In this third book in the Writer's Retreat Mystery Series set on fictional Gull Island, a sports related death is explored when Trey Alderman, Gull Island's most important claim to sport fame, is murdered. Trey was the starting pitcher for the Gull Island Seagulls who went on to stand out nationally amongst college players while attending The University of South Carolina. It was assumed by most that he would be a top draft pick a year and a half ago and it seemed at the time that the sky was the limit in terms of his career. Trey came home for spring break during his senior year and while on the island he agreed to play in a charity event held in Charleston. The game, which featured other draft hopefuls, was a one run game. It was the bottom of the ninth, tying run on third, bases loaded, two outs, full count, and the tension was high. The pitch was thrown, everyone in the crowd held their breath. Trey lined up with the pitcher and swung the bat with all his might before falling to the ground. He was pronounced dead at the scene. It was later determined that he died of a heart attack. He was twenty-two, healthy, and, as far as anyone knew, he had no preexisting heart condition. It was later determined that he had a drug mixture in his system that could lead to a heart attack when combined with extreme stress. The local investigator determined that he had most likely engaged in recreational drug use at the party he attended the previous evening. Alex Cole, a twenty-eight-year-old, fun and flirty millennial who made his first million writing science fiction when he was just twenty-two decided to write a book about Trey's life and death so he brought the mystery of Trey's death to the Mystery Mastermind group who live and work at the Gull Island Writers Retreat. The eight members of the colony have all agreed to dig into the facts surrounding the death and help Alex find the answers he seeks.… (meer)

Once again a group of writers who have become as close as family band together to solve a mystery. This is a cold case, but no one is sure if it was murder or the consequences of poor decisions.
A local celebrity ball player who was up for real fame in the major leagues died during a televised game. There are many witnesses and more than enough suspects who had reason to want Trey out of the way.
We also are updated on the renovations to the resort. A discovery in a wall of a cabin being prepared for upgrades hints at another mystery to be investigated. This is keeping everyone extra busy during the week leading up to Thanksgiving yet several find time for thoughts of romance.

This is a well rounded visit to Gull Island and characters who easily become reader favorites.
While Blackbeard seems uncharacteristically quite this time, he adds to the conversation when he has important information to share, as do Agatha and Morty.
This book has a slower, less intense, pace than previous books in the series but comes to a satisfactory conclusion while setting up expectations of a more sinister case to come. ( )
