Mystery at Flamingo Bay - (The Tin Can) by Deborah Erdmann (Paperback)

About the Book

What do you get when three teens travel to Florida on spring break with their grandparents (a hippy and a cheesehead)? Not the beach scene that they imagined. Instead they land in the middle of a scam mystery at an old folks home.

Book Synopsis

Hold on to your walkers and get ready for a wild ride!

When three teenage detectives take an RV road trip with their grandparents to investigate a theft report at Flamingo Bay, a retirement home in sunny Florida, they're certain they'll find signs of fowl play.

The mystery deepens when Dominic, Forest and Sailor stumble upon a scam involving a spirit phone that allows the elderly to communicate with their dead relatives. As the investigation heats up, so do the hot flashes.

Armed with nothing but a flashlight, a lockpick, and a seemingly endless supply of snacks, the trio sets out on a hilarious and sometimes perilous adventure both at the retirement community and at the campground in the alligator-infested backwoods of Florida, where the gun-slinging, rough-around-the-edges campground owner seems to have his own agenda.

Put on your sensible shoes and take a leap into a laugh-out-loud mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end!

Review Quotes

This book is the first in a new series that takes the familiar characters of the Mystery at Point Beach series into new adventures. There are some really hilarious circumstances as the characters load up into an RV and embark on a family vacation. The destination is a Florida beach, but of course they don't end up exactly where they intended. Instead, they stumble upon a scam at the retirement community where Windsong's mother lives. Elements of history combined with the paranormal are fun and the mystery is very clever. Well done! Beth Lauderdale (Author)

I have thoroughly enjoyed the Mystery at Point Beach series by this author and was sad to see the series end. But wait! Thankfully, there's more! Deborah Erdmann has brought the characters I love back with her new Tin Can series. Like Mystery at Point Beach, the Tin Can series is both witty and suspenseful, a real delight to read!
