His and Herons: A Glenn and Glenda Oak Island Mystery

The quirky local patrons and owners of No Egrets are back, ready to solve another Oak Island mystery or two (or three). The long-awaited fourth book in the humorous Oak Island series!When Glenn buys an antique medicine cabinet and moves it beside the Wurlitzer at No Egrets (much to Glenda’s chagrin), he is surprised when a black notebook falls out from behind the middle drawer. Upon further inspection, he finds a small metal box Velcroed to the side of the drawer. The notebook contains chemical structures and the results from experiments; the box contains trinkets including a gold tooth. The notebook takes Glenn down one path, over fifty years in the past, while the box leads Glenda down another in the present. Both paths lead to murder.Meanwhile, someone is digging holes in the middle of the night all over Southport and Oak Island…The regulars are back for more craziness—Matilda, the ancient Vespa riding barfly; Richard Crabgrass, ham actor extraordinaire; Pinhead Paul, the odiferous fish cleaner from the Southport docks. Pharmacist hero fromRipped TideandMantis Preying, Daniel O’Dwyer also pops in to lend his assistance to his friends. Add two new bartenders, a mysterious old hippie biker, a green anole enamored with a stuffed swordfish, an ugly black pug named Bela…and hit the button on the blender to get “His and Herons: A Glenn and Glenda Oak Island Mystery”.Praise for the Oak Island series: “Carney's books remind me of Jimmy Buffett songs. They're filled with quirky characters, inane circumstances, some stiff drinks, and lots of good hearts that balance out the crap in the world.”—Lisa Shiroff, author ofShow Up Dead.“Funny, quirky, a good and easy read. …Lance Carney is a good writer with a great, deliciously warped sense of humor! There is a lot of Hiaasen in him, and in his characters. And that's a very fun thing!”—Don Rich, author of the Coastal Adventure series.Read more
