Mystery at the Marina: A Cozy Christian Mystery (Dangerous Curves Book 2) by K.L. Montgomery is the second book in the series. Sunshine Baker is at it again, trying to solve a new mystery. She has found that she enjoys the new found thrill she has discovered. This series is amateur sleuth with a cute cast of characters. I think each character brings something different and unique, which contributes to the overall story telling. I am enjoying this series and look forward to reading more of them. If you like a quick read, grab your copy today.

Montgomery – Review by Colleen Noyes
Betrayal at the Beach was a great cozy mystery story. You can’t help but be drawn to Sunshine Baker and her amateur sleuth skills. This was just the type of book that you would want to read on a cold and snowy afternoon in a blanket with a nice warm cup of hot chocolate, like I did.
I felt that Sunshine was a very strong character whose quirkiness came through beautifully. This was a lighthearted read and the perfect way to start a new year. The secondary characters all enhanced the story and I’m hoping that as a series goes on will get to know them even more in depth.
It had just the right amount of mystery you would expect for a true cozy book. It was a very quick read that kept you engaged from page one to the last page. I very much enjoyed this authors writing style with just the right amount of humor.
If you enjoy quick reads, and true cozy mysteries, then you will want to pick this book up and give this series a try.

Montgomery – Review by Colleen Noyes
Honestly I love everything this author writes! But with this one, well its different in a way that shes never written a story. It had the mystery to it and I had a hunch and dismissed it quickly and I shouldnt have, that takes a good author to steer you so close then away to keep you on your toes. I love this town and the characters. I mean with a name like Sunshine, you won’t forget her, and I can tell we will get some great books from this already!

Montgomery – Review by Lyndsey Fairley
Betrayal at the Beach: A Cozy Christian Mystery (Dangerous Curves Book 1) by K.L. Montgomery was a book full of mystery and suspense. It is a great cozy read.
When tragedy hits the Bryce Beach Public Library, librarian Sunshine Baker must choose between solving the mystery and losing her job. Sunshine feels unusually equipped despite having no prior detective experience, thanks to her ninja YA librarian talents and all those Nancy Drew books she read as a youngster. Sunshine and her colleagues explore Bryce Beach for suspects, clues, and the stolen riches with the assistance of children’s librarian Molly Simmons and cataloguer Evangeline Dupree. Can Sarah and her team reclaim the funds raised at the library’s annual fundraising gala, as well as Bryce Beach’s most valuable historical item, the Bible with the signatures of the town’s founding fathers?
I loved every page of it. I can’t wait to read the rest of the other books in this series.

Montgomery- Review by Shadel Ayerbe
Oh, My Goodness! I could not put down the book. I could relate to the main character and some of her problems and living in a small town. The story was easy to follow and I could not guess the ending of the mystery. For me the book as a good homework break to be able to relax and then get back to it. I cannot wait for the next one to see what happens and where the author, K.I. Montgomery, takes the series.

Montgomery – Review by Darcy Valentine
What an utterly fun read for a lazy afternoon! This little mystery has great characters, a well-timed plot, and an engaging mystery for readers to solve along with Sunny Baker. As noted, it does have a “grown-up Nancy Drew” feel to it, and made for a captivating story. The heroine, a 42-year-old librarian in a small beach town was relatable and fun, an ardent supporter of reading and comfortable in her own skin. I liked that she had a bit of sass and jumped into rescuing her library despite some fears she had. While this is called a Christian mystery, you certainly don’t need to be Christian in order to enjoy it. Sunny is a woman with faith, but the book doesn’t centre around this – it’s just an aspect of her personality. If you are looking for a fun cozy book to curl up with today, this might be the one!

Montgomery – Review by Erica Shoebridge
If you love Nancy Drew then you are going to love Ms. Montgomery’s Betrayal at The Beach. I was originally drawn to this book by the front cover, it’s colors and beach theme really drew me in, but once I started reading it I couldn’t put it down. It has everything that a good cozy mystery book should have including a great sleuth, and her friends, a mystery that will have you guessing until the end, and a wonderful meaning. As with many of Ms. Montgomery’s stories the meaning behind this one is all about body positivity and I love it. If you are looking for a warm and cozy mystery book to curl up with on a rainy day then I highly recommend Betrayal at The Beach.

