In the Market for Murder — Jennifer Lonoff Schiff

When reporter Guinivere Jones went looking for a cozy little beach cottage on Sanibel Island, Florida, a dead body was definitely NOT on her must-have list.

It's been over a year since her divorce and Guin has found true happiness on Sanibel, the seashell capital of the United States. She has a great job, working as a reporter for the local paper; a great beau, a marine biologist who was once voted one of the sexiest men in Southwest Florida; and good friends. Now all she wants is a little place near the beach. Is that so much to ask for?

However, finding the perfect beach house has proven to be a much bigger challenge than Guin had expected. And now she has to find a killer, too.

The third book in the Sanibel Island Mystery series, In the Market for Murder once again features intrepid reporter Guinivere Jones, her sometime nemesis, Det. William ""Bill"" O'Loughlin, her best friend, Shelly, and her two mostly loyal feline companions, Flora and Fauna, along with a host of other memorable characters and places.
