Welcome to beautiful Sunrise Bay, where the beach is hot and the corpses are cold

When Charlie Carter catches her fiance cheating with her best friend, she swaps power suits for swimsuits and moves to the idyllic seaside town of Sunrise Bay. Maybe a dose of vitamin sea can cure her broken heart.

Beautiful beaches aren't the little town's only attractions. It's also the home of her feisty retired aunt, who soon has Charlie surrounded by new friends and fulfilling a lifelong dream of becoming a photographer. Everything is going swimmingly until Aunt Evie's book club pal Peggy turns up deader than Charlie's engagement.

Aunt Evie is convinced it was murder and will make waves big enough to swamp the whole retirement village unless Charlie does something about it. Charlie's not convinced, but the more she discovers, the more she suspects that Aunt Evie is right-as usual. Now Charlie-with the help of one inquisitive four-legged neighbour-must use her keen photographer's eye to spot the killer ... before they take her out of the picture.
