1) Paperback Book Death of a Mermaid: A Callie McKinley Outer Banks Mystery by Coastal Carolina Press. The setting in the Outer Banks of North Carolina is a major part of this book -- I´ve never been there, but have seen places along the coast and can use my imagination.

The main character is Callie, restaurant manager at a resort hotel on the Outer Banks. She has changed her name to avoid the press (she was involved in saving a child´s life) and left an unfaithful husband to start over. Margie, who is her best wait person and someone she´s grown to like, disappears one night, leaving a couple of notes behind but no explanation. Has something happened to her? Is she being stalked? Who is she, really? What secret is Margie hiding?

At the same time, one of Callie´s kitchen staff finds a skull on the beach that turns out to be a murder victim´s, who was killed several years ago elsewhere. How did the skull get to the OUter Banks? Is the killer around, and is he someone she knows, someone who might kill again?

This is the kind of book that you look forward to getting back to. And I´m serious, it made me want to move to North Carolina and live on the Outer Banks, hurricanes and all.¤

2) Paperback Book Death of a Mermaid: A Callie McKinley Outer Banks Mystery by Coastal Carolina Press. This was a most enjoyable read. A mystery within a mystery.

Callie McKinley has a mystery in her life she hopes few people will solve. Despite her best efforts, she becomes involved in a murder investigation on the Outer Banks where she is a restaurant manager.

The characters in this book are fairly well developed and they draw you in. You begin to see parallels between the characers as the story progresses. The plot moves at a fairly good pace.

I enjoyed this one so much, I am going to go back and read the first book.¤
