An Inheritance to Die For (Cozy Mysteries To Die For Book 4) by Judy Moore – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

An Inheritance To Die For (Cozy Mysteries To Die For, #4)An Inheritance To Die For by Judy Moore
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In Inheritance to Die For is the 4th book in the Cozy Mysteries to Die for, but it is a stand alone book. I have not read all the books in the series, but I still thoroughly enjoyed this book. Beck owns a book store, but recently obtained her private investigator license. Her college roommate hires her to investigate her father’s death. It has been deemed a suicide, but Jacqueline (the roommate and the victim’s daughter) doesn’t believe that to be the case. She thinks her father was murdered, likely by her stepmom, and hires Beck to prove it. I love the characters in this book, they are all well written with their likes and dislikes of each other. I was happy the mystery held out to the end, and I didn’t know if it would turn out to be a suicide or murder, and if murder, who the killer was. I was a little surprised at the end. I look forward to more books, as I want to see what happens between Beck and Devon.

An Inheritance To Die For hooked me from the first page and I dove into the rest with no hesitation. I love Judy Moore’s books and her writing is just marvelous every single time.

Beck owns a bookstore in Manatee Beach, Florida, but things are about to get more interesting than she could have imagined. Her old, spoiled college roommate calls her to ask for help because she suspects her father has been killed. Beck doesn’t exactly want to help and put up with incessant demands, but she feels solving mysteries is her purpose. Will Beck be able to bring solace to the victim’s daughter, or will she uncover that nothing suspicious happened at all?

This cozy mystery will have you curled up forgetting about everything you’re supposed to be doing. I highly recommend this 4th book in the Cozy Mysteries series, it’s totally worth it!

I enjoyed reading this mystery story. This is the fourth book in this series which I enjoyed by this author. I have enjoyed this author’s writing skills from the first book I picked up from her. This is a well written story about a farther’s murder or was it suicide? This is a story that also has a touch of romance added to it. You don’t want to miss what happens in this book between Beck and Devon. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. I found the characters to be relatable and truly made the story for me. They have great growth throughout the story which makes it easy and entertaining to read. I really enjoyed what the characters added to the story. I highly recommend this book and this author.

An Inheritance to Die For is the fourth stand-alone book in the Cozy Mysteries to Die For series by Judy Moore. Beck O’ Rourke is investigating the death of her college roommate’s father. This was the first book that I have read in this series and I greatly enjoyed Beck’s feisty personality. There was good chemistry between Beck and Devon and both the main and side characters are well-written. The plot is entertaining and there are twists that keep you on your toes. This is a very solid read. I will be going back to read the other three books.

An Inheritance To Die For (Cozy Mysteries To Die For #4) by Judy Moore

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. An Inheritance To Die For is a great book and had me hooked from the beginning. This is the fourth book in the Cozy Mysteries To Die For Series.

Beck is called by an old roommate and she needs help. Beck isn’t exactly sure what she’s getting herself into. When she gets down there she finds that it could be any of them that murdered her friends father. The quote I chose for Beck is: “It wasn’t just about the new will, was it, Elliott? It was also about the old will. You were the executor. You knew what it said. You wanted Oliver to hear those horrible last words his father had for him. Words that his son would never forget. Words that would forever turn him against his father and cement his relationship with you.”

Highly recommended for Cozy Mystery lovers.

This is the fourth book in the series of Cozy Mysteries to Die For. It is a standalone book. I did not feel like I had missed anything from the prior books in the series. Beck is a newly licensed Private Investigator. Her old college roommate, Jacqueline, wants to hire her for her first paid PI job. While in college Beck did not like how Jacqueline had acted so was hesitant to take the job. Once Beck arrives she sees Jacqueline’s same actions and wonders if she made a mistake. Jacqueline’s father died and the police are saying it was a suicide. However, Jacqueline is determined that it wasn’t, but that it was murder. Beck is there to find out the truth and will do whatever it takes to find out the real answer. I enjoyed this book and it was an easy read.

This book shows that people change for the better as they grow older. I am glad Beck was able to find a good friend in Jacqueline.

This is the fourth instalment of the Cozy Mysteries to Die for series (which I am silly and did not realize) however! They do say they can be standalones.

I found this book well balanced, easy to read, and it kept my attention right to the end! Beck was an awesome character and I will definitely be reading more of the series!!

Is this the end of the series? I sure hope not! Beck has finally been licensed as a PI and has gotten her first big case. Her roommate from Freshman year of college called her to investigate the untimely death of her father. He was set to meet his lawyer to make up a new will but was found dead of an apparent suicide. With some many people standing to inherit millions who is to blame? Was it Jacqueline or her twin? Maybe their younger brother? Was it the wife who was about to cut off or maybe her son? With so many people to look into Beck definitely has a lot of work ahead of her. Add to that a budding romance with Devon. Are they dating informally? Will they become exclusive? If you liked the other books in this series you will definitely like this one as well.

