Nancy Nau Sullivan

Blanche Murninghan is up against
land-grabbing goons on Santa Maria Island.
A murder. And a hurricane … How can so
many things go so wrong, so fast?

Launched in 2020, first in the new mystery
series from Light Messages Publishing.
Saving Tuna Street was a finalist for the
Foreword INDIES mystery of 2020.

What could set off Blanche “Bang” Murninghan more than finding a “new” mummy?

The sinister situation worsens when Blanche learns her long-lost relative William McLoughlin—the last owner of the castle—may have met with foul play.

The air is tense. There’s a big blowup. Escape is around the corner. But freedom is as elusive as a dream.

“The heartwarming story of a writer’s discovery that the aging process – and life in general – can be tragic and wondrous, all at once.”

~ Kirkus Reviews
