| My Photo of the Morris Island Lighthouse |
I just read a book that has all the elements that I find fascinating. First let me tell you I am a photographer whose favorite subject is lighthouses. I also enjoy mysteries. This book has all of those things along with a cast of quirky characters that make the book a real page turner.
Summary of Book
I started reading this book and I was hooked on the very first pages when a photographer sets off to take a photo of the sun rising over a lighthouse. It just so happens that this lighthouse is the Morris Island Lighthouse, a lighthouse that I too have photographed. As he is walking down the path to the shore I can vividly remember myself walking down that same path. Needless to say my interest was captured right from the beginning.
In this delightful first book of the Folly Beach Mystery Series Chris is taking a month long vacation in Folly Beach South Carolina, a beach town near Charleston. While Chris is on his first outing to photograph the lighthouse he hears shots fired and discovers a dead body. The rest of the book is filled with Chris meeting the residents of the small town and discovering some delightful characters along the way.
When Chris's first rental house is burned he begins to suspect that someone thinks he saw something at the murder site. Chris does not know what it could be but he becomes determined in discovering who the killer is and why they are targeting him.
Along the way Chris meets a reporter who shows him the sights in Charleston and a love interest develops. He also meets a quirky character, Charles who calls him "Mr. Photo Man".
The book has lots of interesting people and wonderful descriptions of both Folly Beach and Charleston. If you haven't been there they will make you want to go and if like me you've been to both places they make you long to go back.
The Book on Amazon
Here is a link to the book on Amazon. I highly recommend it for a relaxing and fun read. As soon as I finished I went and bought book 2 in the series and I can't wait to get started.
