When Mollie McGhie agreed to help out at a charity event, she thought her biggest worry would be having to wear a ridiculous pirate costume.

But when she finds a mysterious envelope addressed to her, she realizes that she has a bigger problem to deal with-figuring out what the clues inside mean and clearing an elderly woman's name.

Will Mollie be able to solve the mystery and find the hidden treasure before someone else does?

Buried by the Beach is a standalone short story in the Mollie McGhie Cozy Sailing Mystery series. If you like quirky characters, adorable cats, and loads of chocolate, you'll love this cozy mystery.

Note: An earlier version of this short story was originally published in the cozy mystery anthology, Mystery Follows Her. This edition has been expanded to include an epilogue and bonus material.
