**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.

When a giant inflatable Halloween witch goes missing in the Pineapple Port retirement community, amateur sleuth Charlotte Morgan’s eager to nab the culprit. But before she can lift a fingerprint, someone threatens to kill a new neighbor who looks like an adorable Pomeranian but possesses a disturbing talent for revenge. Moments later, a stranger demands the return of a mysterious wooden box… or else.

Charlotte's romantic interest, Declan, isn't having a great morning either. His calculating ex-girlfriend has returned to claim she's the rightful owner of his pawn shop. She’s livid he’s found a new lady, and she is not the sort of person you want angry at you…
Eh. Things could be worse. At least Charlotte doesn’t know that a mojito-swilling killer is on his way to Pineapple Port…
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.
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

Pineapple Mystery Box by Amy Vansant
We are here with Charlotte again in Pineapple Port Retirement Community. Charlotte has two wonderful well-meaning but intrusive aged neighbours who have brought her up since her grandmother died suddenly, Mariska and Darla. They, as well as all the other Pineapple Portians are her extended family. Not to mention her huge extremely loyal dog, Abby.
Charlotte has decided to now train and become a private eye detective and was given her first retainer of a crisp $100 dollar note. Hoping to make a success of her new career, Charlotte keeps a tally of her clues and suspects on a chalkboard in her kitchen. This is another fast paced hilarious trip through life with Charlotte which is anything but boring! I thoroughly enjoyed this book (2) just like the first one Pineapple Lies and know the third book Pineapple Puzzles will be as good! Can’t wait to begin reading it! Amy Vansant is a great writer whose books I enjoy! I bought this book from Amazon and the review is entirely my own.

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..

Pineapple Mystery Box

The residents of pineapple port are at it again. Truely a fantastic book. If you have not read any of these books you must. Each one is full of mystery and even some interesting twists. No adult situations involved.
I won't spoil the endings, but I will tell you that they are great. No rock gets let unturned! With this one there are quite a few murders. How they happen is very puzzling. They are all puzzles, hopefully someone will solve this mystery quickly before the bodies pile up!

Loved this one, can't wait to read the next one!

Another winner from Amy Vansant.
Pineapple Port is fast becoming one of my favourite places.
Missing witches,strange boxes and even stranger exes appear and disappear this time, not to mention wandering gnomes and frogs and flag swapping.
Not to worry, Charlotte will sort it out.
Hilarious.

I enjoyed this book. Just as whacky and fun as the first one. Charlotte is learning to be a private detective and has no end of help in finding cases to solve. Add in a couple of real mysteries and Pineapple Port is in a tizzy. Lots of fun.

This is the Story to Read if You Like to Laugh

Reviewed in the United States on 30 January 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a great madcap caper story. I think this is the kind of story that could be made into a comedic movie with great success. One positive aspect is no overt sex, language or violence and no bathroom humor. This would be the kind of movie that I would pay money to see.

Charlotte, the youngest person in the retirement community, likes to say she was grandmothered in. After her parents died, Charlotte came to Pineapple Port to live with her grandmother who died nine months later. Some of the residents helped her remain in her grandmother's house and looked after her.

Charlotte's boyfriend Declan owns the local pawnshop. It was formerly a Mexican fast food takeout. Declan's business is now called the Hock-o-Bell. This just cracked me up the first time I read it. This is one example of Amy Vansant's humor. As usual, there is a lot going on in any Vansant story: Declan's ex girlfriend shows up claiming the pawnshop now belongs to her, Charlotte decides to become a licensed private eye and is clocking hours with Seamus, Declan's uncle. They will work on finding out if this is true or just another one of Stephanie's scams.

The story takes place around Halloween. Most of the residents like to celebrate the holidays and decorate accordingly. Darla, Sheriff Frank's wife, is very upset that someone stole her prize decoration. Witchy-Poo is an extremely large, colorful, inflatable that is put on top of the house and she is gone without a clue.

This should be enough to give you an idea of how much I enjoyed this book. If you haven't read Amy Vansant yet, you are missing some of the best humor out there. I like her enough to give her a five star rating. Her characters are well developed and a little loopy. The plot is outrageous but if you can get with the program, you will find yourself smiling at the antics of this crazy community. I know I didn't tell you about the mystery box but it's something for you to find out about when you read this book.

Book #2: The Mystery Box... 5 smiles!
Pineapple Port series by Amy Vansant

As with book number one I found myself giggling out loud. Mrs. Vansant is an author new to me, I'm so happy I've stumbled across her work and I can't wait to read more! I don't like "looong-spoiler-filled" reviews that tell me the entire book so I don't write them.

