Bag om The Last of the Real McCoy
When real estate tycooness Pepper McCoy is found murdered in her opulent home in the small town of Maybelline, Florida, the rollcall of suspects reads like the toppings list in a pizzeria. Pepper was feared more than she was respected, and any number of people had reason to kill her.
Seanna Flynn is the head of the multi-cultural, multi-racial, mostly aggravating Flynn clan who have controlled the politics and the economy of Maybelline since before the Civil War, when Maybelline Hancock Flynn opened the "Finest whorehouse east of New Orleans."
Seanna's "cousin," Sheriff's Captain Elroy Flynn, is in charge of the murder investigation, and Seanna cannot keep her pretty nose out of his business. Her curiosity uncovers more mysteries than just the murder and results in Seanna becoming the target of the killer. Is the adventuress who inherited Pepper's estate the late realtor's love child? If so, who is the father? Who committed a decades-old murder that set Pepper on her way to riches?
Handsome Irish hunk Drieu O'Bannon sees Seanna as a target of another sort. The Hibernian charmer is determined to win her love while trying to keep her safe from the clutches of a killer.
The Last of the Real McCoy is a fast-paced, sexy, and often funny mystery. A perfect read for a rainy night in the sultry tropics...or a snowy night in the frozen north. Wherever you are, the story immerses the reader in a steamy southern stew of offbeat characters and more plot twists than the roots of a gulf coast banyan tree.
