Pineapple Beach House: A Pineapple Port Mystery

Pineapple Port Mysteries, Book 5

By: Amy Vansant

Narrated by: Rosemary Benson

When the Pineapple Port crew packs up a snake-bus and head to North Carolina for a vacation, the Outer Banks will never be the same....

Wall Street Journal and USA TODAY best-selling author Amy Vansant packs up the Pineapple Port crew and sends them north in Book Five of the hilarious mystery series you won't believe!

The Pineapple Port crew takes a road trip to the Outer Banks, North Carolina, only to discover “body bits” in their vacation home. The nursing home next door is run by some suspicious characters, and one of their residents is missing. Hmm.... As the bits o' somebody pile up (and Mariska keeps them neat and safe in a butter dish), amateur sleuth Charlotte Morgan and her friends must solve the murder before a storm blows them all back to Florida!

The Pineapple Port Mystery Series is both sweet and wicked, and always hilarious! Fans of funny mysteries that remain real puzzles to the end will put the Pineapple Port series on their virtual shelves next to Janet Evanovich, Carl Hiaasen, and Jana DeLeon.

Quirky characters and unusual crime

I very much enjoyed this delightful crew of quirky characters. The unique part about this cast of characters is the mix of ages between seniors and 20 somethings. Both groups enjoy each others company and easily tolerate each others foibles. You can tell they know each other well and like spending time together. They make you happy to be spending time with them as well.

The mystery was quite well presented with plenty of red herrings and misleading clues. It was definitely not obvious and left me guessing to the end. Our young detective, Charlotte, was able to solve the puzzle just before the police finally arrived, which made her feel vindicated and worthy of her new private detective license expected any day in the mail.

cozy mystery

this is the first book I've listened to by this author and I can say that I highly enjoyed it. The performance was spot on and even though this is book 5 in the series I feel like it could totally be a stand alone. I didn't feel lost at all. These characters where so full of personality and the narrator was able to bring that to life (as well as the author - of course)! Sweet and fun and full of twists that will keep you guessing on who done it!

Beach Vacations Will Never Be The Same

Loved the characters and and their reactions to the "finds" in the house. Pay very close attention to the beginning of the story. Humor and yuck will go hand and hand as you work your way through this story. Great job of keeping the story characters ' voices differentiated.

Witty, Wacky so darn good!

When I first read the book I was blown away by how many funny one-liners this book had. Yes, it is a mystery but the characters are so over the top that you just shake your head and love every minute you spend reading about their adventure. I got the audible version of this mystery and as much as I loved reading it the narrator Rosemary Benson took it one step more. Do yourself a favor get the audiobook it will make your day!

A Humorous Mystery

This mystery had a lot of humor! Who knew that finding body bits could be so funny rather than gory? The plot kept me guessing about how many victims, who did it, and the motivation. The ending was a surprise that I didn't see coming. The narrator did a great job with all of the various voices too. This audio book was entertaining and original,
