Spring Break Murder

Small Town Minnesota #5

by Linnea West

A vacation in an RV park full of retirees is supposed to be slow and maybe even a little boring but when a dead body is found, any sense of rest and relaxation is immediately out the window.

Tessa Schmidt hasn’t been on vacation in a few years, so when her best friend Mandy goes to Florida to visit her retired parents, Tessa tags along thinking she’d like a slow vacation in a warm place. But Candy Cane Park is more daytime drama, less retirement home. There is a clique of popular women who rule the park, a full schedule of activities and even a mean-spirited woman who has her own crony. Tessa had no idea what she was getting herself into when she agreed to this trip.Then a body is found in the park and Mandy is blamed for the death. Tessa shelves her dreams of a relaxing vacation so that she can help clear her friend’s name.

Just when Tessa thinks she has enough on her plate, an unexpected visitor shows up with plans for a big surprise that are now in jeopardy.

Can Tessa find the real killer and help get the surprise back on track so she can have some semblance of a vacation?

Quiete nice, but I preferred the ones before. The ending was however better as I expected it to be. I knew who the killer was the entire time, which was a disappointment, but how things wrapped up, where different to the books before, which I very much appreciated!

These are fun cozies but the author struggles with using a consistent tense. Also, the use of I/me is almost always wrong. Thus, the moment where the story pauses to mention that Tessa notices an apostrophe mistake (lack of), is sort of weird.

Great read!

Love this series and this author! The series is a cozy mystery series set in small town Minnesota. The big mystery is wrapped up by the end of the book. There are subplots and character development that carry from one book to the next, so it works best if you read the books in order.

Good fun romp thru a Florida Senior RV Park while investigating a murder they her best friend has been accused of doing.
