4.6 out of 5 stars 530 ratings

Enter the series at any book - each is a complete standalone mystery!

Someone is killing cozy mystery detectives!

Charlotte’s friend Tilly dies and leaves her a cryptic message about the Cozy Mystery Killer—an assassin who has a grudge against amateur detectives. She's left more clues hidden inside tea cosies stashed all over Pineapple Port, which is good, because someone has robbed her home, leaving Charlotte with few leads.

While Charlotte and Declan follow the clues to find the killer, Mariska and Darla work to surprise them with upgrades to the couple’s new detective agency office. That is until a local crime-solving "witch" goes missing, and Charlotte needs to call them into active duty to help find her before she ends up the killer's next victim.


Have a treasure hunt of your own finding and decoding the hidden references to characters and tropes from other cozy mystery series you may have read!

A Thoroughly Enjoyable Read
In these troubled political times, it was nice to escape into this clever, lighthearted mystery that is packed with humor. It revolves around Pineapple Port, a senior community filled with eccentric but very likable characters. Charlotte, an amateur sleuth, wants to start a detective agency. She discovers there’s a serial murderer on the loose who is targeting amateur sleuths. The seniors attempt to help her hunt down the killer before she becomes the next victim. Their exploits are bumbling, funny, and endearing. Want to destress? Read Pineapple Cozy Mystery: The Cozy Mystery Killer is on the Loose!

    This 16th book in the Pineapple Port series sure kept me laughing. Amy Vansant has a terrific way of helping the the reader actually "see" the whole story. The mystery is fun and the humor even better! The characters are unique and the mystery has lots of twists and turns. This was one that I guessed early on who did it, but I found myself hooked as Charlotte and Declan, along with helpers Mariska, Darla, and Frank had such a time getting in to trouble while putting the puzzle together to discover who might be killing amateur sleuths. It was terrific.

    I enjoyed this cozy mystery. It’s a different venue from others and the characters are fun to get to know as they work their way through clues.
    A few twists and turns keep it interesting. Some subtle clues are also there for one who looks carefully. I’d recommend this to anyone who want a nice story to entertain on a relaxing day - beach read or vacation tuck in, it’s fun.

    Charlotte, Declan and the gang from Pineapple Port NEVER fail to entertain! Amy Vansant's entire Pineapple Port series is laugh out loud fun. The action starts on page one and carries through right to the end. The antics of Mariska and Darla are always EPIC! I can't recommend this series enough!

    Such a fun series set in a 55 and up community. Even though Charlotte is much younger and grandfathered in, she gets on really well with the ladies and manages to always get into some sort of mischief.
