Boomer Bust

Boomer Bust: A Weird and Wild Florida Mystery with More Twists Than a Lazy River!

Gumbo Malone thought he'd seen it all in Cedar Key, Florida. But when Maude Tippleton, a woman whose fashion sense screams "retirement community rebel," storms into The Rusty Pelican with a tale of foul play, Gumbo's pulled into a mystery more bizarre than a flamingo in a snowstorm.

Someone is bumping off wealthy widows in retirement communities, and the only clue is a suspiciously charming social director with teeth so white they could signal passing ships. As Gumbo and his partner Ellie navigate a world of early bird specials, Zumba classes, and fiercely competitive bingo, they uncover a scheme involving stolen fortunes, experimental drugs, and a conspiracy that reaches deeper than the Florida aquifer.

Get ready for:

  • A cast of unforgettable characters, including the "Hot Flashes," a group of senior citizen vigilantes with their own brand of justice. 

  • A plot that combines the quirkiness of Florida with the thrills of a classic whodunit. 

  • More laugh-out-loud moments than a retirement community talent show. 

  • A healthy dose of Florida weirdness, including a legendary alligator named Old Scarback and a parrot with a knack for detective work. 

If you love Carl Hiaasen, Christopher Moore, or Janet Evanovich, and you're looking for a hilarious mystery with a side of key lime pie, "Boomer Bust" is your next great read!
