Scuba instructor-witch Netta’s business booms. Her inn’s full of tourists, her dive shack’s busy, and her beloved Siren Island enchants as much as ever. Bestie Justine puts her new magical abilities to good use, raising funds for local charities by telling tourists’ fortunes. Familiar Sargasso and snotty student Caspia learn to coexist. Eccentric elder Maven Spice trains 6-year-old Ayla to communicate with plants. Everything’s going great. So why is Netta so miserable? The day she decides to ask beau Danny for a relationship break, another dead body appears. But Netta can’t let affairs of the heart interfere with an investigation. So she and Danny hunker down to solve the murder side by side. Absolutely awkward. They look into a light-fingered landlady, a feisty first-mate, a righteous reverend and a dangerous debtor, wading through loads of bad leads on their trek toward the truth. Meanwhile, Netta tracks the “watcher” she spied during night dives to the Sugar Cove and discovers teams of divers planting fake treasure in the shipwrecks. But why? As the pressure mounts, Netta gets squeezed on all sides. Can she keep a cool head and close this confusing case, or will her heart break into bits beforehand? Find out in this delightful cozy mystery!
