With an all-expense paid second honeymoon in hand, Kim and Brien head back to the luxurious Sanctuary Resort & Spa. But no sooner do they arrive trouble is brewing. Kim and Brien find themselves way over their heads with troubled monks, arson, kidnapping, and a murder.

This is the third book in the Corsario Cove mystery series. Having not read the first two, I did not find it difficult to get to know the characters, their backgrounds, and previous adventures. Both Kim and Brien are very likable characters. Kim is a throwback to the 60’s beach blanket bingo era and even likes to call her sweetie Moondoggie and he calls her Gidget. Brien is a surfer dude who is head over heels for Kim. While some of Brien’s actions make him appear a bit dense, he seems to always come up with something profound. The two make a great couple and sleuthing team.

This is a fun fast-paced cozy mystery filled with quirky characters, a thought out plot, and enough mystery, action, and misadventure to keep the reader’s attention.
