Deadly Wipeout
Aloha Lagoon Mysteries #3
Beth Prentice
Reviewed by Helen
Beth Prentice writes such great cozy mysteries and there is a new one coming out very soon in this series so I wanted to read one that has been languishing on my TBR pile for a while and I was not sorry, I loved it there were laughs and a good mystery or two to solve and of course a romance, this one is a page turner.
Samantha Reynolds has moved from Sydney Australia to be with her mother Rita and twin brother Luke in Hawaii, they live in the resort town of Aloha Lagoon, this should be fun but Sam is broke and needs a job and fast, so she applies for the surfing instructor’s job she may not be fully qualified but she is confident and the resort is pretty desperate, but on her first day things go pear shaped and fast when a dead body knocks her over in the surf.
This turns even worse when there is another dead body and two inheritances to her mother and brother lead them to be murder suspects and Sam is more than determined to prove them innocent and she will do anything to prove it. There is also the cute and gorgeous bar tender Casey who Sam is fast falling for and as Sam investigates and Casey is there to offer assistance things get more dangerous by the day, Sam has a real knack for being a bit of a klutz and finds it easy to get herself into trouble.
This is a story that I would highly recommend, unravelling the mystery is not always easy for Sam but her strength and her no give up attitude is fabulous there really are so many laughs along the way and she and Casey are finding it easy to be together. I loved the setting and the characters Beth Prentice has bought them to life and made them very easy to make friends with, now off to start the new one.
My thanks to the author for digital copy.