Montgomery – Review by Stephanie Nicole
Sunshine Baker work in the Bryce Beach Public Library as a YA and she has been working with the Friends of the Library Committee to organise and throw their yearly Gala to raise funds for the library, as well as her role at the library itself and has been enjoying every minute of it and as the night of the gala arrives, she is hoping that everything will go well and that the invitees will enjoy the evening. From the start it looks like everyone is having fun and the catering, magician act and music are keeping everyone entertained, when the food is served and she finds out that she has to make the first speech and introductions, she is terrified, but manages to get through it and the rest of the evening inscathed, that is until after they have counted the donations and are presenting the total to the audience when there is a crashing of glass and a scream where the crowd is shocked into panic. The Founding Fathers Bible, a priceless artifact has been stolen and when Sunshine goes to check on the donations in the locked room, she is devastated to find out that they have been stolen too.
The police are called and statements are made, but when she arrives at work on the Monday morning, the Chief of Police is there to see her and ask her some questions, however, she is surprised to find out that they suspect one of the employees and that they need the information of all who had access to the room that the donations were being kept in, whether they were at the Gala or not. This has Sunshine worrying and this is increased even more when she goes to see the head of the Library and is asked for her opinion and then to look into it in her own time as well. This spurs her onto asking questions of her friends Evangeline and Molly, drawing up a list of attendees and talking through the events of the night again, but all this does is throw suspicion around with no strong leads bar one, so the next day Molly and Sunshine make plans to talk to them, but in a non-threatening way to try and glean some more information from them about that night. As these conversations take place, more tidbits and accusations are thrown around which are making Sunshine feel even more uncomfortable as they are mostly pointing towards one of her friends and another colleague as the police appear to be less than interested.
As the stakes are raised and jobs are on the line, will Sunshine and her amateur sleuthing skills solve the mystery before jobs and a priceless artefact are lost forever? This is a cozy mystery which will keep you guessing through to the end as the hunt for answers throws light upon a small community with secrets and stories to tell.

This is the first book in the Dangerous Curves series and it was a really enjoyable read. The author does a good job of building the scene and character. The descriptions of both make this story come alive. It is a cosy mystery which keeps you guessing.
Sunshine Baker works in the library. When their is a robbery that takes most of the donations for the library and a precious heirloom that is significant for the town, Sunshine along with her friends decide that together they are going to solve the mystery of this disappearance and find out who was being the theft before its too late.

Montgomery – Review by Kerry Carr
Betrayal at the Beach is the first book in the Dangerous Curves series by K.L Montgomery. This is something a little different to what Ms. Montgomery has done in the past- as this is a cozy Christian mystery, so I wasn’t sure of what to expect, but knew anything she wrote was going to be good- and of course, it was. I loved the setting, Bryce Beach, a small town beach community- as well as all the quirky and interesting inhabitants of the town. It was the perfect setting and cast for a cozy mystery, so I was hooked right from the start. Sunshine Baker is one of the local librarians who has worked incredibly hard on the annual fundraising gala hoping to raise enough funds to keep the library running. As the night arrives, Sunshine hopes everything will run smoothly as there is a lot riding on the night’s success. Just when Sunshine begins to think the night couldn’t have been better, a robbery brings the festivities to a screeching halt. Not only has the thief taken the large amount of donations, but also a priceless antique that is steeped in historical significance for all the township. It is now up to Sunny, and her friends, to get to the bottom of it all, to find the thief and return the funds and heirloom, before it’s too late. This was such a fun little adventure and a fantastic start to a wonderful new series. I can’t wait for book #2.

This is the first book in the Dangerous Curves series. This is a Cozy Mystery novel and is 234 pages. This story follows Sunshine, Molly and Evangeline. When a library treasure and funds go missing, Sunshine and her library coworkers are on the case! Sunshine was tasked with planning the annual library gala, but the money raised, and the library’s 400-year-old Bible is stolen. The only problem is the only experience they have is what they have read in books. And to make matters worse, one of her coworkers could be the thief.

Betrayal at the Beach is an endearing tale of mystery and suspense. The main character has a wonderful, self-deprecating sense of humor that adds a lightness to the criminal tale. I love the interwoven support system that Sunshine has in her not-so-perfect life. She is very relatable and empathetic. It’s a feel good story that will have you guessing until the very end!

Montgomery- Review by LeeAnn Leonard
Betrayal at the Beach by K.L. Montgomery a thrill of a five-star read. This has it all, a great story, librarians, and a mystery thrown in for good measure. I adore this author and all of the hats they wear; I enjoy how each story has its own details, there isn’t a scene that doesn’t fit, just because it may be what they are known for, it adds more power to each story. I started this one after being on a massive reading binge and was expecting that my great reading would start to slow, but this just added more excitement to my reading, it kept me guessing and just added to my love of reading overall. I am always excited to see a librarian as a character in a story and this gave me joy in spades.

