Publisher Description

Welcome to Citrus Beach! Where the balmy breezes carry secrets as potent as the tangerine sunsets.

 

Under the ever-watchful eye of the Floridian sun, where retirees come to play bingo and tourists leave with sunburned noses, lies a little mystery that's about to cause a big stir. "Murder for Neptune's Trident" isn't your average beach read—it's the kind of book that sneaks up on you like a seagull eyeing your lunch.

Enter Megan Cassidy, a local businesswoman whose to-do list never included "solve a murder," yet here she is, doing just that. Her weapon of choice? A sharp wit and sharper intuition, both of which come in handy when she's trying to keep her family and friends from turning her investigation into a circus.

Aiden Tory, an FBI consultant with a mind as complex as a hurricane tracking map, becomes Megan's partner in crime-solving. Together, they're digging up clues with the dogged determination of a tourist hunting for seashells.

And speaking of dogs, Barney is the four-legged secret weapon with a bark as revealing as a tell-all autobiography. He might not know much about detective work, but he knows something's up, and his loyalty to Megan is second to none—especially when there are treats involved.

As our unlikely trio peels back layers of this coastal conundrum, they find that the roots of this mystery stretch back decades, entangled in a secret history that could rewrite the town's postcards.

In "Neptune's Trident," the laughs are as abundant as the sunshine, but don't let the breezy humor fool you—there's a serious puzzle at the heart of this beach town. Can Megan and her crew crack the case before the tide washes away the secrets of the past?   Slather on your sunscreen and get ready to crack a smile—and perhaps the case—under the shade of your beach umbrella.

“This was not an enjoyable read for me. I almost quit the book multiple times but pushed through to get the info on who dunnit, and so I could use it for my monthly book bingo card. I ended to skimming A LOT because there was so much information that didn't matter. It was very slow and long, with few interesting moments happening most chapters. The book was written like a research paper or notes for a news report. Very emotionless writing that never improved. You couldn't connect with characters because they all fell flat. It was like reading the Cliff's Notes version of a book. The writing was very strange as well. Who addresses someone by their first name in every sentence? No one does, ever. This just made the book even more difficult to read. It felt overly formal and detached. While the mystery itself wasn't bad, the rest of the book was. Megan was judgy and bossy, and very pious in an uppity way. I hated the religious bits thrown in as well, they had no point at all. The "romance" was out of place and rushed. I could see this being an enjoyable read for an 80 year old white church lady who thrives on judgement and control. For anyone else, this is a hard pass. Also - the updated cover looks like AI and that's just unacceptable. Support authors who get their covers from real artists.”

About Victoria LK Williams

USA Today Best-Selling Author.
Victoria writes what she calls Cozy Mysteries with a Tropical Twist. Her series are set in small South Florida towns, with fun characters and a dog/cat or two. She also has one series that is paranormal cozy and the plans for a second. 

Victoria can often be found writing from her South Florida home, looking into her garden, watching the birds and squirrels fight over their next meal, while she writes. Her two cats, Miss Marple, and Fletch, often join her at the desk and each has their assigned spot. Victoria's not sure they are there to supervise her writing or watch the birds.

Victoria and her husband of 38 years share a love of gardening, and together they have written a gardening handbook for Florida gardeners. The Williams are now empty-nesters, giving Victoria plenty of time to dream up the next story.

Until then, you can read any of her current titles in the Citrus Beach Mystery series, Sister Station series, Storm Voices series, Mrs. Avery's Adventures series, Beach House Mysteries, Tattletale Cafe, and now Professor Higgins Investigates.

Cozy Mysteries with a Tropical Twist!

Hi! I'm Victoria LK Williams and I  write Cozy Mysteries and Cozy Paranormal Mysteries. Citrus Beach Mysteries is my first cozy mystery series of 8 books. Megan and her beagle, Barney, sniff out the clues to catch the crooks in the small beach-town of Citrus Beach. Mrs. Avery's Adventures is the newest cozy series., involving a woman who needs to make a change with her life's direction. But she never expected it to lead to murder. Storm Voices is a paranormal cozy mystery series where the key character can hear the voice of a killer in her head. The Beach House Mystery series is about murder, mermaid legends, and an angry sea witch.

Clean Christian Fiction
The Sister Station Series will bring you along for the ride as Paige and Rebecca Skipton accept their grandmother's challenge to create something wonderful and exciting with their family heritage. Leaving their warm southern home, they move to the northeast and take over the old rail station. Visit the Skipton sisters as they walk into a new life that will test their love of family and faith in God's will.
This series is dear to my heart. My father, grandfather, and uncle were rail-road-man for years.

You can usually find me writing from our south Florida home, looking into the garden, watching the birds and squirrels fight over their next meal. Our two cats, Miss Marple and Fletch, often join me at the desk and each has their assigned spot. I'm not sure they are there to supervise my writing or watch the birds. My husband of 37 years shares a love of gardening, and together we have written a gardening handbook for Florida gardeners. We are now empty-nesters and the house gets quiet, but that gives me plenty of time to dream up the next story. Until then, you can read any of my current titles in the Citrus Beach Mystery series, Sister Station series, Mrs. Avery's Adventures, and Storm Voices series. And watch for the next release in the Beach House Mystery Series.
