Beach Kill — Phyllis Smallman

Beach Kill is the second book in the Singer Brown series.  The first book won a gold medal from the Independent Publishers book awards in 2014.

 

After her life on the streets Singer Brown figures only a dance with an orangutan could still shock her. The music is playing and the waltz begins when the body of a teenage girl is discovered out on Ghost Island.  Singer identifies the remains, attacked first by man and then by nature, from a blue butterfly tattoo. Suspicion, toxic and dangerous, begins to poison the small community of Kilborn, corrupting relationships and leaving no one without fear or guilt.
