NOW OPTIONED FOR TELEVISION!

Funny, clean, small-town, sleuth novels—with a touch of romance. The heartwarming relationships between young and old and the quirky world of loveable characters will make Pineapple Port Mysteries your new favorite series!

"Too much!! Wow! I don't think I've had so much laughter and fun in a cozy mystery ever! " - Amazon Reader ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Book #1 of the binge-worthy series by Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Amy Vansant, Pineapple Lies, is a twisty puzzler...with an ending you won't see coming!

"One of the best surprise ending I have read.." - Amazon Vine Voice Reader ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman is huge right now, and if you like that you will love Pineapple LIes. Personally, I have to say I enjoyed this even more." - author Tommy Ueland

If you like Thursday Murder Club or HULU's "Murders in the Building", you'll love Pineapple Port Mysteries!

As an orphan adopted by one of Florida's 55+ communities, Charlotte never expected life to be wild. Golf cart racing with her surrogate mothers Mariska and Darla was about as nutty as life got...until she found the hot pawnbroker's mom buried in her backyard.

Talk about making a lousy first impression...

Armed with nothing but her wits, Pineapple Port's questionable cast of characters, and a growing crush, Charlotte is determined to solve the mystery of Declan's mother's murder.

Hey, at least this guy's skeletons aren't in his closet.

Throughout the series, you find killers, crazy ex-girlfriends, loving dogs, romance, treasure hunts, government operatives, FBI agents, danger... and a cast of characters almost as funny as they are loving, supportive and brave!

Mystery Readers love The Pineapple Port Series:

"I will usually binge-read an entire cozy mystery series even if I just "like" the series. I started off just liking Pineapple Port. Now I'm starting book 8 and I absolutely LOVE this series. Thank you, Amy, for creating such a wonderful universe of great characters. I love how there always seems to be multiple storylines that intertwine. It's nice to be able to escape reality into a book. I appreciate it!" --- Reader ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Amy is one of my favorite authors. I highly recommend all of her books. No matter what genre she writes in, she manages to create books that demand that the pages be immediately turned to find out what happened because you really care about the characters." ~ Dianne Harman, USA Today and Amazon Chart #1 Bestselling Author

"Mysteries usually aren't my genre, but Amy does a great job in adding twists, turns and - of course - her humor to every page. For a person like me who finds it hard to pick up a book and keep turning the pages, the fact that I tore through this book from start to finish and am looking forward to the next one speaks volumes." - Author, Rodney Lacroix ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"More than once, I found myself laughing out loud while reading through the story. The character development is good, the humor is unforced. All around, an excellent, lighthearted mystery that I would absolutely recommend." - Amazon Reader ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"An unlikely friendship and romance develop with moments of levity and hilarious laughter. More than once, I found myself laughing out loud while reading through the story.

About the Author

Amy has been writing and finding other creative ways to make no money since high school. She specializes in fun, comedic reads about accident prone, easily distracted women with questionable taste in men. So, autobiographies, mostly. Amy is the former East Coast Editor of SURFER Magazine but the urge to drive up and down the coast interviewing surfers has long since left her. Currently, she is a nerd and Labradoodle mommy who works at home with her goofy husband. She has rocked water aerobics at a fifty-five and over community, but has yet to play bingo. She's heard it's vicious. --This text refers to the paperback edition.

Pineapple Lies

Reviewed in Australia on 1 February 2022

When I first started reading this it didn't hold my attention, I had trouble getting into it. I think it was more the characters than the story line.
This ended up an ok story for me, I was hoping to have a laugh at some stage but only ended up shaking my head.

Pineapple Lies :A Pineapple Port Mystery Book 1 by Amy Vansant
This is a wonderfully funny novel which I thoroughly enjoyed. Charlotte’s parents died when she was eleven, leaving her to be brought up by her grandmother. One or two problems with that. First problem, grandma lives in an over fifties village, where an eleven year old sticks out like a sore thumb! Second problem, way worse than the first, grandma dies too! Luckily for Charlotte there are two best friends of grandma, Mariska and Darla who take it upon themselves to keep her safely close with them. After growing up with this protective love all around her, Charlotte finally decides she is old enough and moves into grandma’s old home, just across the road from Mariska and not too far from Darla and her Sheriff husband. All the neighbours may be elderly but their hearts are filled with kindness and caring towards Charlotte. This book is so funny I have had pages where I simply can’t stop laughing! I look forward to reading more of Charlotte’s adventures at Pineapple Port. I was given this book but the review is entirely my own. It is a fantastically funny series if they are all like this one! I am glad there are more to read! Amy Vansant is a great writer who keeps the reader smiling throughout her book!

Fun time Mystery

I really enjoyed this light hearted murder mystery with just a touch of romance. The characters are lovable and there is enough twists and turns to keep you guessing as to who did it. If this was a movie it would be up there with the 'Murder She Baked' or 'Agatha Raisen' movies. I will definitely be reading the rest of the series, can't wait to find out what happens next with Charlotte and Declan.

Lies and deceit lead to a good book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 May 2018

I enjoyed this book but must admit wasn't to sure on the title so had it in my to be read list a while before I got around to reading it.
Pineapple lies is set in a retirement community, Pineapple port (which is where the title comes from). Even through it is a retirement community the story is set around Charlotte a twenty something female who lives there and the problems she has when she unearths the skeletal remains of a body in her back yard. With the bones being so old, that rules out Charlotte from being the murder but unfortunately everybody she cares about could still be the killer. With help from her surrogate mum's and unwittingly from the sheriff, she soon finds her self adding find killer to chalk board to do list.
With a fun group of characters it was a nice cozy mystery.

A very entertaining read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 November 2015

I was a little dubious about this book as I am not a lover of romantic stories, but I do like a good 'who dunnit' and so thought I would give this a try. I am so pleased that I did, because it is fun read, has lots of humour, a plot that keeps you guessing until the end, and thoroughly entertaining and believable characters (it reminded me a little of the TV series 'The Golden Girls'). There is an element of romance, but it does not interfere with the plot. It is an easy read and made me want to keep coming back for more to see what would happen next. I am looking forward to reading more of Amy's work.

Aha! I knew who dunnit. Oh, I was wrong. I love the characters, crazy elderly women make me laugh. It's okay, I'm 71. After I read this book I ordered the rest of the series. Yes, it's that good. I highly recommend this series. Now I'm going to read book 2.

Cozy mystery is definitely NOT my normal genre, but Ms Vansant makes it such fun I'm totally hooked.
She has the ability to make you care for her characters and live their lives with them, no matter how unusual. Loved the warmth and authenticity of the "Golden Girls" characters, and Charlotte is one of my fave-ever contemporary heroines.
Genius!

Having enjoyed The Angeli Series by Amy Vansant I thought I might give this cozy mystery a try as well. It was the first book in this genre I've ever read and I loved it! Vansant's remarkable humor provided a bundle of laughs along the way, and the story line was surprisingly intriguing for such a humorous book - I couldn't put it down. Vansant is now one of my favorite authors and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of her books, whatever the genre!
