Pu’ka and the Pirates by M. L. Scholl

9/17/2023

Multi-volume, multi-genre, multi-series author, M. L. Scholl introduces us to the fourth volume in the Nature Coast Calamities, “Pu’ka and the Pirates”:

Bernie moved to the Nature Coast to be near family and to fish. The Irish roots of Citrus County welcomed him. So did the Gaelic Folklore which is so important to the Irish. Mostly, he just blinks and carries on, but when bodies turn up he has to get involved. Will he figure out if Pu'ka did it? (Who the heck is Pu'ka?) Will he have to protect his family? Did the Pirates get their just desserts?

I enjoy cozy murders quite a bit. I don't need a lot of blood and gore to be entertained. I have read quite a few of the author’s books and have always enjoyed the reading.

Old pirates never die they just steal away to make room for new pirates. There will always be pirates, too. I love the combination of old Irish mythologies combined with the modern-day scourge of piracy. I hope that Pu'ka and Bernie meet up again.
