#3 in Castaway Bay series

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2021

Syd has decided to remain in her hometown near her 2 sisters and her Aunt Charley. She goes to work for Ezra, a recluse who takes on criminal cases with the help of several people who bring their own talents. Syd also makes a deal with her boss to work part-time for the FBI from her new location. Logan is filling in for the town doctor and considering staying permanently. This is a great series with conclusions but ongoing relationships, so I encourage you to start with book 1 in the series.

Good not great

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2021

Usually Kathi Daley'sbooks are very well written and fun mysteries. This one was awkward at times, characters going in and out , without the usual smoothness. And, the ending just sort of dropped off...

Another great mystery by Kathi Daley

It took me awhile to get all of the characters straight in my mind after the last series, because I loved them. Once I got to know them I was really excited about this new series. Syd is a fascinating character and her way of solving mysteries is unique. I know I'm going to love this series just like the others. And as usual the ending was spectacular.
Update: Just found out that this is book 3, lol. Now I'm reading book 1.

I enjoy the characters of this series, family dynamics and the mystery. I appreciate that these are clean and I can suggest them to friends and family.
While these can be read as a stand alone I prefer reading the series so you have more background on the characters.

In this third book of the Castaway Bay series, Kathi Daley does a masterful job of combining stark and chilling scenes within a cozy, heart warming family setting.

Syd Whitmore is a valued forensic psychologist for the FBI but the job has drained her, worn her down and she returned to her family for a break and emotional recharge. Now she has decisions to make about her future, including career and living arrangements.
Her childhood best friend is in a similar situation. He loves his job as a medical doctor but his father is getting older and Logan wants to be around for his dad. As a bonus he is reconnecting with Sydney.
This book also has some adorable puppies and a mother dog looking for a new home.

As a side investigation, Syd is working with an elite group of specialists trying to overturn a murder conviction. The murder took place on Halloween and a possible suspect was dressed head to toe as Darth Vader. We get to know more about the team as this series progresses.

As if that is not enough, the local Sheriff also asks for Syd's help on a case.
Plus another case that Syd was involved in when she first arrived has new information.
Lots going on and similarities exist between the cases. Syd works hard at balancing work and family.

This is an exciting and fascinating series.

Lots Going On and Decisions To Be Made

Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2021

Trick or Treat is the third book in Kathi Daley’s Resort at Castaway Bay series. The intriguing mystery is well plotted and complex, with no shortage of twists and red herrings to keep the reader engaged and guessing. The West Coast setting is charming, and the well-developed characters are three-dimensional, compassionate, and caring. Ms. Daley’s descriptive writing made me feel like I was right in the midst of the activities and sharing the characters’ tragedies and joys. Christy Turner provides a lifestyle blog with photographs of beautiful pumpkin displays. I highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys reading well-crafted cozies.

After suffering the consequences of an error in judgment in her job as an FBI forensic psychologist, Sydney Whitmore came home to Shipwreck Island for an extended vacation. Having spent several months on the island with her family, Sydney has realized that she’d like to move back home. Sydney and her sisters, Emily and Rory, were taken in and raised by Aunt Charlie when their parents were killed in an automobile accident. Emily, her two young daughters, and Rory live at Jack’s Hideaway with Aunt Charley and Charley’s father-in-law, Hank Hamilton. Besides helping at the resort, Emily is writing a lifestyle blog. Rory is a veterinary technician who often brings animals in need of extra attention home with her. Logan Alexander, who grew up at the resort, is on the island to care for his ill father, Liam, and is contemplating a permanent move and taking over Henry Collins’ medical practice. Sidney’s friend, Riley Chesterfield, a mugging victim, who was in a coma for months, has finally come home.

Sydney has renewed her relationship with Ezra Reinhold and is currently working with him and his top-of-the-line team of experts to clear the name of Eugene Hatfield, who was convicted of murdering Carl Rubio on Halloween night three years ago. Sidney also helps Shipwreck Island’s sheriff, Sam Stone, with a stabbing on the beach, and Collin asks for her help with a kidnapping near a school.

Trick or Treat is the third book in the wonderful Resort at Castaway Bay cozy mystery series. This is a fun, cozy Halloween read. As with each series written by Kathi Daley, the characters and setting make for an amazing escape from reality. Shipwreck Island sounds like a wonderful place to live or vacation. I love the way Ms. Daley writes in a continuing saga fashion with hints and clues to stories in the future. This book has suspense, love, friendship, and family. I really look forward to reading the next book in this series.

Awesome mystery series

I love all of Kathi Daley's books as they are mostly set in small-town America with wonderful characters and relationships. This set has mystery but also such inspiring interactions between the main characters. I love that the author brings in characters from her other series and keeps the pace of the story moving along. Overall I feel that reading a Kathi Daley book is like coming home.
