Can't Wait Wednesday/Waiting on Wednesday #337: The Secret of Rosalita Flats by Tim W. Jackson

 


Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly event that had been hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlighted upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. I'm now linking up with "Can't-Wait Wednesday" hosted over at Wishful Endings.

from the publisher: 

Cal’s a hapless watchmaker. Marina’s a beautiful scuba instructor. They were friends as kids. Now, not so much. Together they’ll solve the secret of Rosalita Flats. If the sharks don’t get them first.

The Secret of Rosalita Flats is about a man trying to unload the football-shaped house he inherited, while dodging the backwater Blacktip Island’s quirky collection of con artists, smugglers and other ne’er-do-wells: an ornery housekeeper who refuses to be fired, a rum-soaked attorney with his own agenda, a chair-wielding resort manager who thinks he’s an avenging angel, and a self-styled psychic who may be able to see the future.

There’s also a mysterious someone—or something—trying to scare Cal off the island. Cal has to figure out what his old man was mixed up in, fast, if he’s to sell the house and get off the crazy little rock alive.  

The Secret of Rosalita Flats by Tim W. Jackson is expected to be published September 18th, 2020.

Why am I waiting on this book? I like that one of the reviews I read said it was similar to Carl Hiaasen's writing. It sounds like it will be a slightly weird and funny book. The cast of characters sounds eccentric.

What book are you waiting on this week? Share it or a link in the comments. so we can check it out and maybe add it to our TBR lists. Thanks for coming by and Happy Reading!

  3. How sad is it that you had me at football shaped house? I'm afraid I'm not going to be watching much football this year so I'm taking it any way I can!

    1. Yeah there's definitely going to be some football withdrawal this year. I'm curious why someone would build a house in football shape. I like your picks as well.
