Review: A great quick beach read just in time for summer!

Carolyn Arnold's latest novella, Vacation is Murder, is a short read packed with an engaging mystery. Set in Cancun, main characters Sean and Sara work their way through a mystery and murder while on their honeymoon. There's action and romance, but it's kept on the softer side. I'm not a fan of romance novels, so I was glad that this side of it was intimated but not detailed. They are heavily sweet in dialog without a lot of stress or fight in their relationship, but when you think back to your honeymoon days it is quite fitting and wouldn't work otherwise. The story line is quick and light - perfect for beach reading! It was my first introduction to her work, and I'm looking forward to seeing how Sean and Sara continue in the next phase of their life. I loved how she quickly hinted to the next chapter at the end of Vacation is Murder. It's definitely a book for those who love the cozy mystery set. I'll be reading more!
