I saved this book for a beach getaway and was not disappointed. This is an uncomplicated, quick read, easy to get into and stay with, undemanding yet engaging. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this on a veranda overlooking the Gulf while drinking my coffee as the sun warmed the chilly morning.
Positives: I liked the main characters. Felt they were people I would want to know and be friends with. The main character seems destined to marry the man she's known since childhood, despite some red flags. And I get that. From the outside, the flags seem to be waving like they're caught in a tropical storm, but from the inside, when you've known someone for forever, it's not so easy to decide--do you really want to marry this person?
I loved the history bits about lost treasure and pirates... Florida is surrounded by shipwrecks and stories. As I read this I was in view of an on which island, legend has it, Jean Lafitte buried treasure.
There were a few places where the dialog seemed rushed or worked, not natural. Or it resolved too easily.
I have to say for a while I thought the plot was too obvious--but then I was nicely misled!

Body on the Boneyard was a cozy enjoyable mystery with suspense to keep the reader curious throughout the story. It has a beachy and hositrical vibe throughout the book with a striking twist at the end. Its not typically the genre that I reach for but it was still a solid and entertaining book that I’m glad we had the author come to our local book club meeting to share with us. If you enjoy a non spicy, grab a hot chocolate, and curl up by a fire read- this one's for you!
