This is the third and what sounds like last book in the Beach Reads Mysteries by Maggie Blackburn, a pen name of Mollie Cox Bryan who wrote the Cora Crafts Mysteries as well as Cumberland Creek Mysteries and the Buttermilk Creek Mysteries. I was sorry to see that this book appears to be the last one in this series, but the epilogue was amazing and the author definitely wrapped it up in a super nice bow.

My Goodreads review:
A Killer Romance by Maggie Blackburn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
It’s been a long almost-three years since the second book was published, so it was good to return to Summer and all her friends and family on the island. I always loved Mia as a character and she didn’t disappoint at all and neither did Glads. Summer’s got an awesome family, but she also has friends that’re like family.
Wow this was one tangled case and admittedly at times I thought it went a bit slow, but when something happened, at least they got on with it pretty quickly. There were lots of secrets and I was never sure who to trust except the main players. The whodunit was a big surprise.
Since there was an epilogue with a very sweet ending taking place a year later, I’m assuming this series isn’t continuing, but I’m really satisfied with how the author perfectly wrapped it up.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book, and my opinions are my own.
