A clean cozy mystery with endearing friendships!

The future of Dune House is on the line when a new development is approved in the small beachside town. The residents are up in arms and Suzie and Mary are right in the middle of the protests.

Then things become a whole lot more complicated when someone who supports the project is murdered. Suzie and Mary put on their sleuthing hats to get to the truth. But the stakes become even higher when an out-of-town detective is brought in to lead the case. Not only is he determined to nab the killer, but Suzie is a prime suspect.

It’s a race against time to dig through a mountain of clues and suspects and get to the truth before the detective puts the wrong person behind bars.

Join Suzie, Mary, and Pilot for a heartwarming, fun, fast-paced, cozy mystery by USA Today and Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author Cindy Bell that will keep you guessing until the end.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2024

    Suzie & Mary are worried about a hotel project being built on the Beach near Dune House. The businessman, Albert Yardley, has manipulated Clyde Wellers, the new town manager, to let him "buy the beach". An environmental group is protesting the hotel building. Even Summer, Mary, & Suzie are joining the protesters. Wes & Paul join them. Wes wants Albert to listen to the protesters & he goes to knock on Alberta's door. When he turns the knob & opens the door, he finds Alberta's body. When Wes tells Jason, Mary, Suzie, & Paul, they go in the office to see what they can do to help. The mayor calls Jason, who is now Police Chief, to inform him Deputy Ned Wilkerson. Wes has worked with him before & tell them " You might as well mark this murder as unsolved. That man is too distracted by his own reflection to do any real investigative work." Unfortunately, Ned is walking up & hears what he says. He is rude & hateful to Wes, Jason, Summer, Suzie, Paul, & Mary & tells them to leave the crime scene because they are all his prime suspects! What a jerk! This is a great book & despite Ned's attitude, Mary & Suzie still manage to find clues since the townspeople aren't very cooperative with Ned & his attitude!

    This book was great, for several reasons! It had mystery, loyal friends, and a quest for the truth. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and trying to figure everything out! Toward the end, I was able to do that! There are an awful lot of people to think about and to try and answer all the questions I had. I'm so glad to have started at the beginning of Suzie and Mary's latest adventures and am looking forward to the next book (#29) of the Dune House Mystery Series!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and thoughtful cozy mystery
    Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2024
    This is the 28th book in this series; I haven’t read them all, but I think I’ve read the last 10 or so and I really like this series. This book can stand alone well, but it’s probably best appreciated if you’ve read some other books in this series. Suzie and Mary are the main characters and together they own and run a beautiful seaside old bed and breakfast in a small ocean town. A developer wants to take advantage of a loophole in the town’s laws that would allow him to not only build a resort that would block the view for a lot of people, but also to be able to make the beachfront private and off-limits to the public. The increase in tourism would help the tax base, but would harm the small town charm and cause a lot of people to lose their businesses, including possibly Mary and Suzie. When a murder occurs, the women, their boyfriends and other family members become suspects, and so of course they put their amateur sleuthing skills to use to try to solve the crime, and the number of suspects is overwhelming. The mystery is quite good and fun to try to solve along with the ladies. I can definitely recommend this book and series; I was provided an arc, but these opinions are my own.

    These mysteries are always fun to solve along with Susie, Mary, and the police. This time the whole town is up in arms about an outsider trying to build a resort on the beach and turn a huge part of the beach private. Needless to say, this person does not last long. Another really fun story!
