Karen Whalen has written several series of cozy mysteries, and I love them all. She has a real knack of helping you to see life through her characters. Her latest series of cozy mysteries takes place in a small beach town. This book is the fourth in her series of mysteries at Sea Oats Beach.
Book Summary
I had really enjoyed the first three cozy mysteries in the Sea Oats Beach series, so I was excited when the 4th and last book in the series was to be released. The main character, Breanna, becomes like a friend that you can empathize with and cheer her on to solving the mystery. Breanna is a socially awkward young woman who volunteers at the local animal shelter.
In this book we learn about the nesting habits of the sea turtles and how it is important to keep the lights out when they are nesting on the beaches. These loggerhead turtles are a protected species and in the beach areas where they come on shore to nest volunteers take turns as part of the turtle patrol.
Breanna is relaxing on the beach before work one morning when she spots a half-submerged male body in the ocean. It turns out this person was a member of the turtle patrol. The authorities at first say that he had accidently drowned and closed the case. When Breanna goes to meet his wife, she finds out that things just don't add up and it appears that this is more than an accident.
As Breanna has done in the past she tries to help the wife discover what has gone wrong and who might be responsible. Breanna enlists her friends Serena, Emma, and Roscoe to help. There seem to be several possible suspects, and the rest of the book is about Breanna and friends looking into the suspects and helping out the widow.
I found this to be an intriguing cozy mystery, and I didn't guess the outcome. It was quite a surprise.
I highly recommend this book for any fans of cozy mysteries.
