You are cordially invited to a destination wedding to die for…

Welcome to Bocas del Toro, a remote chain of islands off the Caribbean coast of Panama. Five days of glorious sun and lush rainforest await the forty guests celebrating Bridezilla Olivia’s dream wedding—but will a murder sink the catered affair? Before anyone’s got time to start working on a tan, an unfortunate snorkeling accident eliminates a member of the wedding party. Maid of honor Lexie Marino smells trouble, and is thrust into the responsibility of investigating, needing to solve the case before her bestie’s trip down the aisle gets tropically derailed. The show must go on.

Lexie’s a little too tall, a little too awkward, and a little too brokenhearted, but she’s determined to nail the real killer. Can this unlikely sleuth stay afloat as she’s hit by wave after wave of wildly entertaining characters, including an alpha bride, surfing detectives, and a high school flame long forgotten? You’ll find yourself laughing until the very end of Drowning Lessons, a debut cozy mystery that makes the perfect beach read. Rub in some coconut oil, dangle your feet in the crystal-blue waters of Dolphin Bay, and sip a cool drink as Lexie discovers the deductive superpowers she never knew she had. Let the party begin!

Drowning Lessons by Rachel Neuburger Reynolds
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.

First of all, this is a cozy mystery. There are no scenes with graphic violence or sex. There is some sex implied. There are also very few instances of profanity in this book. The harshest language would be considered PG in nature. Most lovers of cozy mysteries will find this book includes everything they have come to expect as far as the content is concerned.

The story itself had a rather intriguing mystery attached to it. I didn’t find myself overly invested in the personal lives of the characters in the book, but the use of poison dart frogs was quite interesting. The fact that the mystery occurs during a wedding celebration is a typical but ideal setting. I didn’t quite figure out “who done it,” and thankfully, the mystery was cleverly laid out.

I am grateful that this was the first book in the series. This meant that I was able to become acquainted with the players from the series inception, and I was able to make the determination if this would be a series I would be interested in continuing. While it was not overly exciting, it was a foundational book, and I think reading at least one more book in the series would help me make up my mind concerning the series.
