Caterer River Holloway cooks like a dream and is known on Shell Island as a “finder” of things. Which is why a desperate mother begs River to track down her grown son, Chili Bolz, who’s vanished.

Deputy Lance Hamlyn can’t find the missing man, so he teams up with River. The missing person case boils over into something frightening when Chili’s mother falls victim to a brutal assault. Worse, her dying words incriminate River’s friends in both kidnapping and, now, murder. River soon finds herself caught in an unsavory recipe for disaster.

Despite catering events and the return of her absentee boyfriend, River finds the number of suspects growing longer than her food shopping list. Along the way she befriends a black cat who becomes her crime-solving partner. River must locate Chili and discover who killed his mother before her own goose is quite literally cooked.
 Maggie Toussaint serves up a fun and captivating read in Seas the Day, the first in her Seafood Capers series.

About the Guest Post




Gone Fishing

By Maggie Toussaint

Back in the day, we kids had a “Seas the Day” mentality about fishing. It involved a bamboo pole rigged with bait, fishing line, a hook, and a sinker. Carrying along a bucket and a dip net were essential too.

At the shrimp dock, we’d catch toadfish or blowfish. Those were immediate catch-and-release kind of fish, as were stingrays, and sharks of any size (none of those are good eating). So we liked to fish in the small flat-bottomed boats that someone in the family always had.

It took a lot of rowing to get to our favored fishing hole, but my friends and I didn’t mind because we were doing what we loved.

By the same token, my amateur sleuth, River Holloway, loves catering as much as we love angling for fish. She’s great at cooking but she has a superpower known only to family and close friends. 

She can find anything. In Seas The Day, she’s asked to find her missing childhood friend, Chili Bolz. Truthfully, it freaks her out to have such responsibility thrust on her shoulders. While my childhood friends hoped to land a fish on our lines, River fishes for clues to her friend’s whereabouts.

Danger lurks on Shell Island, and now it’s circling River in an ever-tightening spiral.
