Murder Mystery Book Club is the first book in Florida Keys bed & breakfast cozy mystery by Danielle Collins. It’s a fun series that introduces us to Eva Stewart, the owner of a bed and breakfast in the Florida Keys. Her talkative and nosy parrot fits the name of Hercules Poirot since Eva loves murder mystery books and is a member of a mystery book club.

We are then introduced to Detective Makos, who visits Eva to ask her a few questions about a dead body discovered in the street next to Eva’s bed and breakfast. Eva can’t help but be thrilled by the fact that a murder happened, and the mystery is right in her hands. She points the detective to the kitchen, where he requests a cup of coffee before she can narrate her side of the story.

She informs him as she was leaving her B&B heading to her cottage during a storm last night, she saw a shadowy figure, and that was probably the person responsible for the murder. The detectives then leave, probably heading back to the murder scene, and Eva is left wondering if there could be clues she can figure out where she had seen the shadowy figure. And as she suspected, upon pulling the fronts of a large traveler’s palm, she discovers there are two clear and fine footprints. And upon further investigations on the wrought iron fence further ahead, she finds a piece of denim clothing caught at the top of the post. She rushes to find the detective and provides him with the two pieces of clues she just found in the hopes they will help solve the murder case. Will Eva be able to find the detective and help solve the murder mystery? Or will doing so make her a target of the killer?
