Blurb:
An aquamarine pendant. An old photograph. Dolphins behaving strangely. A filmmaker murdered during Pirate Festival weekend. My island paradise is officially having a bad week.
I’m Skye Marina, sharing a cottage on Seahorse Island with my bestie, Tessa. I’d rather collect shells, dance late into the night, or work beside a charming charter captain than get tangled up in another murder.
That changes when Cara Bennett trusts me with clues about her grandmother’s mysterious death during a 1996 expedition off Lovers Key. Then Cara is murdered, and walking away is no longer an option.
With my loyal poodle, Luna, retired forensic expert Candy Li, and my island friends, I chase clues through mangrove channels, marinas, beaches, and secrets hidden in the deep blue.
Ray Callahan’s reputation depends on the story Cara challenged, while investor Warren Pike resents her for reopening the expedition that ruined him.
Soon Cara’s murder, the long-ago expedition, and the troubled dolphins appear connected.
Now I must expose the killer before someone else is silenced and the island paradise I call home is damaged beyond repair.
My Review:
While looking through her grandfather’s old records, Cara Bennett finds something highly suspicious about her grandmother’s mysterious death during a 1996 expedition off Lovers Key. Desperate for answers, Cara contacts Skye Marina to help her uncover what really happened all those years ago. Believing someone is watching her, a paranoid Cara leaves the old documents in Skye’s hands for safe keeping.
Tragedy strikes the very next day when Cara is found dead. Someone clearly wants to keep the past buried, and Cara was getting too close to the truth. Armed with the records and joined by her loyal poodle, Luna, retired forensic expert Candy Li and her island friends, Skye sets out to solve Cara's murder. The author does a fantastic job of bringing the sun-drenched, atmospheric Florida coast to life, making the island community feel like a character in its own right.
Can Skye and her crew uncover the dark secrets of the past before someone else is silenced? The relentless pacing and clever twists kept me completely hooked, making this a true page-turner. I raced through the final chapters to see how all the puzzle pieces tied together!
I highly recommend Whispers of Lovers Key to all cozy mystery fans. Grab your copy today!
