A Bed and Breakfast Mystery

Wedding photographer Laura Fisher is back in the Florida Keys to help her sister manage the Paradise Bed and Breakfast. Business has been slow, but when a guest is poisoned at a cake tasting, they’re in danger of going under.

It doesn’t help that Laura confronted the victim, her high school boyfriend Charlie Porter, in front of the entire wedding party, declaring he’d answer for his actions one day. Charlie taunts her and laughs off the entire exchange, but the joke’s over when Laura becomes the prime suspect for his murder.

With her sister Danielle and Granny Margaret on her side, Laura’s prepared to confront her past to catch the real killer and prove she’s innocent. If she can’t, not only will she be branded a murderer, the struggling Paradise B&B’s reputation will be ruined and her family will be forced to sell the property.

Laura soon learns how many secrets islands can hide—and if she’s not careful, she may find herself the next victim...


Praise for A.R. Winters:


"The perfect balance of being lighthearted, but still a serious page-turning mystery." - Jaycie D, Amazon.com

"A fun cozy mystery with engaging and entertaining characters" - lq, Amazon.com

"For fans of Janet Evanovich, Rhys Bowen and Jana DeLeon, this is a funny, clean mystery." - Clara B, Amazon.com

This is a humorous cozy mystery featuring a strong female protagonist, some unusual friends and family, and a mystery that needs solving! It has no graphic gore, bad language or sex.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy Reading with Lots of Surprises

Andrew and Danielle own the Paradise Bed and Breakfast but have not had many guests so they may have to sell the property. Then a stroke of good luck came when a couple asks them to handle their wedding. Laura and her family are counting on the money they will get from the wedding so that they will be able to keep their homes.

When Charlie Porter is found dead with no clues to the killer, the wedding may be cancelled causing Laura’s family to sell their home. They can’t let that happen because they will definitely have to sell the property. Laura is very steadfast and determined that this won’t happen. She decides to find the killer to help her family thereby putting herself in danger.

This book has a lot of interesting characters who kept me on the edge of my seat trying to keep up with Laura and figure out who is the culprit. I was totally surprised when I found out who it was.

I love reading A.R. Winters books and was excited to start this new series about sisters, Laura and Danielle and the excitement happening at th B & B. Of course a murder occurs, but it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy, not! Can't wait to read Book #2!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great location setting and liked the key characters a lot

This was a great setting for a wedding venue...if said wedding ever got to take place. After one of the wedding party was murdered, Laura knew she'd need to work fast to find the real killer and make people unafraid of using her sister's B&B/venue. Dealing with an annoying developer who wanted to buy the B&B property was just one of the many headaches. It's too bad someone didn't off him LOL. My favorite character had to be Granny. She was such a hoot. I liked both Laura and Danielle too. They seem to work well together.

I was on the right track with whodunit eventually but kept going back and forth. THe showdown was good, and reinforcements came when they were needed. I'll be borrowing the next one in KU to see if they ever get rid of that developer, ha.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good story

The thing I like about cozy mysteries is the fact they have very little violence in them and lots of everyday people. This story was no exception, except you grow to like the protagonists quite well. The plot is easily followed and the amateur sleuth managed to find the killer just before the police detective does. Not without a lot of spent theories and headaches during the search. Family comes first over everyone else. That matters to me. I definitely recommend this book.

I enjoyed reading this book, but it was confusing at times. It also had a lot of typographical errors in it. It was exciting enough to hold my interest, though. I still recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading a good clean mystery.

While it is an entertaining storyline, the lack of proper editing makes for great confusion. For instance sometimes the kitten is called Coral; other times it is called Coco. This even happens in the same sentence! I have noticed other reviews of this author remarks on this same issue. There are also spelling errors and verb tense errors that add to the confusion
