About this listen
Returning to her sleepy, backwoods hometown in the Everglades was the last thing Vivian Blake ever thought she’d do. So was solving her uncle’s murder.
Recently single, and with no other family to speak of, psych nurse Vivian Blake ditched her carefully calculated urban life for the swampy fishing village of Mangrove Bay, Florida.
Though initially happy to be back at her beloved uncle Don’s place, the nostalgic feeling faded when she realized ex-con Ben was staying in the next room, and her uncle ended up dead.
Convinced that local law enforcement arrested the wrong suspect, Vivian meets up with a trusted set of locals to find her uncle’s killer. A frantic search ensued as she sifted through old relics and clues in unlikely places, from Don’s cluttered garage to the murky depths of the Everglades.
Follow this and Vivian’s next adventures as she untangles murderous puzzles and scandalous secrets, realizing this sleepy small town isn’t as innocent as it seems.
Money, mayhem, murder. Welcome to Mangrove Bay.

Skeletons, ghosts, witches, spiders. And one corpse. A real one.
