Elaine Viets wrote one of my favorite cozy mystery series of all time so you know I am excited for her latest series! Norah McCarthy is definitely a worthy narrator and I am excited for more in this series. The setting is great and it reads just like a classic Elaine Viets cozy mystery! You won't be disappointed!
If you drive past the Florodora on South Ocean Drive, you'll see the old white apartment building looks much the same as it did during the roaring Twenties. It's shaded by palm trees and surrounded by a coral rock wall with purple bougainville spilling over the top. The Florodora is set back from the sidewalk by a courtyard cooled with a jungle of tropical plants.
The courtyard's centerpiece is a swimming pool with a flirty Twenties' bathing beauty in mosaic on the bottom. Most days you'll find the apartment's carefully curated collection of misfits sunning themselves by the pool.
