A Tennis Pro to Die For is book three in the Cozy Mysteries to Die For series written by Judy Moore. This is a great who done it mystery and was cleverly written. I was excited to read the work of this new to me author. It has been a long time since I have read a good mystery. The story sucked me in as I tried to solve the mystery. The characters were well developed, had striking personalities, and they were very easy to relate to. The story evolved really well and kept me interested and invested from the beginning. A Tennis Pro to Die For was a thoroughly entertaining read. 4 stars.

A Tennis Pro to Die For by Judy Moore is the third book in the Cozy Mysteries to Die For series. This is a nice, quick read and great to return to the familiar characters of Beck, Lizzie, and Devon. This can be read as a standalone and completely enjoyed. I have read the other books in the series and it is nice to have the recurring characters and see how they are changing as the series progresses. I read this quickly and was left wanting the next book in the series. I enjoy the characters and the odd murders they find themselves involved in. This is a great getaway book to get your mind off of all the craziness of the world and allow yourself to find yourself elsewhere. I hope there is more to this series and look forward to more from this author in the future.

I was looking forward to reading this third book in author Judy Moore’s ‘Cozy Mysteries To Die For’ series having read and enjoyed the previous books and I was not disappointed. Back with what now feels like old friends, the main characters Beck O’Rourke, her grandmother, Miss Alice, and Beck’s younger sister Lizzie are all present. As well as running ‘Beach Reads’ a bookstore and coffee shop Beck’s also likes to investigate mysteries and crimes. In this story Lizzie has persuaded Beck’s into taking tennis lessons and to make things worse for Beck’s who does not like the heat it’s the middle of a hot South Florida summer. Whilst Lizzie is sporty, Beck’s would rather sit in the shade and watch but when one of the racquet club’s tennis pros is killed by a hit-and-run driver Beck’s helps investigate the murder along with police detective Devin Mathis. I already loved the main characters as they are very likeable and relatable and I have enjoyed the character development throughout out the three books. Each character brings something different to the story and the interactions between them all are very realistic. The storyline flows well and the plot twists and turns kept me guessing until the last page. The descriptive narrative made me feel immersed in the story and I felt like I was investigating along with Beck’s. This was an enjoyable and engaging read which had me hooked from page one. Although each book can be read as a standalone story the main characters do crossover and I would personally recommend reading the whole series to really understand the backstory.

A Tennis Pro To Die For is the third book in Judy Moore’s Cozy Mysteries To Die For series. With a coastal Florida setting and a book loving accidental heroine, this series is proving a great comfort read! In this book, Beck is caught up in the mystery when a tennis pro from the club where she has been (reluctantly) having lessons is found dead. A fan of mystery novels, Beck has already found herself caught up in multiple cases before and seems to have a knack for solving them. The supporting characters in this series are well established by now! I particularly like Scratchoff, the unlikely millionaire who is committed to supporting those in need. There are also some great canine characters, particularly Coquina. This book could be read as a standalone if you’re particularly looking for a tennis-themed murder mystery. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend starting at A Book Signing To Die For and working your way through, getting to know the characters along the way! For me, this is another five-star read. I can’t wait to read more of the series!

I give A Tennis Pro To Die For (Cozy Mysteries To Die For Book 3) by Judy Moore, 5 stars.
This is another thrilling cozy mystery in such a fun series. This can be read as a stand alone, but if you are following the series, you will enjoy this book even more. Yes, there is another whodunit for Beck to solve, but it is totally different than the last two. While Beck and her family and friends are back as well as her bookshop, the murder involves a country club and the employees and residents there. This bring a whole new spin on things. Plus, Beck being away for a while makes both Beck and Devon ponder on their futures. You will have to read the book to see just what I mean.
I love how the author brings back the characters we love, yet makes the main story different enough from the previous ones to keep us enthralled until the very end. If you are a fan of Agatha Christie and cozy mysteries, I highly recommend both this book and series.

This author is a gifted storyteller that weaves a fantastic cozy mystery that connects and enthralled. This series is a must read for all mystery lovers and this latest addition is just as good as its predecessors. You can read this on its own but you will want to read the entire series once you start. They are just that well written. Beck is just a fantastic character to follow and I thoroughly enjoy reading her latest adventures. Hoping for more very soon!

