Book Description:
On the night of her engagement, Rae Lynn Dobbs stumbles across a dead body on the beach of White Sands, Florida. Not only does she recognize the murder victim as one of the retirement-home residents where she serves dinner, but it looks increasingly likely that someone there also killed him.
To her fiancé’s dismay, Rae Lynn launches her own investigation. Between the gossipy widows, the home’s last surviving bachelor, and her coworkers, Rae Lynn doesn’t have any shortage of suspects. But the more she learns, the more it seems anyone could be guilty. And if she doesn’t find out “whodunit” quickly, her fiancé might just become fed up enough to leave.
My Book Review:
What's a girl to do when she has just gotten engaged on the beach and stumbles upon a dead elderly man that she knows from the assisted living facility where she works? Why become an amateur sleuth and investigate the murder of course!
Murder in White Sands is an entertaining chick lit cozy mystery tale that follows Rae Lynn Dobbs as she investigates the murder of elderly Mr. Ralph. Author Marla Bradeen weaves a fun cozy mystery tale set in White Sands, Florida, that easily draws the reader into amateur sleuth Rae Lynn Dobb's attempt to solve the murder of The Village resident Mr. Ralph.
With a great mixture of humor and mystery, Rae Lynn and a quirky group of residents from the assisted living facility take the reader on a fun whodunit adventure with crazy antics, uncovering of clues, and a growing list of suspects that easily keeps the reader guessing as they try to solve the murder. And if that isn't enough, Rae Lynn also has to deal with her fiance Caleb's growing disapproval of her conducting the investigation. So come along and join in Rae Lynn's madcap investigative adventure behind the closed doors of The Village assisted living facility!
Murder in White Sands is an enjoyable chick lit / cozy mystery story that will keep the reader in stitches.

About The Author
Marla Bradeen previously worked as a software consultant and analyst. In 2012, she gave up a traditional job for no other reason than to have more time to pursue personal interests, such as sleeping in late and taking naps. Although she misses seeing regular deposits into her bank account, she hasn’t once regretted that decision.
She didn’t initially intend to begin writing novels, but after several weeks of doing nothing, she realized sleeping all day isn’t as easy or enjoyable as her cats led her to believe. Over the ensuing months, she wrote Lethal Injection, which she self-published in 2013.
