Cape May Beach Bums
When the Luminous Festival transforms Cape May into a glittering wonderland of light and art, the whole town gets swept up in the magic and the mayhem.
Margaret and Dave volunteer to monitor a mesmerizing light sculpture on the shore—and witness something in the water they weren't prepared for.
Liz runs into an old college friend who's coordinating the festival and agrees to help out. "A few hours" quickly spirals into far more than she ever imagined.
Sarah organizes an evening book event in a stunning local garden. When the garden's owner starts taking over, Sarah wonders who's really running the show.
Donna and Dale discover the thrill of fossil hunting, where ancient shark teeth hide among the sand. But not everyone plays fair.
A chance encounter leads Judy and Bob to a hidden passage beneath a Victorian home, and into secrets that have been buried for a century.
As Lisa settles into Nick's bay house, clammers in the shallows spark a new curiosity, though the bay doesn't give up its treasures easily.
From dazzling displays to underground secrets, this Cape May summer promises wonder at every turn.
This is Book 19 in the Cape May Series. It's recommended to start with Book 1, The Cape May Garden.

Awesome book 19 of the series, which I have thoroughly enjoyed. This book is different, we meet our lead characters, but they are each doing their own things, there are no groups getting together or meals or drama among them. I liked it a lot.
Margaret and Dave volunteer the light sculptures on the beach; Liz meets and old college friend who enlists her help and decorators eye with the light sculptures at the beach festival; Sarah organizes an evening book event in a garden of a private home; Donna and Dale learn the thrill of beach fossil hunting from local hunters; Judy and Bob after a chance encounter end up researching hidden tunnels made during prohibition; Lisa and Nick are intrigued by learning to be clammers.
I loved the book!
