Her Missing Husband: A Mysterious Disappearance, Clues & Gossip, A Southern Cozy Mystery Novella
About this ebook
In the sunny, tropical seaside town of Sandpiper Cove, the Tattle-Tale Café is more than just a coffee shop—it’s the center of the community. With its breezy patio overlooking the ocean, the scent of Leigh-Ann Garrett’s freshly brewed coffee wafting through the air, and a constant hum of chatter from the regulars, it’s where locals gather to catch up on gossip and lend a hand when someone’s in trouble.
Trouble arrives in the form of Katie Fox, whose perfect life is upended when her husband, Keith, vanishes without a trace. From the outside, Katie and Keith seemed like the ideal couple, but as whispers spread through Sandpiper Cove, it becomes clear that not everything was as picture-perfect as it seemed. Why did Keith leave without a word? And why does Katie seem to be hiding something?
Leigh-Ann, the café’s sharp-eyed owner, can’t resist a good mystery—especially when it threatens the harmony of her beloved town. With the help of her favorite regulars, the quick-witted Nora and ever-curious Liz, Leigh-Ann dives into the case. But solving the mystery of Keith’s disappearance isn’t easy. From the sandy beaches to the shady mangroves, the trio uncovers secrets that could devastate not just the Fox family, but the entire community.
Balancing café life, nosy neighbors, and a mystery that grows more tangled by the day, Leigh-Ann and her friends must piece together the truth before Sandpiper Cove’s picture-perfect charm is shattered for good.
So grab a seat at the Tattle-Tale Café, feel the sea breeze on your face, and enjoy a cup of coffee with a side of mystery—because in this tropical paradise, the gossip is hot, and the secrets are even hotter!
About the author
Victoria writes what she calls Cozy Mysteries with a Tropical Twist. Her series are set in small South Florida towns, with fun characters and a dog/cat or two. She also has one series that is paranormal cozy and the plans for a second.
Victoria can often be found writing from her South Florida home, looking into her garden, watching the birds and squirrels fight over their next meal, while she writes. Her two cats, Miss Marple, and Fletch, often join her at the desk and each has their assigned spot. Victoria's not sure they are there to supervise her writing or watch the birds.
Victoria and her husband of 36 years share a love of gardening, and together they have written a gardening handbook for Florida gardeners. The Williams are now empty-nesters, giving Victoria plenty of time to dream up the next story.
