I just finished reading Guava Moon Revenge, an Alex Rutledge Key West mystery by Tom Corcoran. This is the seventh of eight books in the series. I used to be able to get these books from the Denver Public Library, but several years ago they stopped carrying his new novels. Coincidence or not, Corcoran started self-publishing his books, and they are now only available on Amazon, with the possible exception of bookstores in Key West. Since they are only available at full retail, I have put off reading his latest two books until now, flush with cash from stimulus checks. This time, Rutledge, a professional photographer, and his police officer girlfriend Beth, are on vacation in the Caymans when they are called back to Key West. Beth's friend Elaine, who was staying at her home while they were away, has been murdered, and it appears that Beth was the intended victim. This story started slowly, but has an exciting finish. But what I like best is the Key West vibe in each of these stories. I heartily recommend reading the entire series, even if you do have to pay full retail.
