Dead Center: A Folly Beach Mystery

Folly Beach Mystery #12

by Bill Noel

Chris Landrum’s world is turned upside down when he stumbles on a body of a killer for hire. Chris’s friends on the laid-back, peaceful South Carolina island are convinced they know who the hit man was sent to kill, and ask the retired bureaucrat to stick his nose in business that should be left to the police. If that’s not enough, Chris comes home to an intruder intent on taking his life; his best friend announces he’s moving out of state; and, his long-term girlfriend may be leaving him. Add to the mix, a participant in the witness protection program and a bookstore owner with a mysterious past, and once again, Chris is in the crosshairs of a murderer.

Comfortable read

The Folly stories provide entertainment and great character development so that you feel as though you are part of the story. Makes you want to continue reading the series

Pivotal book in the Folly Beach series. A killing is just one of the stories being covered here. The main character experiences several major upheavals in his personal life, along with being a crime victim time and again. Well crafted.

another good one

I really enjoy these books, love the setting and quirky characters. This was typical in that I couldn’t figure out “who done it” until the end. I should be getting better after so many books but it’s always someone you don’t expect. Read and enjoy.

I think this was Bill's first Folly Beach mystery NOT released in the summer. I bought it in Spet and waited til the summer to read it - my tradition!

Another Good Chuckle

I enjoy Bill Noel’s humor. I always chuckle when I read his books. This one’s best line: “when pup and pupette” - Dude

Fun series with very likeable characters. After reading 2or 3 in the seies the quirky folks feel like friends. These can be stand alone stories too and good for road trips or vacation books.

Love it!!!!!☺

As all of the Folly Beach Mystery series I loved it. Love the characters and their unusual personalities. I get to know them better with each book I read. Always looking forward to the next one. I usually try to make up my own while I am waiting for the next body to be found. All of the followers wish Bill would write non stop, but I guess we like him to much to ask that.
