Betrayal at the Beach (Dangerous Curves Book 1) by K.L. Montgomery – Review by Ashley Dover

Betrayal at the Beach: A Cozy Christian Mystery by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sunshine Baker is the young adult librarian at Bryce Beach Public Library. This year she is planning the Friends of the Library Gala. The gala is how the library gets its donations for the year. The gala is a huge success until something terrible happens.

During the announcement of the funds raised for the library, the library is robbed. The most famous book in the library, the Family Bible of the Bryce’s is stolen from its case. Upon further investigation, all the donations have also been taken.

Sunshine is asked by the chief of police and her boss to look into the people in the library. Sunshine is very uncomfortable looking into her colleagues knowing that each one would benefit from the donations to the library and some might even lose their jobs without those donations.

Sunshine begins her investigation and automatically goes into “Nancy Drew” mode as she calls it. With the help of her friend, Molly, Sunshine uncovers piece by piece of the puzzle. The actual culprit is a huge surprise to all involved.

This cozy mystery is a quick read. The body-positive messages are great for anyone who struggles with feeling good about who they are. I really enjoyed the story and the way the mystery unfolds leading to dead ends and then the finale.
