Blurb:
A fresh start. A dead body. And an island that clearly missed the memo about “peace and quiet.
”Skye arrives on Seahorse Island hoping for sunshine, second chances, and a little ocean time before starting her new job at the local research center, not a murder scene waiting for her.
But when Luna, her loyal black poodle, leads Skye to the corpse of a local nuisance in a place everyone insists does not exist, her calm coastal reset officially ends.
Curious by nature, Skye notices patterns others miss.
Between caffeine-fueled gossip at the Saltwater Sunrise Café, late-night dancing with her growing circle of friends, and help from a charming boat captain, she begins connecting dots others would rather leave scattered.
Ranger Tom’s career is on the line after the victim accused him of altering island boundaries. The victim also accused Mark, the local research center’s director, of doctoring records.
When threatening texts appear on Skye’s doorstep, uncovering the truth is the only thing keeping her from becoming the next victim.

My Review:
Skye and Luna have relocated to Seahorse Island in search of a new beginning and some enjoyable moments in the sun before she embarks on her new position at the local research center.
They are relishing a sunny day walking along the beach when Luna discovers a deceased body. Skye uncovers clues that many others fail to notice. Skye begins to inquire around the island to uncover what transpired to the unfortunate individual they found on the beach.
The investigation raises numerous questions that most islanders prefer to keep concealed. How far are these individuals prepared to go to protect their secrets? Indeed, if Skye does not uncover the truth soon, she may become the next victim.
Death at the Old Shell Mound kept me captivated as I sought to discover what happened to this unfortunate man and why someone wished to harm him. Additionally, what were they trying to conceal that led to this? What secrets does the island harbor, and why are they being hidden? There are so many questions that keep the narrative flowing quite smoothly.
I eagerly anticipate reading more in this delightful series, the Skye Marina Cozy Mystery. I am excited to see what lies ahead for Skye and Luna in their upcoming adventure.
I strongly recommend acquiring a copy of Death at the Old Shell Mound today!
