This book was worse then the last one. I absolutely couldn’t stand Suzie in this story. I found her to be very annoying and too overprotective of Mary, who’s a grownup woman. She puts herself in dangerous situations and acts like a teenager instead of a 50 year old woman. The other characters are not much better.

This book was a slow read and kind of boring. The writing was not as good as previous books. However, this like the others was very predictable. It was an okay book.

Got something else to do?

Marie's Read (Marie Shirley Griffin)

Go do it, because reading this is a total waste of time.

I personally wanted to strangle Suzie and Mary, the leading ladies. Their friends didn't fare much better. Insipid is the word I would use to describe most of the characters.

I read this through Kindle Unlimited - heaven knows if I had paid for it, I would have asked for a refund.

I really enjoyed reading this book. You got involved because you could feel her frustration she was trying to figure out who had killed her guest. I won't say anymore, I could easily give it away and I don't want to, but I recommend you read the book, it's not a heavy read it's a comfortable read and when you finish it you don't feel like you 'worked hard to finally get it done'. Hope that makes sense.

Another interesting and slightly nail-biting story from Susie and Mary. Their business is threatened with ruin when it appears a guest has fallen through the railings of one of the balconies. But the ladies are adamant it's foul play and murder. It's a race against time and help from a friend to solve this, clear their name all before Susie's surprise for Mary. A stolen rare book just adds to the mystery. Fabulous read.

[Carla · Rating 4 out of 5]

One of my favorites from the series since its centered around an old rare book.
But when it Susie going to get off her high-horse and realize that while she may have good intentions, she needs to go about things in a different way. But then again, Jason needs to get his act together and learn how to properly investigate cases.

WOW!

These books just keep getting better and better. Since it was Mary's birthday coming up I certainly know how stressful that can be but a murder of accident didn't help. Really good.

[Karen Cino · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was another wonderful book in the series. I like how besides the mystery there is a subplot with both women starting new relationships. I am currently in the process of reading the whole series. I would definitely recommend this series.

Great story...

I enjoyed this story of adventure and suspense, the characters and suspects did a great job of keeping me looking back to try and figure things out. A wonderful job of mystery and 4 romance.

The stories have become convoluted. I have completely lost interest in the main characters. End of the line for me.

Good story.

Good story. Lots of twists and turns. Great characters. Great relationship with all the characters. Cant wait to go on to the next book in this ongoing saga.

[Courtney-Louise✨ · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another book where we have Suzie and Mary enjoying the life of owning their own B&B, only they are beginning to get bored and are wanting something that will spice it up for them. This is when they get just that... only it was unwanted and unexpected. They find a guest dead on their premises - but this isn't the first time someone was murdered on their property. All of this is happening while Suzie is trying to plan a surprise party for Mary, including booking flights for Mary's two children to come over and join them. It is believed that the death of the guest was an accidental death, as he "fell" from his balcony. Except, Suzie and Mary believe that it was not accidental and begin to conduct their own investigation.

[David J. Belliveau · Rating 5 out of 5]

Enjoyable

I chose this rating because of the characters. I really enjoy reading about the two of them. It's a comfortable, enjoyable, and easy read. I would recommend this book to anyone.

[Villy · Rating 1 out of 5]

I have never read a book where all characters were so flat and empty. I thought it might get better with time but... The ideas are good and if the author bothered to built them with good characters and a realistic setting it might be interesting. Too bad she hasn't.

[Linda Cole · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very good

Each book in this series gets better. I enjoyed reading about Suzie and Mary adventures and how they solve their mysteries

[Renee · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was slow. No mystery, the story was predictable and boring.
I've read all the books in this series and was hopeful it would go somewhere... Its an ok read.

[Kitten Peters · Rating 5 out of 5]

Accident or murder

A guest has died at Dune House and the police are ruling it accidental but Suzie knows it is murder. Will she make it to live another day?

[Robin Green · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quick and enjoyable read. I like that the main emphasis in this series is the friendship of two 50-ish ladies who are starting a new phase in their lives.

[Valorie Hunter · Rating 5 out of 5]
