Woo Burgers in Paradise - A dark-comedy mystery

‘Woo Burgers in Paradise’ is a character-driven dark-comedy mystery about finding love and serial killers in a small but complicated seaside community.

She’s a cop who will shoot you and he’s a veterinarian with a soft heart. She’s tough on crime and he can’t seem to follow the rules. She’s an insider and he’s an outsider. Her friends are normal and the few friends he has are just beyond the fringe or shed twice a year. She’s got a big family and he’s lonely.

Doc and Sergeant Viki are drawn together by a tumor nestled in the brain of her narcotic-sniffing German shepherd.

‘Buskers on the Half Shell’, the second in the Gator-Crossing mystery series, continues Doc’s pursuit of Sergeant Viki. Oscar has been gator-napped and Sergeant Viki doesn’t want to pursue the case, but she’s forced to when it’s her only chance to regain her position as a detective in the Isle-of-Palms Police Department.


A cheerful romp interrupted now and then by sulfurous whiffs of stuff the tide washed in. It’s like a stroll in Mallory Square at sunset in March—exotic, entertaining, and bizarre. The author has molded the Florida Keys’ deeply wacky raw material into a charming cast of eccentric underachievers. – Hal O’Boyle
