The Blake Sisters go all out to plan a blowout girls weekend for their mothers 60th Birthday. They plan on lots of spa, sun and sand along with alcohol for a fun weekend. Their plans are interrupted when a body is found on a massage table at the spa where they are scheduled for treatment. The masseuse that they had appointments with is implicated. The group had dinner with the victim the prior evening and the masseuse had stopped by his house. The sisters are already involved by being at the spa when the body is discovered but they get further involved when they decide to solve the mystery and prove that the accused person is innocent. I recommend this book.

A prequel to the Blake Sisters Travel Mysteries in which we meet, Blake sisters, Whitt and Finley together with relatives and friends, all heading out for a birthday celebration. Plans soon go awry, however, with the discovery of a body. Can the clues be joined to find a murderer? Enjoyable, short read and an entertaining introduction to the series to come.

This book was a short and fun read. The characters were personable, and the story held my full attention. I look forward to reading more books by this author. I highly recommend this book to other mystery readers.

As I had already read Murder in the Medina before reading this book, I did not find any difficulty in following the story or the characters, However, I would have loved this book better if there was a backstory to the characters (more than what is explained in this book and the next.)
The mystery behind the murder was okay - since the crime happens in the second half of the book, there wasn't a lot of clues for the Blake Sisters to explore. Overall, this was a pretty good novella.
Rating: 3.5/5
