Pineapple Disco: A Pineapple Port Mystery: Book Six by Amy VansantMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The latest in Amy Vansant's series of Pineapple Port books is a change of pace. For once Charlotte is not investigating a murder case. She is looking into a missing person. The problem is that the request comes for a person who does not know the name or address of the person.
I get ahead of myself. If you have not read any of this series I recommend you do. You do not need to in order to understand the story. Any backstory is added in as needed. However, the backstory goes like this. Charlotte's mother died and she was sent to live in Florida with her grandmother. Gram lives in a retirement community called Pineapple Port. Gram dies leaving our hero an orphan. She is allowed to continue to live there with the neighbors taking turns at taking care of her. Now she is 20 something woman who lives in an area with senior citizens. Because she keeps getting pulled into murders she decides to become a private investigator.
In this book she is called on to find a man that a former resident of Pineapple Port has been flirting with on her daily walk. He has been wearing a t-shirt each day with one word on it. Will. You. Go . Out. With. Me. ?
The day the woman is about to respond with her shirt, he does not show. While this might sound like a dull story, it does involve a hit-woman, drugs, an underground disco for senior citizens, and stuff that if I told you about it, it would be spoilers.
While she is not investigating a murder, that is not to say there is not murders taking place. For that reason, if it was a movie I would give it a PG rating. There is no other real problems with the book. I could recommend it to any reader who likes a good mystery. It is in the vein of the cozy mysteries but it is not what I would call one as it is not quite in that mode.
