While vacationing in Florida, Mr. and Mrs. North investigate a doctor's murder It's morning in Key West, and Pamela North has gone fishing for pelicans. Her husband, Jerry, insists it's impossible to go fishing for birds, but when he finds her later on, she's surrounded by pelicans on all sides. He shouldn't be surprised; Pamela has made a career out of doing the impossible--and she's not finished yet.   A blizzard is battering New York City, but the Norths have come south for sun and sand and a spot of tennis in old Key West. Murder wasn't on their agenda, but Pamela has a way of finding it wherever she goes. She's just gone out for another morning of luring pelicans when she finds a local physician at the end of the pier, a bullet in his chest and his blood all over the dock. The birds will have to wait; the Norths are about to go fishing for a killer.   Murder by the Book is the 26th book in the Mr. and Mrs. North Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.… (more)

Mr. and Mrs. North are on vacation in Key West when Mrs. North finds the body of a former New York deputy medical examiner stabbed to death on a pier. ( )

I always enjoy reading Pam and Jerry North's adventures. Her inquisitiveness always gets her into the thick of it with Jerry bailing her out. Being on vacation doesn't keep them away from getting involved in a mystery. ( )

This is the last of the Pam & Jerry North series (#36, I believe). ( )
