Jolie Gentil and friends are putting the finishing touches on the Talk like a Pirate Day fundraiser for the food pantry. They're also trying to figure out who's breaking into some of the houses Jolie appraises. When she realizes a new face in town is leading high school kids into trouble in those houses, Jolie's mad - and lets him know it.

When Hayden offers to help her mind her own business, a lot of people at the fundraiser hear her protest. Meanwhile, a hurricane's on the way to disrupt Talk like a Pirate Day. When a corpse turns up under the pirate ship the next day, Jolie looks like a suspect. Soon, she's getting less work. Who wants a murder suspect appraising their house?

Scoobie's pirate limericks can't solve a crime. So, Jolie and her sometimes-buddy local reporter George Winters, look for the murderer and the person trying to frame Jolie. They need to stay ahead of whoever forces Jolie's car into a ditch and off the radar of the local police who tell Jolie - for the 100th time - to butt out.

All this, and Jolie has to deal with Aunt Madge's blossoming love life. And, what about her own? For a cozy mystery with a dose of humor and a touch of romance, join Jolie and friends in Ocean Alley.
