'Plenty of secrets, long-simmering feuds, and greedy ventures make for a captivating read.Boyer's chick lit PI debut charmingly showcases South Carolina island culture.' - Library Journal 'Imaginative, empathetic, genuine, and fun, Lowcountry Boil is a lowcountry delight.' - Carolyn Hart, Author of What the Cat Saw (October 2013) 'I love this book. When more folks start turning up dead in this small seaside town, Liz must use more than just her wits and charm to keep her family safe, chase down clues from the hereafter, and catch a psychopath before he catches her. Then her long-dead best friend pops in and things really get complicated. She's fit to be tied when her police-chief brother shuts her out of the investigation, so she opens her own. When her grandmother is murdered, Liz high-tails it back to her South Carolina island home to find the killer.

She carries her Sig 9 in her Kate Spade handbag, and her golden retriever, Rhett, rides shotgun in her hybrid Escape. Private Investigator Liz Talbot is a modern Southern belle: she blesses hearts and takes names.