Montgomery – Review by Sara Oxton
KL Montgomery is one of my absolute favorites when it comes to inclusive and sweet romance reads. When I saw that her newest series had a curvy redheaded librarian at the helm of a cozy mystery I knew I had to get my hands on it and as soon as it dropped. I was so excited that I opened this book in the evening the moment the kiddos went to bed and I actually had it wrapped up and finished later that night. It was SO SO good I just could not put this down. I’m talking my kindle came with me to the bathroom, that good! Not sorry either lol. Sunshine is just about everything I wanted to be in a past life I think. I always have wanted to be a librarian a bit and this made me feel as if I was living vicariously with the vivid descriptions and chapters that made me feel as if I was right there with the characters experiencing everything as it happened in Bryce Beach. I am so thrilled to come back to this series in the near future again and again. The best part is this is a series I feel will be perfect to share with my growing and blossoming teen and pre-teen daughters. I think they will love this one and it has some underlying lessons that can be learned for them that will be well worth the investment of the time. This is one series you do not want to miss!

Betrayal at the Beach by K. L. Montgomery is the first in the Dangerous Curves Series. Sunshine Baker is a Young Adult Librarian in Bryce Beach. This year, she is planning the annual Gala. Since the funds at the library have been cut short, the Gala is the only hope of maintaining the library and it’s employees. When the Bible signed by the town’s founders and the proceeds from the Gala go missing, Sunshine makes it her personal mission to find the person responsible.
This is a feel good, must read! I love the way body positivity and Christianity were both encompassed in this story. Light-hearted and a joy to read.

I really like this author and I was really looking forward to this story and as usual I wasn’t disappointed. It was such a lovely book to read, the story flowed really well and I loved the characters. Sunshine really was a joy to read about, she certainly lived up to her name! I loved the mystery of the storyline and it definitely kept my interest throughout. One of the many things I love about this author is how she makes her characters so body positive, it really makes her characters so relatable – I just adore the way in which she writes. I loved this book; it is definitely one of my favourites from this author and as always, I can’t wait for her next book release! Betrayal at the Beach is a must read and I highly recommend it!

OH MY GOODNESS!!! This was a great read!! I am huge on watching mystery shows and still missed the clues on whodunit. Sunshine is distraught that the town’s most prized treasure; the town’s Bible with the founding father’s signatures in it, and the proceeds of the gala she had orchestrated to help the library stay open are stolen. Only the town’s elite people, members of the library foundation, and the library employees are at the gala where they were stolen from. Who would have done such a thing? Will the police listen to her views and ideas? The main characters in this book just jump off the page. I would be friends with them. I love that the book ends with an extra mystery, I am very encouraged to read the next book, so maybe I can solve the case.

Betrayal at the Beach (Dangerous Curves Book 1) by K.L. Montgomery
5 +++++ Stars
The Cozy Mystery genre has quickly become one of my favorites recently and when I saw that one of my favorite authors ever had one coming out I absolutely had to have it. Then I realize it’s going to be a series!! Win, Win!!
I had really high hopes for this book and in Classic KL Montgomery fashion those were met and included more. I loved this book…I felt like Sunshine’s right hand man on this one, I suspected everyone and couldn’t put the story down until I knew how it ended. Then I was left with yet another mystery I see coming in the future. I loved Mom and Dad, they made me smile, and I’m left with a lot of curiosity about Chief James. I can not wait for the next book to be available, and I love the covers on these books, they seem so inviting, and they will look so nice on my bookshelf!
I will absolutely read anything this author comes out with, she has written 2 of my favorites of all time and I can’t recommend her and her books enough.

Montgomery continues to be a one click author for me and this entry into the cozy mystery genre was a grand slam home run. Everything about this book was sheer perfection. From the sassy and quirky heroine to the setting to the pacing to the character development, every component of this book just complimented the next. This quick light hearted whodunit will leave you smiling and wanting more. If you are looking for a clean, fun, cozy mystery to curl up with, you have found a winner. Bring on the rest of the series STAT!

