Washed Up: a Claire Maxwell Mystery (Claire Maxwell Mysteries)

In Lynn Wingert's second novel featuring Claire Maxwell, the writer flies down to Miami Beach to interview a survivor of a vicious shark attack for her next article. And, to be perfectly honest, to get the hell out of Iowa in the middle of March. In her typical, inimitable fashion, no sooner is Claire off the plane than she's caught up in a string of bizarre deaths. So what else is new? The only bright side to the sudden flood of bodies washing up on the white sandy beaches of Florida is Lieutenant Chris Merrett, an old buddy of her brother Jack's from the police academy. As the body count rises, Chris and Claire rush from beautiful beaches to the county morgue to one of the finest houses in the city in an attempt to stop the deaths before Miami Beach is nothing but a ghost town.
