Beachcomber

By Karen Robards

Christy Petrino is sick of the mob. Her dad was a minor mobster who was murdered by the mob. So when Christy discovers her fiancé is "connected" she runs away to Oracoke Island with her cat, Marvin. But she gets roped into running an "errand" for the mob and in the process trips over a body on the beach and comes under FBI surveillance.

In some ways, I think this novel was intended to be a lighthearted romp, but it never quite pulls it off. Some of the scenes were just too contrived. An OK read.
