August in Pensacola can be downright hot. Fortunately, there’s a perfect way to spend part of your Saturday in comfort, good company, and suspense.
On Saturday, August 22, 2026, at 2:30 p.m., I’ll be presenting Midday Murder Mystery with Michael Earl Simmons at Bodacious Shops, a special storytelling event featuring one of my Sweet Tea Murders tales.
Here’s what makes this event unique: before settling in for an afternoon of mystery, you can spend the morning exploring one of Pensacola’s favorite traditions.
From 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m., the vibrant Palafox Market will be in full swing just across the street. Browse local vendors, discover fresh foods, unique crafts, artwork, and specialties from across the region. Then, when the August sun reaches its peak, step inside Bodacious, enjoy a light lunch, cool off, and escape into a world of Southern intrigue.
As the story unfolds, you’ll encounter memorable characters, unexpected twists, and enough clues to keep you guessing. If you’ve enjoyed the Sweet Tea Murders series, you’ll feel right at home. If you’re new to my stories, this is a wonderful introduction.
Think of it as the perfect Pensacola Saturday:
- Spend the morning exploring the Palafox Market.
- Enjoy lunch in the cool comfort of Bodacious Shops.
- Settle in for an entertaining afternoon murder mystery.
- Leave with a smile, a few surprises, and perhaps a new suspect in mind.
