Moon Water Madness is the seventh in the Luanne Fogarty series of spine-tingling swamp noir mysteries set in the springs and underwater caves of northern Florida. Luanne, a linguistics professor, serves as adjunct scuba diver for the sheriff’s department.
Luanne finds herself in over her head when a tough, lonely little girl asks for help. According to legend, Oscar Moon walked into a sinkhole in 1959 and hasn’t been seen since. Luanne uncovers more than she expects on an isolated island teeming with snakes, secrets, Spanish moss, and murder.
 

“Glynn Marsh Alam presents a side of Florida few tourists see: a dark place where everyone has secrets. The physical picture she paints is so realistic, readers’ hair will frizz up or go limp in the humidity, and they’ll get a creepy-crawly feeling from her description of the creatures that inhabit the area. Luanne Fogarty is a great heroine… gutsy with a soft side… and the secondary characters most intriguing. I particularly liked Pasquin, Luanne’s neighbor, who wants her to hurry up and marry Vernon, her current love interest and fellow diver.”
— Diana Vickery, Mystery Scene
 

“Inventive, stylish…manages to bring to life yet another part of Florida’s seemingly endless killing grounds: the deep and cold freshwater springs of the northern part of the state…”
— Dick Adler, The Chicago Tribune

 "Alam's novels are thoroughly enjoyable.  They offer, in addition to a good read, a fascinating look at the swampland of northern Florida and the world of diving in mysterious rivers and bottomless caves."
—    Lauren Haney, author of the Lieutenant Bak ancient Egyptian mysteries
