Rambling RV Cozy Mysteries #8
Foul Play in Florida
Sometimes a lovely vacation…
Can put you in deep water.
RV traveler and amateur sleuth, Tulia Blake, decided to treat herself to a stay at an expensive resort in Florida, one that offers all the amenities, including scuba diving and kayaking down a river with manatees.
She offers to fly her friend Angela out so they can enjoy the little slice of paradise together… and so that she won’t have to be alone if her stalker comes calling.
A kayaking trip with Angela starts out wonderfully but takes a dark turn when a body is discovered. Things go from bad to worse when Tulia recognizes the victim – an employee at the resort.
The two friends are determined to work together to get to the bottom of the mystery and search out the truth.
Can they close the case before tragedy strikes again, potentially way too close to home?
Find out in this exciting Cozy Mystery!

The protagonist won the lottery, bought an expensive RV, and is traveling the U.S. with her African Grey Parrot for company. Everywhere they go, murder follows. And she’s drawn to it! She just can’t help herself! LOL! Short story. I recommend starting at the beginning of this series and read them in order.

I'm not sure if this was the last in this series, but if it's the last it definitely did it up right! When it first opened, I loved the little nod to the author's Miami Slice series. Then Tulia's Florida adventure just got better and better. Her pal Angela she'd kept in touch with from her first adventure came along on this one. I was really happy when Samuel showed up too.
There'd been a side mystery brewing the whole time and I absolutely loved how it was solved! Super satisfying! This author's got a great way of writing characters you love and ones you loathe--and I love that she's always making sure those baddies get their comeuppance. If this was the end of the RV series as it stands, I'd love to see it continue (maybe a new series) but with Tulia and Angela sleuthing together, like Tulia could hire her as a PA and they could somehow work remotely with Samuel and Marc's new company. Yep, I think these characters have lots more stories to tell! But if this author writes it, I'm gonna be borrowing it from KU.

Loved the characters, loved the plots
As I was vacationing in Cape Coral and heading back home to Michigan, I started this episode of Tulia's travels. It was fun to have the coincidence of our locations. I have loved traveling with Tulia and her parrot and enjoyed the variety of locations she stopped at. I'd hope for more in this series, though the biggest intrigue ribboning throerugh the series is now successfully resolved. Loved the tidbits about parrot exercise and going on walks together. Very enjoyable

This was the next book in the Rambling RV Cozy mystery series I have read. Tulia Blake has decided to stay in Cape Coral, Florida for awhile. She also wanted to spend her vacation time with Angela from Michigan. While there and having a great time, they found one of the resort employees dead. Is Tulia a dead body magnet? They try to figure out what happened. And did she really see her ex boyfriend down there or was she imagining it? This was another enjoyable, quick read that had you wondering what was going to happen next.

Not so fun in the sun
Tulia visits the sunshine state and invites her new friend Angela to join her. Samuel is off in a different direction trying to outsmart Luis. A murder happens near the resort and the girls aren’t sure what to do. Pick up a copy to see how it all works out. I hope there are many more in this series.

Love this series! This book continues the protagonists travels across the country and her inability to see a new state without finding a body. Stumbling across dead bodies and having the curiosity of a cat keep Tulia busy trying to solve crimes and her PI boyfriend busy keeping her safe. Perfect book to be able to finish in one sitting and leave you wanting more.

Loved it
This is a great series and this book did not disappoint! Its exciting and fun and this one was keeping me on the edge of my seat! Patti Benning packs so much adventure into a short amount of pages. The story moves along at a great pace leaving nothing out. I'm excited for the next adventure with Tulia and Cicero.

another RVing Cozy Suspense Short
I enjoyed ready this story. It is set in the middle of the series but I couldn’t resist when I saw the title. Ow I will have to start at the beginning. These stories are quick , well written with a nice ending. So if you enjoy traveling , danger and novella sized stories give it a go.

Another great trip with a dead body showing up
How can great friends have an amazing vacation? Have a dead body show up again. They do seem to attract this sort of problem. But there is always other things going on too. Good that Samuel is around. Florida was nice but where to next.