I love these Cozy Mysteries. Always a good story, always a good mystery. In A Tennis Pro To Die For (Cozy Mysteries To Die For Book 3) by Judy Moore, I sure got fooled. I was absolutely certain I had it figured out. I was surprised. I love the gentle love story between Beck and Devon. This book was good clean fun.

Well, what happens when you are bullied into taking tennis lessons but your instructor mysteriously ends up in a hit and run accident, it could only happen to Beck.
Beck has been hounded by her sister Lizzie to start going to Tennis lesson, so after a lot of coercing she finally gives in and starts her lessons at the local Country Club, but when Beck hears that one of the Tennis pros is found in a hit and run scenario her sleuthing vibes come to the forefront and is itching to get involved in the investigation but will Devon let her get involved. So to her surprise when Devon asks for her help she is all to eager to help solve this murder.
I have read all the books up to this stage in the Cosy murders and I love them, the characters are wonderful and I love to see the growth of them in each book I read. Beck is such a wonderful forthright character who knows exactly what she wants and is not afraid to run for it headlong even though sometimes it may get her into more trouble. I am so intrigued in reading the next book to see if the relationship of Devon and Beck moves into the next gear as I love the anticipation of the bubbling chemistry.
Although I love the main characters in these books, I am also glad the secondary characters are moving forward also, with Granny and Scratchoff (please involve him more, I love this character). With the fast pace of the book, you have no time to be caught sleeping, the book whisks you along with the story and you will end up saying that famous line “just one more chapter” and you know we have all been there. The story is well written and the plot twists are brilliant. I think this was my best book so far purely because of the interactions and the growth of the characters. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series to see where the next adventure/crime will take us. Although this can be read as a standalone book, I would recommend that you read the series as you get a better insight into the characters.

A Tennis Pro To Die For is the third book in the Cozy Mysteries To Die For series by Judy Moore. I really enjoy a cozy mystery, and this book/series certainly fits that bill with an intriguing storyline, crime, interesting quirky characters, murder, investigation, danger, suspense, and some drama. This story is descriptively detailed, fully developed, and well-woven. And as with the first two books in the series, Ms. Moore had no problem building the suspense and tension, keeping it going over the course of her story. A Tennis Pro To Die For takes us back to Manatee Beach, and to Beach Reads Bookstore where we join Beck, Grammy, Lizzie, and Devon (all of whom we met back in book one) on another murder mystery. This time we explore the darker side of pro tennis, when Lizzie convinces Beck to take tennis lessons (which is a rather unpleasant experience for Beck)- and all too soon things turn into a murder mystery and investigation when one of the tennis pro’s is killed. Bring on Book #4!

A Tennis Pro to Die for is the 3rd book in the Cozy Mysteries to Die for series by Judy Moore. This is a really enjoyable book. Set on the sunny Florida shores, Beck and her sister Lizzie are given guest memberships and tennis lessons at the local country club, athletic Lizzie loves the game however Beck would rather sit in the shade watching than actually playing, watching the dynamic between the flirty members and the handsome tennis coaches. When one of these coaches turns up dead Beck decides to use her detective skills to try and find his killer and there is a list of potential suspects. During this investigation Beck gets close to the club’s professional tennis player and of course, the handsome Detective Devon, who finally realises how useful Beck can be. I have really enjoyed this series so far, each book can be read as a stand along, but it is better if you read them all as you can see the characters development. An enjoyable mystery.

A Tennis Pro To Die For by Judy Moore is the third book in the Cozy Mysteries to Die for series by Judy Moore. Moore’s attention to detail about the dark underside of the tennis pro circuit is intriguing. Another great mystery starring Beck O’Rourke. Lizzie, Beck’s sister talks Beck into taking tennis lessons at a nearby country club. Beck loves to read and really isn’t an athletic girl. Beck is good at is solving mysteries. Several weeks after starting tennis lessons one of the tennis pros that both Beck and Lizzie had class with is found dead. Beck has assisted the local detective Devon Mathis with solving a couple other mysterious death in the community of Manatee Beach, Florida. I love Ms. Moore’s Cozy Mystery Series. A Tennis Pro To Die For has just the right amount of mystery and intrigue to it that it keeps you reading.

This is the third novel in Judy Moore’s Cozy Mysteries To Die For series. In my personal opinion these books just flow and are so much better when read in order. You really begin to feel as the characters are family you could visit from time to time and join in on their adventures. I love how Moore writes these mysteries with just enough humor and wit to feel like you get a comedy read as well. It is a unique spin to the cozy mystery genre. In this one we visit the world of pro tennis and man do things get messy. Beck really finds herself in the thick of it while taking tennis lessons she was coaxed into taking by her sister. The death of a tennis pro will make things even more interesting. I can’t wait to see where we will find ourselves next in this series.

