Death on the Boardwalk
(2021)(The first book in the Myrtle Beach Mystery series)
A novel by Caleb Wygal
A quiet bookstore, a hidden body, and a reluctant sleuth—nothing stays peaceful for long on the Grand Strand.
Bookstore owner Clark Thomas is still grappling with the loss of his wife when a shocking discovery shatters his routine: a friend’s body, hidden behind his shop along the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk. The beloved local businesswoman had plenty of admirers—yet someone wanted her gone.
When a worried coworker asks for Clark's help, he reluctantly steps into the role of investigator. What begins as a simple favor soon pulls him into a tangle of secrets, rivalries, and colorful personalities up and down the boardwalk. Each new lead reveals another layer of the victim’s life—and another possible motive.
As Clark follows the trail, he must balance his growing determination to solve the case with the unresolved grief he carries. Every clue brings him closer to the truth… and closer to facing what he’s been avoiding for far too long.
This is Book One in the Myrtle Beach Mystery Series, where each case stands on its own but rewards readers who keep going with a compelling storyline that you'll want answers to.. Expect short chapters, steady momentum, and a cast of recurring characters that make each book feel like coming back to a place you know—just in time for the next mystery.
Filled with heart, humor, and an amateur sleuth readers will root for, Death on the Boardwalk delivers a mystery full of charm, unexpected twists, and a finale that will leave you eager for the next book in the series.
