The Perils of Poison: a small town romantic mystery (The Lemon Tree Bay Mysteries Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Megan Mayfair (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 78 ratings

Who is hiding behind a mask in Lemon Tree Bay?

Clara’s yoga class is far from peaceful when the instructor, Emerald, is poisoned. The nature of her death and a series of revelations about her personal life raises gossip and conjecture throughout Lemon Tree Bay. Who could have murdered her, and why?

Bright and bubbly Gigi, Clara's colleague at the hair salon, is plunged into worry when her boyfriend, Ollie, goes missing. In comforting her friend and assisting in the search, Clara finds herself digging into Ollie’s life, only to make a shocking discovery.

Senior Constable Adam Billings needs a distraction from the heartbreak of seeing the love of his life with his arch-nemesis. Throwing himself into his work, he becomes convinced Emerald’s murder and Ollie’s vanishing act are linked, but will his investigations put him directly in the poisoner’s sights?

As the town’s annual masked ball turns into a night of revelation, and with those nearest and dearest to Clara in the deepest peril, she resolves to unravel the mysterious happenings in her coastal hometown. Can she unmask the murderer, or will snooping cost her everything?

The Perils of Poison is the third book in the Lemon Tree Bay Mysteries – a baffling, cosy, romantic series by award-winning author, Megan Mayfair.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This is such a great story

    I am loving this series, it is a great cosy mystery romance set in a beautiful small town on the beach and Clara the hairdresser can’t help herself but investigate again when their yoga teacher is poisoned this of course leads to danger for her and then there is the relationship with her boyfriend Lucas and trouble brewing with ex-boyfriend Adam Billings the cop.

    When the yoga teacher Emerald is poisoned this starts an investigation and some revelations about her true identity, then Gigi Clara’s assistant hairdresser’s boyfriend Ollie vanishes are the two related? Clara can’t help herself after the hair salon is broken into on the night of the masked ball, and she discovers Ollie dead and some more evidence.

    Senior Constable Adam Billings is throwing himself into the investigation to try and discover the truth, he is also thinking constantly about Clara and worrying whether or not Lucas is the right person for her. Convinced that Emerald and Ollie’s deaths are linked he then finds himself in trouble and in hospital, this pushes Clara to dig deeper and of course more danger.

    Clara is good at investigating murders and again uncovers the killer but it seems her premonitions are starting up again she loves Lucas but with Adam so close things are getting more troublesome for her. This is really a great series with wonderful characters and a fabulous setting, I was guessing till close to the end, Megan Mayfair writes wonderful stories that pull her readers in and keep them turning the pages, I can’t wait for the next one to see how life turns out for Clara. I do highly recommend this story and the series.

    4.0 out of 5 stars twisted opportunities and challenging outcomes

    this is the book I thought I had missed: the resolution of things with Clara, Adam and Lucas

    why on earth is Clara so determined to turn away from her visions of a future with Adam? He hurt her by taking her for granted, but he has wanted the best for her since he has been back in Lemon Tree Bay- even if that included Lucas.

    What does Lucas want ? Allegedly Clara, but really a future with a suitable partner. he seems more than a bit spoiled and over pampered.

    Gal pal Gigi and her missing lover are just jagged pieces of another mystery.

    Can they manage to survive- and to work things out?

    Suspense filled romance and intrigue.

    This is book three in this series and Clara has a new sidekick in Sunflower, a cocker spaniel. Sunflower can’t stand Lucas, Clara’s boyfriend. I love the suspense in this books and how Clara always gets mixed up in the cases, even though her ex Adam tells her to let him and his partner, Tim, handle the police work. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book. I have to say I didn’t care for how this book ended, so that’s why I only gave this great story four stars. Overall, this is a great series and I’ve enjoyed all the books.

    The Perils of Poison is Book 3 in the Lemon Tree Bay Mysteries by Megan Mayfair. I really like the characters in this series. I find that Megan Mayfair has progressed the characters in a logical manner and she has brought in new characters that keep each book fresh. Clara and her mum, Willow, live together in Lemon Tree Bay. When their yoga teacher dies at the end of their class, it begins another adventure and mystery. Besides the murder, the other theme is the long distance relationship between Lucas and Clara. I believe that this is an excellent cozy mystery with clues unfolding the mystery as I tried to figure out everything. The ending was unexpected and so perfect. I am really hoping that book 4 is written quickly so I can see what happens next! I received an arc for free and am leaving my review voluntarily.

    Thank you to Booksprout and author Megan Mayfair for the advanced copy of this book. I am leaving this review voluntarily.

    We’re back in Lemon Tree Bay with Clara, Gigi, and Adam. While Lucas is in Melbourne for work, Clara and Adam are involved with a new mystery when their yoga instructor has an unfortunate demise during class. Who did it? And why?

    Clara and Lucas’ relationship is put to the test as they deal with the distance and Adam’s presence isn’t helping matters, either.

    I adored this third installment and cannot wait for book 4. (Please tell me we don’t have to wait too long, Megan!) Megan Mayfair does an excellent job of drawing you into the story and characters of Lemon Tree Bay. I’m so glad that I found her books in 2021!