A Tennis Pro to Die for by Judy Moore a five-star read that is great off the bat. This is number three in the Cosy Mystery to die for series, they don’t need to be read in order as they each focus on a different main event, and story, but they are all amazing Beck O’Rourke is such a great character, she is relatable, funny and just one of the characters that will suck you into this story and keep you hooked all the way through. The mystery when the tennis pro is murdered just adds to the story and solidifies the role that Devon plays. It’s a great story and a fab series that must be read.

I’ve read every one of these books in this series. I feel like I’m part of the inner group with them and can’t wait to see where they’re going to take me next. I want a shop like Beach Reads to hang out in! This one obviously has Beck at it again with her detective sleuthing. One of her newly acquired friends is having some issues with bad things happening around her. Read this story to find out if Beck can solve this one before it’s too late! (Please read these in order. You don’t have to, but they’re so worth it!)

A Tennis Pro To Die For is the third book in the Cozy Mysteries To Die For series by Judy Moore. This book can be read as a stand-alone story, but I recommend starting from book one because we already know the backstory of these characters.
As you can tell by the title, this story sees the plot take a turn away from the usual path, and down that of a sporty route. I loved this element, it was fun to see the author take this series down a different path. I didn’t realise until after I read the book that the author herself is a former tennis pro, but this is definitely reflected in the writing, her knowledge of the sport and the politics surrounding it shines through brilliantly. As with the previous books in this series, the stories are action-packed and fast-paced, but the brilliant characters help to keep the reader on track. If you haven’t started this series yet, I would definitely recommend it if you love cosy mysteries and whodunnit-style books. It keeps you guessing and on your toes right up until the last page.

I still love this series, the character, Beck, is developing more as we continue to read about her, also her continued relationship with Devon is continuing to become better with each installment. I love these books, because I personally would love to live where she does and do what she does, these stories take me away and that is what I like about reading, a smooth story that keeps my attention and fun characters that make me feel like I could be them. I continue to recommend this series and this author!

A Tennis Pro To Die For (Cozy Mysteries To Die For Book 3) by Judy Moore is a cozy mystery crime tale. It is a quick but engaging read that keeps the pages turning and is full of twists and turns that you did not see coming. This is a who dunnit, that has plenty of suspects. This well-crafted tale will keep you wondering right before the reveal.
Beck is back and once again embroiled in the mysterious death of a tennis pro. And let’s not forget Beck’s family and friends who continue to be their normal charming selves. But that is not all that is going on!

5 Stars
I love this series so so so so much!! I have read almost all of Judy Moore’s books, still a few more I need to grab but she has literally become one of my favorite authors in this genre. I know once I open a book I need time because I will not want to put it down.
This series in particular is an absolute favorite. I feel like these people have become my friends and I’m so emotionally invested in everything, the book store, the town, and especially the characters, including Coquina and whether she learns French or Spanish LOL Scratchoff is still a favorite and I’m having visions of a super fun yet unbelievable storyline for him that I think would quickly become a killer part of this series!
I love how the Devon and Beck story is going…it feels so amazingly real and is building perfectly!!
This is an awesome series. I personally do not recommend reading them as standalones if you want to become completely invested in these characters, you need them all for the full effect!
This author has a way of weaving her words into the most amazing stories that flow so perfectly and have just enough of the twists and turns to make them amazing.

I loved reading the book Tennis Pro To Die For (Cozy Mysteries To Die For Book 3) by Judy Moore. It is a story that grabbed my attention, and I was hooked. I loved the storyline and the characters. The author does an amazing job of making both come alive. Beck O’Rourke and Lizzie are two characters that I liked as they are well-developed, and I found that I liked reading about them. This book includes mystery and had me turning pages to find out what happens next. The books in this series keep getting better with each story that I read. The author does a wonderful job of writing tales that are enjoyable for all. Don’t miss out on an exciting, entertaining, intriguing, and interesting book. I highly recommend it.

Beck and Halyey are a combo I won’t of expected. At the Country club taking lessons is how we start. I really enjoyed the bakcstory as it adds a nice community element to the book. The mystery is well thought out and as Beck investsged I find myself running through the pages wanting to know the conclusions.

