60% Mystery. 40% Romance. 100% escape.

Born and raised on Juliet Island, Maggie Archer’s whole life is dedicated to the rustic inn her parents built. When a guest is found dead, the inn’s already precarious financial situation teeters on the brink. Maggie begins to wonder if the growing number of accidents at the inn are really just that, or if something more sinister is at play.

Elliott Simon’s life has recently gone off the rails. His stop on Juliet Island is meant to be temporary but when he finds a body floating in the ocean his plans are put on hold by the RCMP. Complicating matters is his growing attraction to the owner of the Cormorant Inn, the beautiful and headstrong Maggie Archer.

When a fire strikes at the inn, and it looks as though it could have been deliberately set, Maggie and Elliott are in a race to find the perpetrator before more tragedy strikes.

Love and Death at the Inn is the first in a series of cozy romantic mysteries set on the wild west coast of British Columbia.

If you like character-based stories where friendship and love form the foundation, beautiful locations, and a little bit of romantic entanglement, then you’ll love Alexandra Amor’s heartwarming Juliet Island Romantic Mysteries.

*Note: there are occasional instances of swearing in this book, including the odd F-bomb.

INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR
Q: What makes the Juliet Island Romantic Mystery series special?

These mystery novels are a love letter to British Columbia's gulf islands. I grew up reading mysteries - police procedurals, Dick Francis amateur sleuth novels, Robert B. Parker's Spenser series, and other private detective and crime novels - so when I set out to write my own mystery, I wanted to include elements from these kinds of books, and from the spectacularly beautiful and unique province where I live.

The characters in these romantic mysteries are real and are dealing with real issues in their lives - businesses and marriages that are running into trouble, not to mention murder! But at the core of every one of my books is the theme of friendship and love. Just as in life, challenges are tackled and overcome, and it is love and connection that sustains us.

Q: Why should readers give these books a try?

This series, of which Love and Death at the Inn is the first book, is aimed at readers who like mystery novels with twists and turns, a little bit of romance, connection with the true-to-life characters and a few laughs. Oh! And dogs. I can't seem to write a book without a dog or two in it. ;-)

Q: When is the next book out?

Love and Death at the Inn was released in May 2016. The next book in the series will be released in August 2016.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book succeeds at its most important job...
Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2016

This book succeeds in the most important job a book has -- it makes me want to live there. The setting on Juliet Island, with the small town community and whale watching and the inn with the ocean views, is as strong a character as the Protagonist Maggie, or her love interest Elliot, or all the fun, interesting locals on the island and guests at Maggie's inn.

The murder mystery unravels slowly, with the reader meeting some shady characters. The land developers are suspect #1, wanting the prime ocean real estate Maggie's inn is sitting on. Then there's a family who still harbors resentment towards Maggie's deceased parents. However, since this is a romantic mystery, the murder investigation is a backdrop to tell the story of Maggie and Elliot's love affair.

The book reads like a cozy mystery, with no graphic violence or sex. However, there are few F-bombs dropped along the way, along with other choice words.

Ultimately, this is a fun page turner that I wasn't ready to leave when I got to the last page. Definitely looking forward to the next mystery at Juliet Island.

I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed this book! The characters were very well written. The setting is definitely someplace I would love to live. The story flowed beautifully, with romance, mystery and enough red herrings that it was a very satisfying read! Can't wait to go back to this island retreat!

4.0 out of 5 stars really enjoyed Love and Death at the Inn
Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2017
really enjoyed Love and Death at the Inn. As a child, one of my favourite TV programs took place on a small island just off the coast of Australia. I loved the adventures the children had and wished I could spend a little bit of time in such a beautiful place, removed from society and all of its distractions.

Upon re-watching this TV program as an adult, I realised that the show primarily focused on the children (except for the slapstick comedy with a few of the adults), and I often wondered what they got up to in their spare time. What adventures and mishaps did the adults of the island experience?

I feel as though Love and Death at the Inn, while not as silly as this show was, gave a good description of the different types of personalities that would live on an island. This is a place which is small enough where everyone knows the business of everyone else before it's even happened.

The main character, Maggie, is dedicated to keeping the family inn running, despite the fact that it is struggling financially. While she has her close friends to support her at work (and, if she'll let them, emotionally), Maggie realises that she is quite alone. Her dog Ruby keeps her company and is her shadow throughout the book, but at times she wonders if she needs more. Maggie is, however, fiercely independent and determined, so when she notices that accidents are occurring at the inn on a more-than-regular basis, she puts her investigating cap on to try and solve the mystery.

She discovers that this is not the biggest mystery of all. There's a suspected murder (and murderer) in town AND a cute guy who has caught her eye. As she struggles to keep afloat, she realises that her life (and the island) are changing in ways that she cannot control.

I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book so I could give an honest review.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great and fun mystery adventure.
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2017
I found this book a delightful mystery and love story. On a small island, Maggie, takes over the operation of an Inn left to her by her parents. The Inn is having financial problems and she has been offered several times to be bought out. She refuses as this is the home she was raised in. After a series of what were thought to be accidents, a fire occurs which was arson. The brother, Elliott, of a friend who owns the bakery in town has started to help with finding out who might be behind these so called accidents. While investigating together they fall in love. That only adds to the problems solving the mysteries. What happens next I will leave up to the reader to discover.

3.0 out of 5 stars Quick read with an unexpected ending
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2016
With the death of her parents, Maggie Archer takes over their finically struggling inn. The first chapter starts out with finding a guest of the inn drowned. We are not sure if there is any mystery until the second half of the book. The inn has experienced a number of accidents over the last nine months and at this point the thought of sabotage comes in. Elliot, who found the body, is required to remain on the island. As he helps Maggie, they fall in love. Very unexpected ending. This is a quick read with likable characters. I may or may not read other books in this series. I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book, through Reading Deals, so I could give an honest review.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love Alexandra's insight into human character
Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2017
This is a page turner. I stopped everything until it was finished! I love Alexandra's insight into human character, as she weaves a mystery with a wonderful twist at the end, and lots of suspense along the way. I was taken right away from everyday demands, and want a sequel! It is action from start to finish, and appeased my romantic spirit.

Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2016
I thought the characters of Maggie and Elliott were very interesting and well developed. Maggie worked well with all of her staff at the Inn. They made me want to stay there and enjoy some summer fun and relaxation. The action kept me in suspense and kept me intrigued throughout the book. I would definitely be interested in reading more about Juliet Island and the Inn.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get on that radio of yours son. I’d say you’ve got a situation here.

This was a fabulously fun, feel good read. I love small island life and soaked up the rich settings, authentic characters, and the politics, through every pore. Alexandra Amor captured island life perfectly. Each chapter was a treat. I was drawn into the world of life at the Inn and would love to make a reservation for a holiday there. I also want to sample the chocolate croissants at the Bakeri. I laughed out loud, and was completely hooked as soon as I read "Get on that radio of yours son. I'd say you've got a situation here." The suspense throughout, with many twists and turns, kept me guessing all the way through.The romance was delightfully fresh. The humor was great. I was left with a smile on my face and can highly recommend.
