Jolie Gentil and friends are busy putting the finishing touches on the 'Talk Like a Pirate Day' fundraiser for the food pantry and trying to figure out who's breaking into some of the houses Jolie appraises. When Jolie realizes a new face in town is leading high school kids into trouble in those houses, she's mad and lets him know it. But Hayden offers to help her mind her own business, and a lot of people at the fundraiser hear her give him what for. A hurricane's on the way to disrupt the fundraiser, and when a corpse turn up under the pirate ship the next day, Jolie's looking like a suspect. Scoobie's pirate limericks can't solve a crime, so Jolie and her sometimes buddy local reporter George Winters look for the murderer and try to figure out who's trying to frame Jolie. They need to stay ahead of whoever's mad at her and off the radar of the local police who tell Jolie -- for the hundredth time -- to butt out. For a cozy mystery with a dose of humor and a touch of romance, join Jolie and friends in Ocean Alley.
September 19th is the annual Talk Like a Pirate Day -- check to see if your local community has a fun event to celebrate. If you can't find one (and even if you can!) join the celebration in Ocean Alley.
