Review: Spring Break Slaying (The Wannabe Sleuth #3) by Jody Holford


What happens on spring break stays on spring break…except murder.

It’s spring break in Rainbow Falls and true crime aficionado Annie Abbott is hoping to cater to the hoards of college kids descending on her coastal town by hosting a Gatsby-themed murder mystery party. She’s hoping her twenties era whodunnit at a local historic mansion will increase tourist revenue and build her business’s brand.

The party is the talk of the town when a despised social media influencer is attacked and left for dead on the estate’s grounds. With the help of her online friends, Annie searches for clues. The list of suspects reads like the town’s social directory—but who benefits most from the victim’s silence?

Annie’s parents are due home from their year-long adventure, so her time in Rainbow Falls is winding down. With a growing suspect list and tension among her friends, Annie worries about her own future. Should she settle in Rainbow Falls? Do she and Ben, her boyfriend and the town vet, have a future? Will she live long enough to find out?

 

My Review:

An entertaining small town cozy mystery. 

If you have read any of the books in the Wannabe Sleuth series, you definitely don’t want to miss this one.  This time Annie and one of her friends are hosting a murder mystery party.  The residents of Rainbow Falls and spring break visitors are all invited.  But it isn’t long before there is a murder and of course Annie is one of the people to discover the victim.  I enjoyed seeing Annie and her friends teaming up once again to solve the mystery.  Sometimes I feel I am getting better at figuring out the killer in most books, but this one stumped me.  It was an exciting read all the way through the book.  And of course, I enjoyed catching up with all of the fun characters in Rainbow Falls.
