Murder au Naturel

by Allen Barlowe

Murder au Naturel by Allen Barlowe

Synopsis (from the publisher): Even without clothes on, nudists have secrets. That's what Lee and Barbara Spinacci discover in Xanadunes, an upscale nudist enclave in central Florida. Their naked neighbors blend into a community where, at first glance, it isn't so easy to distinguish who is a secretary, who is a wealthy executive, who is a fireman or a teacher-and who is a murderer.

At Xanadunes, Lee and Barbara also discover that some of their neighbors are decidedly kinkier than they had originally seemed. It's hard to tell who is dropping by for a friendly cup of tea and who may be looking for a steamier encounter. To complicate matters, someone is behind a rash of wild parties in the community, where the socializing gets a lot hotter and heavier than just sharing a beer and a dance.

When Lee accidentally bumps into a dead body in the hot tub late one Saturday night, all these forces come together, and start him on a quest to find out what's going on around him. Along the way, his libido gets a burst of rejuvenation and tests the strength of his marriage. He develops a newfound interest in sleuthing and encounters a cast of offbeat characters, including a curmudgeonly state police officer and a sexy young female neighbor-who conceal as much as they reveal.
