Review: Bound by Disaster (Beach Bound Books and Beans Mysteries #2) by Christy Barritt

About the Book
Talitha Robinson is knee-deep in renovations as she prepares to open her new bookstore when a body washes ashore on Lantern Beach. While news of the suspicious death surges across the island, a stranger comes knocking on Tali’s door, begging her to endorse his unfinished suspense novel.

Unable to dissuade the author, Tali is left holding his manuscript in her hands. But she has no idea of the peril written on its pages.

Mac MacArthur has kept his distance from Tali since they uncovered a shocking connection about their pasts. But when someone begins to act out the murderous scenes from the book, one victim at a time, Mac’s protective instincts override his decision to stay away.

As danger escalates, Mac and Tali must manage their conflicting feelings as they work together to stop this killer . . . before the last chapter is written.

Bound by Disaster is book 2 in a four-book series of cozy suspense novellas featuring Tali and Mac and set in Lantern Beach. Although the main mystery is resolved in each novel, some threads will continue throughout the entire Beach Bound Books and Beans mystery series.

Available in Kindle Unlimited at time of posting

MY THOUGHTS

This was a great continuation of Tali and Mac's story. I love these two characters!

After the shocking revelation of a connection from their pasts, (talk about awkward!) Mac and Tali are doing their best to avoid one another. But when a killer shows up on the island and seems to be taking cues from an unpublished manuscript that Tali just received, they work together to try and stop the murderer from striking again.

The mystery was great and kept me guessing. I had my suspicions about the culprit, but there were plenty of other suspects with just as much motive.

I can't wait for the next book! I'm excited to see what mysteries Mac and Tali encounter next.

FOUR STARS
