My pick for a great cozy mystery
beach themed book is
DEATH OF THE BIG KAHUNA
#6 in the Aloha Lagoon Mysteries
by Catherine Bruns
From USA Today bestselling author Catherine Bruns, comes an Aloha Lagoon Mystery that proves sometimes paradise isn't all it's served up to be.
New to both Hawaii and the Aloha Lagoon Resort, Carrie Jorgenson has big dreams of stardom. But while she awaits fame and fortune, she's forced to accept a job waitressing at the resort's The Loco Moco Café. It isn't long before she discovers the dish on her new boss—also known to many as "The Big Kahuna." Hale Akamu is rich, handsome, repulsive...and dead. When Carrie discovers Hale's lifeless body, she's suddenly forced into yet another role—amateur sleuth. With everyone from Carrie to the saucy chef to the café's hot assistant manager under suspicion, Carrie needs to track a killer before she becomes his next main entrée!

DEATH OF THE BIG KAHUNA
is a great mystery and a fun read!
(I've never read a bad book by Catherine Bruns)
Don't let the fact that it's book #6 is a series to keep you from reading it. Each book in the
Aloha Lagoon Mysteries is written by a different author, and can be read as a stand alone!

ReplyDeleteIt's my mission in life to add to all TBRs! :-)
DeleteWoo hoo! Beach babes! :)
ReplyDeleteThis girl rocks a bikini . . . when I'm a cartoon! ;-)
DeleteLove this suggestion and not one I have read!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read all of the books in the series. Each one has a different author. But if Catherine Bruns writes a book, I'll read it!
DeleteWoo Hoo!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd a Woo Hoo to you too! ;-)
DeleteI will be checking out your choices each week! Wonderful idea!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susan! Our lovely Karen was the idea girl on this one. :-)
DeleteOk so this series really isn't dependent at all on reading the books before it? If the authors are all different then the characters are too? So definitely a stand alone. I kinda hate to break my own rule of starting other than 1 but hey this is summer reading, get crazy right? ;) LOL
