Past and present meet on mysterious Montague Island. In this, the fourth book of the popular Montague Island Mysteries series of logic puzzle books (over 56,000 copies sold), Gordon Montague is working on his memoirs, which are filled with reminiscences (and puzzles) of his younger days, and his earliest experiences on Montague Island. Helping Gordon review the manuscript is Taylor, who by now is a lifelong friend--but then something happens that gives Taylor's presence on the island another urgent purpose. From Taylor's perspective, solvers will study maps and blueprints, attend parties, meet dogs, plan a wedding, and more.

Eliza Fowler Haywood (c. 1693–1756) was a prolific writer, widely connected actress and critical philosopher. Besides her contributions to moral philosophy and economics, she provides noteworthy insights into early eighteenth-century English society. Haywood’s precise critique of a government ignoring the needs of its most vulnerable citizens remains compelling today. Her two-volume utopian work Memoirs of a Certain Island Adjacent to the Kingdom of Utopia (1724) is a mythological re-telling of the many problems facing early eighteenth-century England. In the first volume, Haywood discusses the economic and financial crisis brought about by England’s South Sea Bubble and interweaves it with her philosophical argument of genuine love and the corruption wrought by greed and lust. Also available as paperback: https://www.degruyter.com/document/isbn/9783110764390/html The second volume will be published in 2025.

Learn about Pawleys Island -- its beginnings and its legends -- Georgetown and the Georgetown Mill; Murrells Inlet; Oliver’s; the ubiquitous head boat and Mickey Spillane; Brookgreen Gardens; and O.D. and the Carolina Shag. See all these through the eyes of the Bitter family as they made it their vacation home for years. Meet the indomitable matriarch, Dammo, whose mineral rights to several Kentucky mines suddenly spat out a royalty check for $30,000 for the first time in thirty years. With lots of cash and lots of family, the idea of a multi-generational get-together appealed. Watch family members create entertaining schtick: the invention of the Pawley Dog, Bloody Marys on the porch, burying teens up to their neck in sand, impersonating popular actors, sculpting award-worthy sand castles, foraging at an age-damaged mom and pop grocery, keeping mind-boggling “bed-days” charts, and sailing the Hobie Cat into questionable situations. Share the bittersweet ending of our sojourn the summer before historic Hurricane Hugo wrecked and changed the island. But dwell not on one sad event, because we did it all and then some.