An Inheritance to Die For is the fourth stand-alone book of the Cozy Mystery series by Judy Moore. As a person who hasn’t had the chance to read the previous books in the series (yet!), Ms. Moore has done a truly excellent job of creating a stand-alone installment. This fast-paced read follows Beck as she heads to Miami to investigate the death of her former roommates father. The characters are intriguing and introduced in such a way that readers can develop their own theories as we follow Beck through the quagmire of clues. This is a perfect read if you enjoy a nice mystery.

An Inheritance to Die For is the fourth book in the Cozy Mysteries To Die For series by Judy Moore. As I have mentioned before, I really love a great cozy mystery, and Ms. Moore doesn’t disappoint with intriguing storylines, murder, crime & investigation, drama, suspense, danger, intrigue, family, friendship, and interesting, quirky characters.
This story is very well developed and well-woven- with lots of clever touches that kept me turning the pages to find out what was going to happen and how everything would be tied up at the end. And as with the other books in the series, Ms. Moore cleverly built the suspense and tension- holding my attention the whole way through the story.
We follow Beck to Miami, as she endeavors to help her college roommate figure out a suspicious suicide that leaves millions of dollars at stake. What happens makes for a great read.
Looking forward to Book #5!

Thank you, Judy Moore!

This cozy mystery was definitely an interesting one. When I first read the title I wasn’t sure it was for me but after reading the synopsis and looking at the beautiful colors in the cover I decided to give it a shot. The cast of characters are quirky and everyone is mysterious in their own way. But that’s not all this cozy mystery had it was also full of adventure, drama, humor and so much more. While I have never read anything by this author before I will definitely be looking for more.

An Inheritance to Die For is the fourth book in the Cozy Mysteries To Die For series. I was delighted to see a new book in this series. For those who haven’t read the previous books, this can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading the earlier books first. Beck is excited to be on the case again. This time it takes her to Miami and the family upheaval of a former college roommate.
I enjoyed this book as I had the earlier books in the series. This one deals with relationships and how they can influence perceptions and events. I liked seeing how Beck has grown and how she is coming into her own. It was also interesting to see some people who knew Beck while in school versus those who know her now. I look forward to reading more in this series and author in the future.

Having read and enjoyed the previous books in this series I was looking forward to this fourth novel, and I was not disappointed. It was lovely being back with Beck O’Rourke, who feels like an old friend now, and I enjoyed following alongside her as she traveled to Miami, to investigate the possible suicide or murder of her college roommate’s father. It was also great being back at the now much loved setting of the ‘Beach Reads’ bookstore and café, “a block off the ocean in quaint Manatee Beach, Florida”. Beck is taking on her first paid job as a private investigator, following three successful murder investigations as an amateur. For this investigation Beck has to enter her spoiled freshman roommate’s privileged world and meet her fractured family, to discover if the death of Benjamin Greene, who’s heirs stand to inherit millions from his death was a suicide or in fact murder.

Beck believes his death the night before he was meeting with his lawyer, to change his will, may be more than a coincidence. Alongside Beck are regulars Miss Alice, her spirited grandmother, her feisty lifeguard sister Lizzie, and Beck’s love interest, Police detective Devon Mathis. Another gripping cozy mystery crime story in this enjoyable and engaging series, which had me hooked from start to finish. The characters are so well defined they feel like old friends and the descriptive narrative brings the settings vividly to life. I look forward to book five and being back with Beck once more!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An Inheritance to Die For is the fourth book in the Cozy Mysteries To Die For series, which centres around bookshop owner Beck O’Rourke who has by this stage been involved in solving enough murders that she’s qualified as a private investigator. The books work fine as standalones, but it’s fun to read the whole series and get to know the characters like grandmother Alice, beach bum Scratchoff and dishy detective Devon.
In this book, Beck is summoned to Maine by an old college roommate who is convinced her father’s apparent suicide is anything but. Beck must work out whether Jacqueline is simply struggling with her grief and deep-seated dislike of her stepmother, or whether there’s actually substance to her suspicions.
This is an entertaining read! We join Beck as she grapples with the intense personalities and complicated relationships of a privileged family she thought she’d never have to see again. There are plenty of clues and twists to keep readers guessing who really killed Mr Greene, and why.
At the same time, Beck is trying to work out where her relationship with Devon is going. He seems keen to spend time with her, but always leaves it until the last minute to organise anything. Does that mean he’s not serious about her?
This is a lovely series for fans of cozy mysteries. Great characters, a wonderful coastal setting and a light tone (in spite of the high mortality rate…). I’d recommend reading the full series but you can absolutely start here if you’d prefer! It gets five stars from me.

This is the perfect busy life read! Life can get busy where you go a couple days without getting the chance to read then lose interest in a book, but not this one! Every single chapter will have you enthralled; you won’t want to put it back down. It’s an easy to follow fun mystery that lets you connect with the characters and root for their small victories- sometimes that victory is hitting the ball over the net, sometimes it’s simply just hitting the ball!

I really enjoyed reading this uncomplicated cozy mystery novel and having not read the first two books in this stand alone series I can’t wait to go find them. Beck is living my dream life and I’m excited to see where we go next!

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!
