Synopsis from Goodreads:
Tequila is a terrible way to go…
The young woman who’d ordered the double shot margarita took it with wide eyes and a thumbs up as she sampled it through the straw, walking back toward her table in the sand on wobbling platform sandals unsuited to the footing. I grinned and moved on to my next order while Pika expertly cracked two bottles of icy beer and slid them across the polished wooden bar toward the waiting men, one of whom watched my last customer on her meandering and hip wiggling path back to her giggling girlfriends.
How I loved Thursday nights on Canary Key. Are you kidding? How I loved every minute.

My Review
Becks Hogan is living her best life owning a beach bar on Canary Key. Then, a group of women come into her bar ready to party and turn everything upside down.
When one of the group’s members ends up dead in Becks’ bar, there is no choice but to investigate this horrible crime. Otherwise, her bar could be closed down for a long time. It especially becomes important when a friend of hers is accused of the murder.
There are so many potential suspects, plus many red herrings. I can honestly say I didn’t see the real killer coming. I was totally taken off guard and that made the story even more fun.
The storyline is fast-pace and one huge jigsaw puzzle to solve. I kept putting all the pieces in the wrong places.
This is an exciting mystery that will keep you on your toes until the very end.
