get involved and tries hard to ignore what she sees happening to Lacey, but it's impossible to look away.
Then Sherri's father, Tully Jenkins, also reappears in her life, dragging Sherri deep into the swamp to exact revenge on the men who set fire to Uncle Ziggy's junk yard.
From a fashion show at the Royal Palms to alligator poaching in the swamp, Sherri struggles to untangle lies, stay alive, keep the Sunset running, and stay one step ahead of disaster.
Advance Praise
Praise for Phyllis Smallman
‘Phyllis Smallman is a gifted writer, and has a strong and captivating protagonist in Sherri Travis..... Her works are attracting a growing legion of admiring fans' The Sherbrooke Record
‘The plot keeps the reader guessing, with plenty of twists and turns, and the setting is well-drawn, taking us from the most sordid depths of Jacaranda to the heights of the well-heeled with equal ease. This is a very impressive, well-written, tightly constructed first novel, and I look forward to the next book in the series.' DorothyL
‘Phyllis Smallman, remember that name' Louise Penny, author of the Inspector Gamache series
‘Murder, a bar, and the beach make for a delicious mix.' The Lethbridge Herald
‘A terrific book, with snappy dialogue and rapid pacing...' Winnipeg Free Press
‘In Sherri Travis, (Smallman) has crafted a spunky sleuth in the grand tradition of the whodunnit's amateur detective. Written in Sherri's breezy, colloquial voice, Margarita Nights offers more depth and darkness than its bright cover might suggest.' McNallyRobinson.ca
‘Characters you'd love to have a drink with and a sense of place that captures the essence of the Sunshine State.' The Hamilton Spectator
‘Travis is a likable, if rather rough, soul who hopefully will appear in another book soon.' Waterloo Record
