Widow Washout

WIDOW WASHOUT

💍 SIX WEALTHY WIDOWS.
ONE DEAD MILLIONAIRE.
AND A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR WHO MAY BE THEIR NEXT TARGET.

When billionaire developer Thurston Montgomery is found floating dead in Cedar Key Harbor with an unsigned prenuptial agreement clutched in his hand, everyone points to the same suspects—a glamorous group of six wealthy widows known around town as The Six Pack.

They all wanted Montgomery.

They all had motive.

And they all have the exact same alibi.

Florida private investigator Gumbo Malone is hired to prove they didn't do it.

The deeper he digs, the stranger the case becomes.

The Six Pack isn't simply a group of gold-digging socialites chasing rich husbands. Behind the designer clothes, luxury yacht, cocktail parties, and synchronized smiles lies a web of hidden identities, secret investments, suspicious deaths, and a decades-old con game that stretches across multiple states.

Then another body washes ashore.

And another clue points toward Florida's mysterious freshwater cenotes, a billion-dollar resort development, and a killer who has been staying several moves ahead of everyone.

As Gumbo teams up with Ellie Rodriguez, battles increasingly bizarre suspects, dodges poisoned cocktails, infiltrates luxury yachts, deploys a surveillance flamingo, and follows the unlikely clues left behind by Old Scarback the alligator, he discovers that nothing about this investigation is what it first appears.

Because sometimes the people who look like predators…

Are actually the prey.

Filled with outrageous Florida humor, unforgettable characters, laugh-out-loud dialogue, coastal intrigue, mistaken identities, waterfront conspiracies, and nonstop twists, WIDOW WASHOUT is another wildly entertaining Gumbo Malone adventure where murder, romance, insurance fraud, hidden fortunes, and Sunshine State insanity collide.

Perfect for readers who enjoy Florida mysteries, humorous crime fiction, private investigator novels, amateur sleuth adventures, Carl Hiaasen-style humor, coastal mysteries, quirky crime capers, eccentric characters, small-town whodunits, and fast-paced mysteries packed with comedy and suspense.
