Dune to Death

Summary: Cute but simple mystery...
Review: I always love Mary Daheim's sweet, cozy mysteries. This one is more simple than most, with only a novice mystery reader not being able to figure out the situation early on. But still a worthy read.

Summary: Well Dune Mystery
Review: In this mystery, Bed-and-breakfast hostess Judith McMonigle and her new husband, Police Lieutenant Joe Flynn, are on their honeymoon at Buccaneer Beach. But during a dune buggy ride, Joe crashes the buggy, breaking his leg. Judith calls her cousin Renie who agrees to stay with her while Joe is in the hospital. Soon after Renie arrives, they find their landlady dead in their cottage, strangled to death with a kite string. Never one to pass up a mystery, Judith and Renie investigate the murder, as well as look for a buried treasure. Can they solve the mystery and find the treasure before returning home?

This is another fun "cozy" mystery by Mary Daheim. There are tons of humorous moments in this book. It's well plotted and, while I was able to figure out who the murderer was near the end of the book, there were still a few twists and turns that I didn't see coming.

I've read several of these bed and breakfast books by Mary Daheim and I enjoy them more and more. Highly recommended!
