About the Book

During a Florida Summer, You'll Do Anything to Fix the AC Keegan Shaw would be an emotional wreck if she wasn't so bummed about her boyfriend. He's just returned to his ex-wife, and Keegan is wallowing in semi-solitary self-pity when she sees a dying young man covered with Christmas cookies in a dinghy at the end of the city dock. Police deem his death a murder, and Keegan's a suspect for having found him. A photojournalist in a former life, Keegan is now both land lady and house mother to an eclectic, eccentric group of five grant-funded, constantly bickering artists who rent rooms in her three-story house. They conspire to solve the dead man's murder for fun and to help clear Keegan--until the house air conditioning unit dies. It's the last straw for the high-strung group, and Keegan's cash flow is doing anything but. To afford the repair and keep the peace, Keegan takes a job she's been avoiding: helping a friend complete a documentary on living locals who were in the area during WWII. She's sure it's a turkey project only a miracle could fix, but her research reveals an astonishing connection between 1943 Seminole Beach and the current murder. As Keegan uncovers rumors of German U-boats, torpedoed sailors, POW camps, escaping German prisoners, spy stations on the coast and smuggling, she tries to figure out what, if anything, the dead kid has to do with it all. With the continued unbidden, intrusive help of her creative housemates--and the interference of motivated locals, high brow and low--Keegan discovers some people aren't who they pretend to be, others are as predictable as a summer thunderstorm, and old sins always speak out.

Review :
"Call me a stickler for mystery stories, but I am and I liked the fact that Sandra Robson's False Impression starts off with a body in a dinghy. Can't ask for more of a mystery than that. "Well, maybe you can. It appears throughout that the murder has to do with Nazi activity off the coast of Florida during WWII and how it affected residents in one small seaside village. But the victim is too young to have been involved. Throw into the stew a wealthy man running for statewide office, brief glimpses of a diary that appear to document locals' entanglement with the Nazis, blackmail, and Robson's book interlocks a lot more than the opening chapter's murder. "Robson's clean, sharp prose keeps the story moving and by the end of the third chapter, I cared about her character, Keegan Shaw. Robson made Shaw smart enough to get involved with solving the murder when she's thrown violently in the middle of its cause, but kept Shaw from appearing as a super hero. "Shaw's array of quirky roommates all come off as authentic. And that also includes the bad guys, the cops and those you have to wonder about as the story unfolds. To Robson's credit, she handles the mix of oddball roomies in Shaw's life without cluttering up the story. Quite the opposite, the roommates move Shaw's investigation along. "False Impression is better than a good read, it's a story that the reader gets involved in. Trying to solve the crime before final pages is a tempting challenge. I hope you have better luck than I did. "Keegan Shaw is a character I hope to see more of." -Michael Haskins, author of the A Mick Murphy Key West Mystery series "False Impression made a great impression! Fun in the Florida sun, and a mystery with a little history. Keegan Shaw is one heroine I hope to see more of!" -Miriam Auerbach, award-winning author of the Dirty Harriet Mysteries "Juxtaposing the U-boats and intrigue of the Florida coastline during World War II with today's arts scene, Sandra Robson has crafted a mystery for both ages." -Sandra Balzo, award-winning author of the Maggy Thorsen Mysteries