The Mystery Box can be read as a stand alone book as it's a new mystery and not a continuation of the last. The characters, their relationships and how these were formed ARE the same so as to have a better understanding, reading the first book is helpful.

The content is kept to a PG13 level, as a highly conservative parent, I would have allowed my son's to read at about age fourteen; as boys tend to mature later. The relationship between Charlotte and Declan remains chaste though Uncle Seamus makes a vague reference to "Fifty Shades" that I wouldn't explain to my kids (lol)!

Very cute, funny and right under three hundred pages can be read in a day... five smiles!!

“Pineapple Mystery Box” earns 5/5 Missing Lawn Decorations!

Reviewed in the United States on 21 September 2017

Verified Purchase

I was anxiously turning the pages after the first line…”He didn’t mean to kill her.” Boom! You’re hooked right off with the search for a ‘mystery box’ filled with stolen loot that had been left with the old woman with severe lapses of mental sharpness—sometimes she didn’t know where it was and sometimes she didn't know what it was. Amy adds a bit of ‘dark’ into the mix putting the killer on a collision course with the residents of Pineapple Port. There, the residents are in an uproar about a prank that has mixed up lawn decorations, the staple of any retirement community. As for my favorite character Charlotte, she has decided to become an official licensed private detective, and in the wake of violating US Postal laws and state licensing guidelines, she accepts assistance from Seamus, the boyfriend’s uncle—He is a fun character, too. Finding out he is a licensed PI will make it easier to get her forty-hours of experience, but she will need to survive his extreme lessons and tests first. Where’s Witchy Poo? First case? The case of the missing lawn decoration, and…of course, murder. But that could all be the easy part. The boyfriend’s ex just came into town demanding part of his pawn shop business. Ok, it’s worse! And I loved every moment!

Ok so this is the second book in the series and I must say I really love this series. I am a big fan! I am hooked. This book has so many twists and turns that I couldn't figure out the end game. I love the characters that Amy has created. They are funny and have great personality. This book was just as laugh out loud funny as the first. Even topping the first story. I believe this will be one of those series that is like a fine wine, getting better and better with each year, or in this case book. I loved the mystery and comedy of the story. I can't wait to read book 3 and find out what Charolette and the Pineapple Port gang get into next. If you haven't read this series you need to pick it up now and get to reading. Happy Reading!!

I loved it. I just got this book and started reading it right away. I could not put it down. I love the characters, they are funny. Amy is very good with dialog. There is more than one mystery going on and Charlotte is trying to solve them all. Charlotte's boyfriend Declan is also having a problem. His ex-girlfriend claims his pawn shop now belongs to her. Does it or is she up to her old tricks? And what is this mystery box? Get comfortable, have a hot cocoa or an iced tea (depending on where you live) and go along with Charlotte and help her solve this case. You'll be glad you did.

What fun! These characters are non-stop trouble

Reviewed in the United States on 1 November 2016

Charlotte and her crew are at it again, and poor Declan is pulled farther into the schemes and hijinks. Ms. Varsant writes a tale full of miscommunications, theft, forgery, and lots of humor. As Charlotte works to solve four cases (she's training to be a private Investigator), Declan wrestles with an old flame trying to take away his shop.

This series is a great concept for cozies. What does a young person do when she's grown up in a retirement village? Why she finds a way to stay there, of course. These are easy, quick reads, and I'm enjoying watching the characters grow with each new book.

I received a free copy of this book. I decided independently to review it, and this is my honest review.

Learning to be a PI is sure getting Charlotte in a lot of interesting situations and meeting Declan’s ex girlfriend is a real eye opener. Trying to figure out why someone’s after a box sold at a garage sale leads her and the gang to some tricky situations. A great.

I want to live in Pineapple Port! Another hilarious and well written book by Amy Vansant! Even though there are several smaller mysteries surrounding a larger, central one, Amy sews them together seamlessly. By the end of the book, everything becomes clear and I was pleasantly surprised! As with the first Pineapple Port Mystery, I found myself laughing out loud at Charlotte and the other misfits in her neck of the Florida swamp. As soon as book three is available I'm preordering! Thanks for another fun Pineapple Port cozy Mystery Amy...keep 'em coming!

I've read both Pineapple Port books and both are great! There were a few twists in this one that were fun and 2 I didn't see coming. I really like Charlotte and Declan and all of the old folks. I love that Charlotte lives in a 55 and older community being only 26. It's a great premise and I look forward to what comes next. They're great, easy, funny reads. I received this book for free from the author for an honest review.
