Murder In The Mangroves (Clementine Carter Mysteries, #2)

It's the perfect coastal town to start over.
And the perfect place to commit murder...
Former divorce lawyer Clementine Carter's life in Whale Bay is close to perfect. She'd never admit it, of course, because that would invite disaster and she's got big plans for her new-age store as well as her romance with local barista Finn Marello.
Disaster still finds her anyway, in the form of Finn's not-quite-ex-wife, who comes to town to conduct an environmental assessment. Only something smells off about the whole process to Clem and her friends—and it turns out to be the dead body Clem discovers floating in the mangroves.
With Finn under suspicion for his wife's death and Clem needing answers, she sets out to investigate the proposed development of the protected mangroves area.
But Clem has secrets of her own, and when the reason she left Whale Bay twenty-five years ago arrives in town in the middle of a murder investigation, Clem might need an alibi or two of her own.
Can Clem solve the mystery before the killer—or her past—catches up with her?
Murder in the Mangroves is the second book in the Whale Bay Mysteries – a romantic and cosy whodunnit series with a touch of tarot and astrology ...

Joanne Tracey lives on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia with her husband, daughter and a cocker spaniel who takes her role as resident flop-dog and guardian of Jo's office very seriously. She has, however, been known to sleep a tad too much on the job – the dog, that is, not Jo. An unapologetic daydreamer, eternal optimist, and confirmed morning person, Jo writes contemporary romance, romantic comedy, women's fiction and what she likes to call foodie-lit – which is the perfect excuse to indulge her baking habit in the name of research. When she isn't writing or day jobbing, Jo loves baking, reading, long walks along the beach, posting way too many photos of sunrises on Instagram and dreaming of the next destination and the next story.
