    About this audiobook

    South Cove, California, is celebrating St. Patrick's Day-and there's going to be a parade of suspects . . .

    Jill Gardner's store, Coffee, Books, and More, is raking in the green as her little coastal town holds a big festival for St. Patrick's Day. But the locals aren't exactly feeling the luck of the Irish, thanks to the rowdy behavior of some of the tourists who are pouring in.

    Then a woman who just visited Jill's shop is found dead near the shore. The fireworks display on the beach may have already happened, but the real fireworks have just begun . . .

      St. Patrick's Day festivities brought lots of visitors to South Cove. Jill's coffee and book store sold lots. When a young woman who visited the shop turns up dead at the beach, Jill can't resist assisting her boyfriend in the investigation even though he warned her off. This novella presents a quick and fun read for cozy fans or fans of the series. While I read a Christmas novella from the series and enjoyed it, I need to begin the series.

      St. Patrick's Day has arrived in South Cove and crowds or revelers are wondering throughout the town. Alana McDaniel wonders into Coffee Books and More and Jill Gardner, the owner, enjoys a conversation with her. They plan to meet later but before that can happen Alana is found dead on the beach. The holiday festivities and rowdy visitors are keeping the police busy but Jill is able to uncover clues that the police have missed.Love this series and the warm and friendly characters.

      I've really been enjoying these novellas that fill in various bits of time between some of the already published novels. I would be curious to learn if Cahoon had ideas she had to cut from various stories or if she decided to create new pieces--many are holiday themed, so that does seem sort of logical. South Cove is always looking for ways to improve tourist traffic, especially during the off season, so a huge St Patrick's Day parade and fete is apropos. A young girl that Jill chats with at the coffee/book shop winds up dead later on during a bike ride. Knowing the young girl had good news to live for, Jill noses around the case as Greg investigates. The time warp seems even further back this time, Aunt Jackie has just taken up with Harrold and Jill is still in her "I don't know what to call out relationship" phase. But that's alright, because I don't mind at all.

      Corned Beef and Casualties by Lynn Cahoon is A Tourist Trap Mystery Novella (No. 10). The town of South Cove, California is having a full day of festivities in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. Jill Gardner, owner of Coffee, Books and More is looking forward to enjoying dinner and fireworks with her friends after a day of taking care of customers. Alana McDaniel comes into the shop for coffee with a rowdy group of friends who have obviously been overindulging in alcohol as are many of the tourists. Late that night, Detective Greg King is called out to a crime scene. Jill’s customer, Alana has been found dead on the rock cliffs above the beach. Jill immediately goes into investigator mode despite Greg’s pleas to stay out of this case. She checks with local business owners to work out the victim’s timeline and discover who could have harmed Alana. Will Jill solve the crime before the killer flees town?It is always a pleasure to visit South Cove and check in with the residents who live in this small seaside town. I like the cast of characters with their various eccentricities. Lynn Cahoon has a casual writing style that reminds me of talking with a friend. I thought Corned Beef and Casualties was well-written with a nice steady pace throughout. The mystery is uncomplicated and can easily be solved. However, it is just the right type of mystery for this length of book. Personally, I recommend reading The Tourist Trap Mystery series in order. It is the best way to get to know the characters. I have enjoyed watching Jill settle into South Cove, manage her store, get close friends and fall in love. Corned Beef and Causalities is a quick, easy to read cozy mystery novella that is a delightful distraction from reality.

      A St. Patrick's Day festival in the coastal town of South Cove attracts a large crowd of day-trippers causing a chaos of road and foot tourist traffic. A fireworks show closes the days events, except for the discovery of the body of a dead woman on the beach. The town's resident amateur sleuth Jill Gardner steps up to investigate after it is decided that the woman was murdered. Seizing on a clue missed by the police force headed by her boyfriend, Jill manages to identify the culprit. Unlike other amateur detectives she doesn't put herself into jeopardy by trying to capture the killer. The mystery is straightforward and the strongest element of the story. Jill is the standout character among a bland cast; there's no real eccentrics among the lot.It's a tidy whodunit mystery story folded into a novella and set against the background of a California seaside beach town. The story is told at a brisk pace and is a . quick easy read. It's also an introduction to the author's well-established Tourist Trap cozy mystery series.I received my review copy of the book from the publisher via Netgalley. The comments are my own.
