A chilling cozy mystery that will have you gripping the edge of your beach chair ...

Escape to the sun-kissed Aerie Islands, where reporter Roland "Beanie" Bean has planned the perfect family vacation. But as the ocean breeze whispers through the palm trees, danger lurks in the shadows, and Beanie finds himself entangled in another mystery.

On an idyllic drive to a picturesque sandbar, Beanie's family vacation takes a sharp turn when a swerving car nearly runs them off the road. Moments later, they discover the car abandoned, crashed into the jungle brush. Down a rocky cliff, Beanie spots a nervous trio on the beach who quickly flee the scene. But the real shock comes when a bloodied young man-none other than a lifeguard from their resort-stumbles towards Beanie and collapses at his feet.

Beanie's former intern, Joshua, now a fledgling reporter for the Aerie Observer, arrives on the scene to cover the car crash. But the plot thickens when it's revealed that the lifeguard didn't die from the accident-he was poisoned by lethal snake venom. With a reluctant Beanie by his side, the dynamic duo dives into a treacherous investigation to uncover the truth behind the deadly mystery.

As they peel back the layers of the lifeguard's shadowy past, Beanie and Joshua find themselves tangled in a sinister web of secrets that stretches throughout the resort staff. Could the culprit be a fellow employee with a dark motive? Or perhaps the lifeguard's vengeful ex-girlfriend, a zoo worker with access to venomous serpents?

In Summer Vacation Murder, Beanie and Joshua race against the clock to unravel a tapestry of clues and red herrings that lead them deeper into danger.

This charming holiday cozy mystery will keep you guessing with twists and turns that lead to an unforgettable conclusion.

Will Beanie and Joshua crack the case before they become the next victims of a devious killer?
