Mystery Readers love Pineapple Puzzles & The Pineapple Port Series:

"I absolute!y love this series. Florida is the setting for some of the best written mysteries around, John D. MacDonald, Carl Hiaasen, Blaize Clement, Randy Wayne White, Michael Lister, and now Amy Vansant...We usually use World Building in terms of speculative writing such as Fantasy and SF, but it applies here as well. The retirement community of Pineapple Port has both a recurring and expanding cast. It is fully realized and with enduring characters. This volume centers around a battle between two serial killers, but there are also everyday mysteries such as the disappearing plants from the yards in the neighborhood. These books are far more complex than the usual cozy, and this one had one of the funniest lines ever, using the double meaning of a grammar term. Red herrings abound. Plus there is a hairless cat. What's not to love?!" --- Judith Anderson ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"It is a page-turner and I was so engaged by the clever cat and mouse between “Puzzle Man” and his victims, the second killer, and law enforcement. What an ending! Of course, I am again entertained by the “55+” characters, especially Aunt Carolina, who offer comic relief, and Charlotte and Declan continue to work on their relationship with an ex as the monkey wrench in the deal. Hooked!" ~ Kathleen C.

" Run, don't walk, or you know, saunter or otherwise drag your feet, to your nearest check out station - this book is a must-read!! I have been trying to decide if book 3 was even better than book 1, which I didn't think was possible. If someone held an alligator to my back and said I had to make a decision I would go with yes (and then scream like a little girl). It was so funny with lots of laugh-out-loud moments and when I wasn't laughing I most likely had a silly grin on my face. The mystery itself was top-notch, clever, and whoa, I didn't see that coming! Now I have to go because my dog wants me to read the parts with the cat out loud again, she can be so pushy but she has great taste!" - Amazon Reader ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Mystery Readers love The Pineapple Port Series:

"Funny, fun, & fantastic! I love this series for so many reasons and they're all on display in this latest book. Twisted villains - seriously deranged in some cases - yet a couple even have a redeeming quality or two. They're layered, surprising and some are just plain fun. I mean they're really nasty, horrible people but they're a huge part of what makes these books as terrific as they are. On the flip side, Charlotte [our protagonist] along with Declan and the rest of the supporting characters are an equally interesting bunch: spunky, fun, intelligent and capable." --- Becs ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Exciting,well written with just the right amount of humor.This book deserves 5 big stars. there were parts that had me giggling, parts that worried me, parts that scared and parts that relieved me. Great story line and a great ending. I love this group of seniors who helped raise this young lady. How up lifting" --- Denota Heiskell ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"The series gets better with each book. I must admit, I’m obsessed! This series is so funny, you can’t contain your laughter. I love Charlotte, she’s mature and quirky but doesn’t let small things, like psycho serial killer ex girlfriends, make her jealous even is the lady is gorgeous and wants her boyfriend back." ~ JGundy ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

(There is no cliffhanger for the Christmas mystery in this book. There are ongoing story sub-plots that run through the entire series, but all books in the series can be enjoyed as standalone.)

"This is such a witty episode. I actually laughed aloud at the opossum scene. The Christmas theme is an added plus that features heavily in the plot. I loved that the plot held 2 mysteries. Declan's psycho ex draws Charlotte into one of her court cases, and a dead body turns up. By the end of the book, that thread is left open, but doesn't detract from the read. As usual, this is a clean read with no sex and few curse words. It's also well-edited. Highly recommended." ~ Author Felicia Mires ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Oh my, so funny. So mysterious, angsty and funny. I love these mysteries and how all the pieces fall together. Add in a sweet love story (and a serial killer) and it doesn't get any better than this." ~ Marsha Jeanne Thalleen ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Mystery Readers love Pineapple Circus and The Pineapple Port Series:

"Great story as always from this author. Lots of action and mystery along with big doses of humor throughout. I think this might be the best Pineapple Port book yet! Loved it." - Amazon Reader ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I enjoy her books so much. Each book is better than the last. I like the way she portrays the older ladies as funny rather than silly as so many writers in the cozy series do. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series." - Amazon Reader ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Lots & lots of surprises & twists in this one. Started & couldn’t put it down." - Amazon Reader ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Hilarious as usual - Pineapple Circus is definitely in my top three favorites for this series. It's hilarious, as usual, ties together several different stories to fill in the past for overlapping characters, and still has all the usual Pineapple Port insanity and crazy outcomes. Ms. Vansant has been my favorite author since I read one of her books for the first time, and Circus solidifies that sentiment yet again!." - Amazon Reader ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Pineapple Cruise: A Whodunnit on the Gulf (Pineapple Port Mysteries Book 14)

When Mariska trades the brisket she won at “meat bingo” for three tickets on the new Gulf Voyager cruise ship, she, Darla, and our detective Charlotte enjoy a ladies' cruise to Key West. But when passengers start dropping like anchors, they find themselves afloat in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico...and a murder mystery.

Charlotte notices the victims were all sitting at their assigned dinner table...does that mean they're next?

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

The handsome ship's doctor is up to no good, the cruise director is shifty, the captain seems clueless, and one of their tablemates just dropped dead in her oatmeal. Charlotte thinks she can solve the mystery, but she'll need Darla's pickpocketing skills and Mariska's unusual fighting style...

Meanwhile, Declan gets an unexpected, giraffe-pattern-covered visitor while babysitting Charlotte's terrier—she plays a mean game of rummy and brought along a stalker...

Fans of Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None will love this cruise-bound caper!

Charlotte’s friend Tilly dies and leaves her a cryptic message about the Cozy Mystery Killer—an assassin who has a grudge against amateur detectives.

While Charlotte and Declan follow the clues to find the killer, Mariska and Darla work to surprise them with upgrades to the couple’s new detective agency office. That is until a local crime-solving "witch" goes missing, and Charlotte needs to call them into active duty to help find her before she ends up the killer's next victim.
