Flip-Flops and Murder

Barefoot Sleuth Mysteries, Book 1

By: H.Y. Hanna

Narrated by: Pearl Hewitt

English girl Ellie is a "fish out of water" when she arrives in sunny Florida for a vacation with her aunt at a luxury beach resort. But she's barely dipped her toe in the ocean before she stumbles on a sinister murder. Now, Ellie must battle sunburn, jet lag and a cheeky parrot named Hemingway, while trying to unravel the mystery.

With a writers' conference in full flow, there's no shortage of suspects. Is the killer a jealous rival author? Or the victim's secret lover? And why are some of the resort staff behaving so suspiciously? To make things worse, Aunt Olive has gone missing, fueling gossip that she might be on the run. But Ellie is sure that her aunt isn't guilty.

Life gets even more complicated when she starts snooping around the resort. First, there's the resident cat Mojito, who leads Ellie on a wild "gator" chase, and then, there's the handsome resort doctor who sets Ellie's pulse racing in a different way!

As more red herrings than sand dollars wash up on the beach, Ellie must use all her wits to solve the case before her visit to the Sunshine State becomes deadlier than she ever imagined....

Welcome to the deadliest beach resort in Florida in USA Today best-selling author H.Y. Hanna's fun, new mystery series!

Fun mystery!

Funny, entertaining, surprising and makes you anxious to read the next book in the series.

FUN READ AND GOOD MYSTERY

This is my new favorite H. Y Hanna mystery series. Hope there will be more . Love the characters and the narrator. I can't wait for the next Baefoot Sleuth Mystery!

Another Good H.Y. Hanna Series

I have listened to many H.Y. Hanna books and enjoyed them all so I thought I would give this one a try. No disappointment here. Naturally a lot of that enjoyment comes from the as usual great Pearl Hewitt narration.

Cozy Mystery Set in Beach Resort

Flip-Flops and Murder is the first book in a new series by H.Y. Hanna featuring a 20-something English young woman who is in need of a career counselor. She travels to a resort in Florida "to find herself" and to visit her aunt who is attending a writers conference. However, when she arrives her aunt is no where to be found and Ellie gets mixed up with the death of another writer. I've enjoyed H.Y. Hanna's other books so much that this one just didn't seem to draw me in like the other series did. I will have to wait to see where this one develops as I can't imagine that the entire series will be set at a Florida resort. The one bright spot is Pearl Hewitt, who did the narration and she is simply fantastic!

It’s ok

There are definitely elements of the story that I find shaky but despite that it is passes the time. I got it on sale, unless the rest of the series are also on a really good sale I doubt I will continue with the series
