PALM TREES & PROTESTS
Suzie & Mary are worried about a hotel project being built on the Beach near Dune House. The businessman, Albert Yardley, has manipulated Clyde Wellers, the new town manager, to let him "buy the beach". An environmental group is protesting the hotel building. Even Summer, Mary, & Suzie are joining the protesters. Wes & Paul join them. Wes wants Albert to listen to the protesters & he goes to knock on Alberta's door. When he turns the knob & opens the door, he finds Alberta's body. When Wes tells Jason, Mary, Suzie, & Paul, they go in the office to see what they can do to help. The mayor calls Jason, who is now Police Chief, to inform him Deputy Ned Wilkerson. Wes has worked with him before & tell them " You might as well mark this murder as unsolved. That man is too distracted by his own reflection to do any real investigative work." Unfortunately, Ned is walking up & hears what he says. He is rude & hateful to Wes, Jason, Summer, Suzie, Paul, & Mary & tells them to leave the crime scene because they are all his prime suspects! What a jerk! This is a great book & despite Ned's attitude, Mary & Suzie still manage to find clues since the townspeople aren't very cooperative with Ned & his attitude!

Excellent Read!
This book was great, for several reasons! It had mystery, loyal friends, and a quest for the truth. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and trying to figure everything out! Toward the end, I was able to do that! There are an awful lot of people to think about and to try and answer all the questions I had. I'm so glad to have started at the beginning of Suzie and Mary's latest adventures and am looking forward to the next book (#29) of the Dune House Mystery Series!

Suzie and Mary find themselves in the middle of a murder mystery again. This time they are on the suspect list making this case even more difficult to solve. Cindy always has a way of writing these mysteries so you have to keep guessing the ending and never know who did it until the end. This is a cozy and clean mystery with fun characters that are easy to love.
