Perfect for you if...

You love cosy mysteries with a lighter touch and enjoy protagonists who are in over their heads but have solid support systems.
You appreciate older characters who are vibrant and funny rather than sidelined, and you want grannies who actually drive the plot forward.
You're drawn to resort or hospitality settings where the everyday stakes feel real, and you want a mystery that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer dark, gritty detective work and don't want humour or quirkiness getting in the way of a complex whodunnit.
You're looking for a standalone mystery rather than the first book in a series.
You want intricate legal or forensic procedurals instead of amateur sleuthing with heart.

About this book

When a guest is poisoned at the Gulf Palms Resort and Spa's penthouse pool, Millie Wentworth's routine as Assistant General Manager is disrupted. A charcuterie board she sent to the victim is found near the body, making her a suspect in the Port Sunset Police investigation. When suspicion shifts to a friend, Millie takes it upon herself to find the real killer and clear her friend's name. She enlists help from her pink-haired grandmother, the grandmother's rescue corgi, and a group of septuagenarian beach bunnies to solve the case. This is the first book in the Port Sunset Mysteries series. It was a finalist for Cozy Mystery of the Year at N.N. Light's Annual Book Awards.
