Resorting to murder is never restful

Posted on May 6, 2021 by michellelovatosbookreviews, world's first book color commentator, book reviews with a twist

How can murder possibly benefit a southwestern United States resort lodge? Ask Julianne. She will tell you that it can’t.
Perhaps that is why our dear, smart traveling resort-chain software trainer is so interested in solving the Santa Fe murder of a high-profile businessman uniquely clad with a rather dangerous arrow protruding through his paunch. Especially after he grabs her ankle and, in his dying breath, somehow indicates to Julianne that it is time for her to don her super sleuth suit and sniff the killer out from the corner shadows.
This is no Steve Martin Comedy routine, all you readers old enough to giggle instantly at the absurd murder weapon. Instead, it is one of those unfortunate times when death is decidedly dealt to the dummy in the arrow suit laying on the floor.
Never fear, of course. Our razor-sharp heroine is on the job. And Julianne is about to slice a cucumber of clues to solve this senseless, savage, slaying.
Life becomes complicated when Mason, her over-attentive love blade, stabs at the dark as he wields his weapon against Julianne’s enemies and helps her, sort of, smooth over the seamless sinking of someone we all know is superfluous. The Enchanted Canyon Resort in New Mexico will never be the same.
Enter Mason’s former love interest. Why? How? Boy, it’s a small world.
She wants Mason back and forces Julianne to do double duty, defending her sweetheart and solving a murder simultaneously.
Daniels dives deep into Indigenous Indian lore as she weaves this fast, fun plot planted deeply among the weeds of deception and disaster.
Arrowed is book four in the A Resort Murder series, a follow-up to Daniel’s first three books that can serve as a stand-alone title as easily as reading it in the series order.

This was a sweet book and the descriptions of the resort locations were excellent. But the premise for why the protagonist Julienne was solving the crime was flimsy and the narrative lacked tension. I also figured out who the murderer was the moment their character was introduced. But if you enjoy a lighthearted read, it was a nice relaxing read.

This is a fun read with good character development and a well-crafted plot. There’s plenty of interesting banter, intrigue, and red herrings. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series. I recommend this book to younger and older adults alike. It’s clever, it’s fun and it keeps you engrossed in the mystery. Well done.

I missed the first three books but that is a mistake I need to correct. Well crafted story, excellently plotted mystery, and an enjoyable read all-around.

Arrowed was a delight and the fourth book in the Avery Daniel's Resort to Murder Mysteries.

The story begins with a dying man with an arrow in his chest. Yes, I said an arrow. Julienne finds herself getting involved in the case to try and solve the mystery.

The book keeps you guessing until the end and the characters are all well-crafted.

Definitely a fun read!

I enjoyed this book. I had a good time getting to know the characters. I felt like they spend a lot of time going over the suspects. I was happy the bad guy got caught although I felt for her circumstances. #Arrowed #NetGalley

A big thank you to NetGalley and Blazing Sword Publishing Ltd for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This book is part of a series. But it reads well as a stand alone. Although I did not quite understand the relationship between Mason and Julienne. The book is full of intrigue...i got caught up in the mystery. I thought Julienne's boss was not helpful. Its a good story, with the ending a bit unexpected. I enjoyed it and would read others. I think most cozy mystery readers would enjoy. 3.5 stars.

An engaging and entertaining cozy mystery. This was my first experience with this series. I like the protagonist. Clever murder weapon. Surprising full involvement in the solving the case. Good atmosphere description. A smidgeon of paranormal.

Arrowed earns 5/5 Bows & Arrows...Engaging Entertainment!

Bullseye! Avery Daniels has penned another exciting adventure in the fourth book of her Resort to Murder series, but this time, set in New Mexico with delightful references to Mexican and Native American culture, food, and a fascinating legend of a vengeful brave to hang a murder on. Julienne LeMere’s boss has sent her to his new acquisition, the Enchantment Canyon Resort, a “mind, body, and spirit wellness” retreat, tasked to train the staff on new operating procedures, so why not combine business with pleasure? Mason, her now official boyfriend, is eager to join her on a romantic getaway since way too many of their rendezvous have been interrupted by family or friends, so being six hours away may be the buffer they need. Milling around are guests taking advantage of the healthy activities, peaceful atmosphere, and the corporate facilities for team building and strategy meetings. Eavesdropping isn’t usually Julienne’s MO, but when some don’t realize how easily voices carry, it just happens. Just like murder...an ancient arrow, a curse, and another corporate head bites the dust!

It’s been almost two years since the release of the last book in the series, so revisiting the background and character connections was welcomed...no spoilers to previous investigations. The mystery was clever, not overly complex, easily read in a weekend, with disgruntled employees, a wife with a pre-up, and employees that have nothing glowing to say about the victim, but with the gossip, banter, and various inquiries along with another dead body and...a vision?, it was an engaging challenge to my inner detective. I had a few suspects with motives on my radar, and it was quite the surprise how the final reveal was made. Avery’s writing style is colorful, steady paced, and offers a bit of humor. The well-developed characters are the star with a strong female lead, realistic up and down romance with a hunky ex-marine, and a supporting cast offering quite a range of personalities. And...a delicious drink recipe is included! The Gran Paloma mixes tequila and Gran Marnier into a refreshing respite.

Good book! This book had suspense, intrigue, action, heartbreak and heartache! It was a real who done it too! Which I love! Lol I did figure out who it was pretty early on, wasn't 100% sure but I was right! lol this was a short book kind of it moved very quickly and was definitely worth reading! I would recommend reading this one! Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!
