Review:
This one is the fourth book in the Dune House Cozy Mystery series, and I recently reviewed the third book. If you haven't heard or read this series yet, it is exactly how it is described - cozy mysteries. They are short, easy to read mystery stories that I normally pick up in the evening and I've honestly been really enjoying making my way slowly through this series.
In this one, Paul, Suzie's boyfriend, goes away on his boat for work with his new co-worker, but Paul ends up at the focus of a manhunt when his co-worker washes up dead and Paul and his boat are nowhere to be found. Desperate to prove Paul's innocence and find him, Suzie tries to beat the police to him.
I was hooked on this one and it was enjoyable to see more of Suzie and Paul's relationship and the growth in her character as she realises maybe she does care for him more than she expresses. Their relationship is something that hadn't had much focus on yet in the series, so it was nice to get that in this one but still maintain the drama and mystery.
Rate - 3.5/5
