Bill Noels debut novel, Folly

introduced Chris Landrum and his adventures on the small, quirky island of Folly Beach, South Carolina, where he spent an extended vacation, purchased a retirement home, and solved a murder. In this second installment of A Folly Beach Mystery series, murder and mayhem continue to interfere with Chriss laid-back retirement plans.

Louisville author Bill Noel, himself a seasoned photographer, has followed his debut offering, Folly, with another engaging Folly Beach Mystery. Armed with a gift for creating ultra-quirky yet believable characters, Noel shows how a healthy dose of cynicism— even among untrained, nonprofessional types— can lead to solving a murder mystery that the police had initially decided wasn't even a homicide.

Spend a little time at the Lost Dog Café (Coffee and a bite) with Landrum and his troupe of amateur sleuths, and I bet you'll be glad you made the trip.