Montgomery – Review by Heather Lovelace
Betrayal at the Beach (Dangerous Curves Book1) by K.L Montgomery is a fun, entertaining cozy mystery. Sunshine Baker is the Young Adult librarian in her hometown of Bryce Beach. Sunshine is tasked with planning the annual Friends of the Library Gala this year. The Gala is very important to the library because funds have been cut and the Library needs all the help it can get from this fundraiser. Of all the possible things Sunshine had worried about happening at the Gala, theft of the money raised and of the 400 year old bible that was brought over by the town’s founding members at the Gala wasn’t one of them. When Sunshine finds out that the police think one of the library employees planned the theft, she vows to find the culprit!
This is the first book I’ve read by this author. I really enjoyed reading this book and can’t wait to read the next book in the series. I love that Sunshine and her librarian friends are women with curves. We all come in different shapes and sizes and this book shows that everyone is important.

K.L. Montgomery is an amazing writer. I have read her books before and I knew I would like this book as well. Her plotline is a simple mystery. She makes you feel like you are a part of the story. Her characters are simple but complex at the same time. Sunshine is the librarian for the small town of Bryce Beach. She was in charge of finding the person(s) involved in robbing the library. She is a bit nervous because her job depends on her finding the culprits. Can Sunshine and her squad find the stolen items? Will the robber be a colleague? I highly recommend this sweet cozy story.

This is my first Cozy Christian read and I truly LOVED it!! I loved the story and the mystery behind this book. Who wouldn’t love the name of the main character of Sunshine Baker. I loved the great friendship between Sunshine and her girlfriends. At first I thought I figured out the “who done it”, but I was quite surprised I did not. I just loved the overall clean, easy to read story. I would definitely recommend this great cozy mystery. It is a great read and hard to put down. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Montgomery – Review by Lorralei Hoerner
This was a breath of fresh air to read! Sunshine and her friends are wonderfully written Christian characters. The characters all had pluck, were realistic and relatable. It was fun to try and guess who the real culprit of the theft was and in the end to be surprised! I look forward to book two and finding out who Sunshine’s admirer is. I have my suspicions…

Montgomery – Review by Desiree Ottinger
Betrayal at the Beach: A Cozy Christian Mystery by K.L. Montgomery is the first book in the Dangerous Curves series. This is a fantastic book that is so entertaining from start to finish. It is a little different from what this author has written previously but it has been done so well that you would never realise. The characters are all so interesting and all have the perfect role within the story. I also loved the fact that Sunshine actually felt like a normal person – it was so easy to imagine her and relate to her as though she is someone you would see on the street everyday. I always enjoy books written by this author and this one is definitely no exception. It is entertaining from start to finish and a great start to a new series. I am already looking forward to book 2!

I thoroughly enjoyed this enjoyable and engaging cozy mystery which is the first book in a new series about YA librarian and amateur sleuth Sunshine Baker, and is set in the fictional small town of Bryce Beach. Sunshine who is a curvy redheaded librarian who despite her surname can’t bake works at the Bryce Beach Public Library and she jumps into action when there is a mystery to solve. When the proceeds from the library’s annual fundraising gala and Bryce Beach’s Bible, a priceless historical artefact which contains the town’s founding fathers’ signatures goes missing, Nancy Drew fan Sunshine despite no sleuthing experience is keen to discover the culprit. However she soon starts to wonder if it’s one of her own colleagues who is out to destroy the library. I love Sunshine and her catchphrase of “Jesus, take the wheel!”, she makes a great main character who really does bring the whole story together. Her colleagues, children’s librarian Molly Simmons and cataloguer Evangeline Dupree both bring different elements to the story and I loved the relationships and dialogue between the fellow librarians. The descriptive narrative really bought both the characters and the setting to life and I felt immersed in the story as though I was on the adventure alongside Sunshine. The plot twists kept me guessing until the end and I was gripped by the storyline and found I could not put this book down. ‘Betrayal at the Beach’ is the first book in the new ‘Dangerous Curves’ cozy Christian mystery series, and this is a great introduction to Sunshine and Bryce Beach. I look forward to reading the future books in this series and being back in the Bryce Beach Public Library with Sunshine and her colleagues.

Montgomery – Review by Jennifer Gordon
Betrayal at the Beach: A Cozy Christian Mystery by K.L. Montgomery is the first in the Dangerous Curves Book series. I was excited to pick up another book by this author because I have enjoyed her other books. This was no exception. We are taken to Bryce Beach and get to follow Sunshine as she uncovers what happened to the missing Library Gala fundraising money. Sunshine is a perfect name for this character because she just exudes happiness. I love her background of sleuthing knowledge and her devotion not only to the library but to her town. This is a great start to a fun, easy reading series. This was the perfect curl up with a cup of tea and read type of book. I look forward to more adventures in this new series.
