My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book 1 – Betrayal At The Beach
This book is quite entertaining. Sunshine is the YA librarian in the Bryce Beach library. She has been in charge of putting together the annual gala. The night of the gala, the charitable donations and the town’s founding fathers bible are stolen. Who did it? Camille, the Mayor’s wife, and her evil clique? Maybe a coworker? Or someone you never would have thought of. Sunshine’s boss wants her to be the point person because she was in charge of putting it together. That means working with the handsome Chief James who tells her to stick with librarianship. With the help of Molly and God, Sunshine sets out to find the culprit. They have no qualms about snooping, spying, stalking or tricking; whatever it takes within legal limits. I found myself laughing because this is clean, funny and entertaining. The characters are quirky and a little stereotypical. I like to hang around libraries so they fit into what I’ve experienced. The book references are hilarious. Her parents are a hoot. The town is perfect for this type of mystery. I could not help but picture a town like Mayberry with the odd characters, though with a modern feel. The mystery was smooth, yet, challenging. I did not see that ending coming. Every time I thought I solved it, the author threw a twist. Perfect. Highly recommend.
Book 2 – Mystery At The Marina
Dead fish, a shark, and a whale, Sunshine wants to know what’s going on with this. There’s no reason for this and to her, there seems to be a coverup. Too many secrets and not enough answers. Sunshine and Molly again hit the trail looking for answers. Nothing is ever as it seems. Drugs, high school acquaintances, secrets, and many more. Sunshine will dig to the core. Chief James reminding her along the way to stick to librarianship while loosening up a bit towards her. I would love to see these two date. Along with asking Jesus to take the wheel, Sunshine just knows how to make a mystery fun and still get into danger and somehow come out in one piece. All I can say is “by the grace of God.”
Book 3 – Shooting On The Shore
Mrs. Monroe is found dead on the beach. Having been the last one to talk to her, Sunshine is shocked to hear this news. The ladies at the library want her to figure out who the murderer is. They will do anything to help. Family secrets are due to come out when Sunshine learns there is Mrs. Monroe wrote a memoir. The Boxbury’s and the Monroes have a long twisted history and Sunshine, the library ladies and Chief James will again sift through the town adventures and memories to get to the bottom of things. Things between the Chief and Sunshine seem a lot more relaxed. She has another admirer letter, who could it be???? You just must read this series. Good, clean, entertaining fun with a wonderful mystery that will keep you on your toes. The author leaves you thinking you solved but, nope, plot twist. I am loving this series. This author is now on my favorite list.
Great set. Highly recommend.
