**Pineapple Port Mysteries by Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Amy Vansant,** is a funny, clean and gore-free small-town, female amateur sleuth series, but with all the pulse-pounding excitement of a detective thriller.

Book #1 of the binge-worthy series, Pineapple Lies, is a twisty puzzler...Solve the mystery before you die laughing!

It's bad enough Charlotte Morgan found a body buried in her back yard—when she discovers the bones belong to the long-missing mom of the hottest guy in town, she knows she's just made the world's worst first impression.

Determined to solve the crime, the 26-year-old becomes an amateur sleuth... even though, after being raised in a 55-plus Florida retirement community, golf-cart racing's usually about as exciting as life gets.

Quips get flung and puns get slung, making for a hilarious read, but even better, Pineapple Port's just a place you want to hang out. The dialog crackles---you'll hear the voices of your own nutty friends and relatives in every conversation. Charlotte's a unique female protagonist, being the only chick, as a friend observes, in a roomful of hens, but Pineapple Port is a wonderful character in itself, possessing its own exotic customs and quirks. People have nicknames like Jenny Teacup (because she collects tea sets), exercise comes in the form of water aerobics, and Poolside Breakfast is a big social event. But beneath this typical Florida retirement community, trouble brews...

Throughout the series, you find serial killers, crazy ex-girlfriends, loving dogs, romance, government operatives, FBI agents, danger... and a cast of characters almost as funny as they are loving, supportive and brave. The series appeals to men and women.

If Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum and the Golden Girls had a baby, it would be the Pineapple Port series!

If you like Jana Deleon, Angie Fox, Leslie Langtry, Susan M. Boyer, Gina-LaManna, Julie Smith or any funny, action-packed mystery, you're about to find your next favorite series.

"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

Review

"Very Fun Read. Reminds me of Janet Evanovich. Quirky old ladies mentoring whacky younger woman, wrapped in a mystery." ~ Saraguin Harperon "Laugh out loud funny; woke my husband out of a sound sleep once..." - S. Bollinger

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.

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

Reviewed in Australia on 29 January 2020

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.

First book, Pineapple Lies

Reviewed in Australia on 24 August 2017

If you enjoy a great mystery and like a little humour with senior citizens Pineapple Port Mystery's are the books for you.
There are no adult situations in any of the books, some light.... petting and smooches but that's all. Nothing naughty.

I loved these books this is the first one please read it first. I got mixed up with the order I read them in. I was disappointed that I went out of order.
I'm so glad I had the opportunity to read the book and assure you that you will not be disappointed in this series. ( you can read just this one as a stand alone novel or go into others), they all are worth the money.

I received a copy of this book for my honest review... I highly recommend this book for anyone who likes mysteries.
Any book or novels I leave reviews on are not dependent on the book/novel review author’s opinion. No one influenced my voluntary review for any of the books or novels I read, they are my own opinions..

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.

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!

A very entertaining read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 November 2015

Verified Purchase

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.

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!

Good setting, good characters that can have a variety of back stories. Novel idea to have a young person in a retirement village that is not a warden or Carer.

I generally don't go for 'romantic comedy' but this was a freebie so gave it a go.
I'm glad I did. the romance wasn't sickly sweet, and parts had me laughing out loud (in a good way)
I loved that the older characters were such fun, in fact I wouldn't mind living in their community when I'm old enough though I wonder would I be able to keep up with them.
the yoga class description had me cry with laughter and keeps me smiling when I think about it.
I look forward to buying the next instalment, but in the meantime bought another of the author's titles in the hope that it is equally entertaining.

Cosy up with this "cosy" mystery

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 December 2016

I only recently discovered the term "cosy mystery" and having gotten fed up of too much sex and gore I thought I'd give this book a go. I'm glad I did as it was brilliant. It's a very light and easy read and a great way to escape after a long day at work. The characters are completely bonkers and you just want to join them since they're so much fun!

I loved the character from Charlotte and Declan to the elderly residents. I liked the way that clues were strewn around, although most were red herrings. It was a relaxing read and would be ideal to take on holiday to read on the beach.

I was a bit uncertain about this book because of the word "Romantic" in the title, but I needn't have worried, this is a first rate crime novel with a romantic interest that doesn't interfere with the flow and gentle drama of the plot. An excellent read if you are fed up with murder mystery books being full of profanity and Gore.