A Tennis Pro To Die For (Cozy Mysteries To Die For Book 3) by Judy Moore is another great mystery starring Beck O’Rourke. Lizzie, Beck’s sister talks Beck into taking tennis lessons at a nearby country club. Beck loves to read and really isn’t an athletic gal, who I totally relate to. The thing Beck is good at is solving mysteries. Several weeks after starting tennis lessons one of the tennis pros that both Beck and Lizzie had class with is found dead. Beck has assisted the local detective Devon Mathis with solving a couple other mysterious death in the community of Manatee Beach, Florida. In the past Detective Devon was against Beck helping solve the crimes. But a summer spent apart (Beck was helping her mom after surgery) seems to have softened his feelings. I think this is my favorite book of the series. I loved that we continue to learn more about the main characters and the supporting characters like Scratchoff and Shirley. Can’t wait to read more crime solving in future books.

This is the third book in this series, I enjoyed it just as much as the previous books. I highly suggest reading the previous two books to get to know the main character and help enjoy this series. This is a well rounded story that has characters that are creative and brings the story to life. Beck is talked into taking tennis lessons by her sister. What will happen when a tennis pro is murdered? I highly recommend finding out what happens when she helps the detective on the case. I really enjoyed the characters and what they bring to the story. They kept me engaged, this was worth the pick up.

Beck’O Rourke, her carefree sister Lizzie and her adorable grandmother are back with the handsome police detective Devon Mathis in the third installment of the series, A Tennis pro to die for. I have read the previous two books and I am a huge fan of Judy Moore Cozy mystery’s books. This one is by far, the most complicated of the plots. Beck and Lizzie decide to take tennis lessons at a racquet club in the country club in Florida. Her instructor gets into a hit-and-run accident and is killed. Beck decided to step in and helps out Devon to solve this intriguing mystery. Similar to the previous two books, the plot is very fast paced. The relationship between Beck and Devon is sweet and is still blooming. The characters are endearing and heartwarming. I liked this book and look forward for more from Jude Moore.

Beck O’Rourke’s younger sister Lizzie has cajoled her into taking tennis lessons at a ritzy racquet club in the middle of the summer in South Florida. Beck not only suffers from the heat but from her snooty classmates who are more interested in the handsome tennis pros than learning how to hit a backhand. But things get serious when one of the racquet club’s pros is killed by a hit-and-run driver. Beck takes advantage of her inside knowledge of the tennis club to try to help handsome police detective Devon Mathis catch the killer.
A Tennis Pro To Die For is the third standalone mystery in the Cozy Mysteries To Die For series. The series follows Beck O’Rourke and her grandmother, Miss Alice, who own Beach Reads bookstore and coffee shop, a gathering place for locals and tourists a block off the ocean in Manatee Beach, Florida. They live above the bookstore with Beck’s feisty younger sister, Lizzie, a lifeguard.
Beck is determined to follow her lifelong dream of being a detective, but the amateur sleuth keeps butting heads with handsome Manatee Beach Police Department detective Devon Mathis. Will she have to give up one passion for the other?

A very fast paced read revolving around a murder mystery, Murder at Lolly Beach is about Eve Sawyer, a journalist student who is invited to a vacation to a beach by her close friend. Eve goes to the beach without any hesitation to have some peace time, but instead finds herself in the middle of a murder when the truck of her chef friend meets with an accident and her friend goes into a coma. The local reporter, Jake, invites Eve to investigate the case along with him. And then starts the cat and mouse chase to find the murderer, who seems to be always one step ahead of them and keeps wiping off all the clues and the witnesses.
Tension mounts as the plot goes through a lot of twists and turns till the murderer is revealed. A gripping plot, pleasant characters and an easy read, I liked this book. I am thinking of going back and reading book 1, which I haven’t yet.

Murder At Lolly Beach: An Eve Sawyer Mystery by Jane Suen was a really good read. I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect going into this novel, this is the first I’ve read from this author, and I wasn’t disappointed. It was a really good read, but also just kind of bland to me. It didn’t grab my attention and hold me that I expected it would. I’m not sure why, because I was expecting a little bit more. It felt not rushed exactly, but a little hurried. It was a very quick read and an easy read. Th characters were interesting as well as the plot. It did have a twist to it. I thought it was pretty predictable up till the end. All in all this was a solid read and I would definitely read more from this author in the future.
