Beneath the luminous glow of Koh Phangan's moon, within the tranquil retreat of Mango Moon Hideaway, a sinister mystery unfolds, transforming paradise into a chilling tableau of secrets and shadows. Harry Sinclair, an intrepid travel blogger with a zest for culinary discoveries, finds her peaceful escape turned on its head when a night of revelry at a foam party spirals into the unexplained disappearance of one woman and the haunting discovery of another's body.

Awakening on an unfamiliar boat amidst strangers, a young woman's dream vacation becomes a harrowing ordeal, setting off a chain of events that threatens to peel away the island's serene veneer. As Harry is thrust into the midst of this enigma by the desperate pleas of a missing woman's boyfriend, the gruesome find beneath the party's lingering foam whispers of a darker deed at play.

With the clock ticking ominously, Harry and her companions delve into the heart of Koh Phangan, piecing together a puzzle that grows more complex with each passing moment. A sinister message, warning Harry to abandon her quest, only serves to steel her resolve, convinced that the murdered woman's missing laptop holds the clue to untangling the web.

As the jovial facade of Mango Moon Hideaway begins to crumble, revealing its ominous secrets, Harry navigates a treacherous path lined with deceit and danger. With each discovery, it becomes clear that paradise is but a mask for a malevolent reality lurking beneath. Can Harry unveil the truth before the island's dark undercurrents claim another soul? Or will her pursuit of justice ensnare her in a peril from which there is no escape?

"Moonlit Secrets" invites readers on a captivating journey to a paradise where beauty belies danger, and the quest for truth leads to the heart of darkness. Join Harry Sinclair in a gripping cozy mystery, where the stakes are as deadly as the secrets hidden under the moonlit sky.

This is the second book in the series…A Harry Sinclair Cozy Travel Mystery. It has a good storyline with old familiar characters from Book 1 and some interesting new ones. Harry has her peaceful escape shattered.
A great read. Recommend.

There are Thai recipes at the back of the book.

I received a complimentary copy from the author and I am writing an honest, voluntary review.

Harry is sleuthing again after an old friend has an “accident” at a Thai resort. Harry’s friend, Sarah, goes missing and she is still trying to investigate her parent’s death that happened 20 years ago.

Such a great cozy! I am really enjoying the series. There are Thai recipes at the end of the book.

When Harry recieves a message from an old news collegue, to meet her at the Mango Moon Hideaway about an investigation she was conducting, Harry's curiousity gets the better of her. She heads to the retreat with her new friends Euclid and Sarah. When Harry arrives her old collegue, Zoe, is very cryptic and tells her she'll fill her in about her investigation soon, but whe Zoe is found dead the next day after a foam party, Harry thinks the story might die with Zoe. She also believes Zoe was murdered to silence her and continues to secretly investigate.
She is also following a lead about her parents death. She needs closure and is trying to find the captain of the boat they died on.
I'm loving the vivid description the author gives in this series of a land I'll probably never visit, but can almost see with her descriptions.

This is the 2nd book in the Harry Sinclair Cozy Travel Mystery set. It is just as good as the first. This rarely happens. It continues the story and mysteries of Harry Sinclair and her new friends overseas. This book focus on Harry's continuous search for information concerning the mysterious deaths of her parents, along with a kidnapping and murder mystery. This author has a way with words and how she describes the beautiful landscape, food, people, etc. That's all I'll say because I don't want to give anything away. Read this series as you won't be disappointed! It is in my top 5 best cozy mystery book sets! Hope this author keeps churning out cozy mysteries for years to come! Can't wait until book 3!

Harry Sinclair’s relentless quest to uncover the truth behind her parents’ tragedy has turned her adventure into a gripping nightmare that she didn’t see coming in MOONLIT SECRETS (Book 2)!

I was captivated by the charming scenery and tantalizing flavors of Thailand (bonus: the book includes delicious recipes!) in Sabina O’s finely crafted Harry Sinclair Cozy Travel Mystery series. That being said, I relish the intrigue and the unpredictable twists of her storytelling.

The series has me turning pages faster than I can savor its charm and delight! I can’t wait for Book 3 Whispers of Lotus Villa and highly recommend this mesmerizing journey - prepare to be swept away by Thailand’s enchanting islands and irresistible cuisine!

I really enjoy this series and look forward to Book 3 this summer. Sabina has a style of writing and a way of developing her characters that allows readers to feel as though they are actively seeing the story unfold in front of them. I love Harry, the main character, I this series! She creates suspense and tension and has me staying up late to find out what will happen to her next! I was given an ARC to read in exchange for an honest review.

What a great read. Sabina does a great job of describing the beautiful setting at the Mango Moon Hideaway in Thailand. The story kept my attention and the ending gave us the conclusion we needed. Now, I need to read the first in the series and can’t wait to find out more about the death of Harry’s parents.

[Kathryn Zweigenbaum · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book. I couldn't put it down. Harry finds herself involved the middle of another murder. She also finds out more about her parents which leaves her with more questions than answers.

Nice pleasing read

A pleasant quick read. This thriller has some good plot twists, and it was not obvious where the story was going.
This is the second sabina o book that has been satisfyingly consumed.
Another will be soon.

[Tara Woolard (Ehrbar) · Rating 5 out of 5]

I think the story is great. I don't want to say much because I don't like to give a lot away. But I am a lover of cozy mysteries and this is a great cozy! Also, it includes some amazing recipes in the book! I love the details it gives on the place you travel to it makes you feel just like you are there. It sounded so beautiful. I have not read the first book since I won this to give an honest review. I honestly want to go and read the first book and can't wait for the third! I recommend reading this story. It will keep you interested in all the characters and storylines.
