Overview
A quiet bookstore, a hidden body, and a reluctant sleuth-nothing stays peaceful for long on the Grand Strand. Five years after its debut, Death on the Boardwalk returns in a special anniversary edition celebrating the novel that launched the Myrtle Beach Mystery Series. Bookstore owner Clark Thomas is still grappling with the loss of his wife when a shocking discovery shatters his routine: the body of a friend, hidden behind his shop along the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk. The beloved local businesswoman had no shortage of admirers-yet someone wanted her silenced. When a worried coworker asks for Clark's help, he reluctantly steps into the role of investigator. What begins as a simple favor soon pulls him into a web of secrets, rivalries, and unforgettable personalities stretching the length of the boardwalk. Each new clue reveals another layer of the victim's life-and another possible motive. As Clark follows the trail, he must balance his growing determination to uncover the truth with the grief he's been avoiding. Every step brings him closer to the killer-and closer to confronting his own past. This Five-Year Anniversary Edition includes exclusive bonus content for longtime fans and first-time readers alike: an author's note reflecting on the origins of the series, an alternate opening scene from early drafts, and a specially created map of the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk that blends real locations with the fictional world of the novel. Filled with intrigue, humor, and a sleuth readers love to root for, Death on the Boardwalk remains a mystery rich in atmosphere, character, and coastal charm-now presented in a keepsake edition worthy of the story that started it all. Winner of the Pinnacle Book Award for Best Mystery

Reviews
Named as ""The Book to read when visiting Myrtle Beach!"" - Women's World Magazine (06/22) ""This book has it all-Myrtle Beach, mystery, and... murder? A must-read for Myrtle Beach locals and mystery lovers alike! We'll be keeping our eyes out for the next installment!"" - Grand Strand Magazine, August 2021 ""One can almost smell the salt air in the opening pages. This charming read has a protagonist you want to see again, locations you hope to visit, and a conclusion that took me completely by surprise. Sprinkled throughout the pages are incidental bits of goofy good humor and interesting minor characters clearly drawn from the people who populate beach areas. They are familiar, they are funny, and they won't give you nightmares."" - Lisa Brewer, Foothills Digest (Issue XV) ""How delicious. A who-dunnit set on Myrtle Beach, a cozy mystery full of twists that will carry you through the Grand Strand as if you were there on vacation. A true ""beach read"" full of fun."" - C. Hope Clark, author of the award-winning Edisto Island Mysteries. chopeclark.com ""(I) strongly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good mystery in the vein of Agatha Christie or Dorothy Sayers."" - Jessica C. Joiner, author of the Dare & JT Crime Dramas and the Scott McCully Espionage Adventures
