Model Wave: Romance, boats, and funny business in the Wisconsin Northwoods (The Backyard Model Mysteries Book 2)

In Model Wave, Mel Tower travels Up North for a vacation and a date with a handsome sheriff. When a boat owner is found dead on "No Bullship," his new pontoon, Mel's plans for relaxation and romance are sunk faster than a popped beach ball. In this small-town summer mystery, Mel acts as an amateur sleuth because she fears a friend is being set up for the murder. Meanwhile, the Northwoods is hosting “The Deliveree,” a summer competition for delivery drivers, knights of the road. Mel attends oddball games such as boxing (with actual boxes) and skiing on cardboard skis while pursuing the killer. Mel discovers the victim’s ex-wife had no alibi—even though the name of her pontoon is My Alibi! This is the book for readers who enjoy summer beach reads, funny cozy mysteries, and quirky characters. They're Midwest fun and intrigue served with a brandy old-fashioned and a side of cheese curds. Mysteries similar to The Backyard Model Mysteries are Jeff Nania's Spider Lake Mysteries and Annelise Ryan's Monster Hunter series. These stories are comic cozy mysteries with no foul language, sex, or graphic violence.
