Radical Regatta is the fourth book in the Corsario Cove Cozy Mystery Series. Kim and Brien, who are newlyweds, are meditating on the beach when Brien sees something in the water. As he heads into the water to find out he realizes it’s a dog struggling in the water. When he gets it back to shore they can’t figure out how it got that far out in the water to begin with or who and where the owners are. Since the town is packed with people there for the Fourth of July Regatta finding the owners won’t be easy. But when a murder and other unfortunate events happen everything seems to be centered around the dog. What is going on? Why is the dog so important? Along with the police Kim and Brien and their friends also investigate. I love all the characters and the mystery is very well written. This is a book and series I highly recommend!
I loved this book. The characters Pepe and Archie were exactly what I needed to begin my healing over the loss of my dog Ziggy. I found myself laughing out loud again. I really look forward to more stories with these characters, and the antics they might get into; as well as exploring new characters in her other stories. I’ve definitely become a follower of Ms Burke and her books. Thank you.
Pepe to the Rescue
Dude! Like, let’s solve a crime! Oh, yes! Gidget and Moondoggie go after an international criminal as the body count starts to pile up. As much fun as the Sandra Dee movies, the only thing lacking is the bonfire on the beach (are they even legal any more?) as the daring duo rescues animals and uncovers clues in this delightful romp.
If you didn’t get a chance to read Radical Regatta in the Summer Snoops Unleashed compilation like I did–well here is another chance to read a really good book.
Saving a dog who they saw swimming for his life was a no brainer for these newly weds! What they didn’t expect was the murder(s) that followed!! Would they be able to solve this mystery? Read this book and find out.
There are lots of twists and turns and some laughs along the way!!
How far would you go to win a boat race? Would you murder someone? Fourth of July celebrations at Corsario Cove resort is exciting enough, and when you add a big Regatta to it as well, it can get pretty exciting…until Dr. Mason ( entered in the regatta) goes missing. As Kim and Brien are out for their morning walk, Brien suddenly runs into the water after seeing something moving way out. As he comes closer back to shore, Kim sees what Brien saw, a dog swimming for his life. Where did it come from and why was it out there alone?.. This is where this great mystery begins. I could go on about how wonderful the main characters are, how good the mystery in itself is, or even how more suspects keep coming up..but I wont because of my two fav animal characters, Archie and Pepe. Archie is the name given to the rescued dog..and Pepe, is the foul mouth spanish speaking parrot that has NO filter !!! Lol. Even though this is a good book, these 2 are my favorite characters. I strongly suggest that you get this first book in a new series and join in the fun!!
A lovely, family-friendly romp that takes about half a day. I read this as an ARC in the Summer Snoops series back in July 2019 and this voluntary review is my own opinion.
Radical Regatta! Corsario Cove Cozy Mystery book #4 by Anna Celeste Burke. This is the 4th book in the Corsario Cove Set, but it’s written so that it can be read as a standalone if you have not already been reading the set. That being said, once you fall in love with Ms. Burke’s storytelling, I’d highly suggest you go and grab the first 3 books in the series.
In Radical Regatta! Corsario Cove Cozy Mystery book #4, Young newlyweds Kim and Brien are happily ensconced in a little cabin close to the resort and the beach. Perfect for surfing and enjoying the beach on their time off. But Brien spots something moving off in the distance and grabs his binoculars. Seconds later, he makes a dash for the water and whatever is out there. It turns out to be a dog, out in the middle of nowhere, fast tiring and ready for rescue! Where did the dog come from? Why don’t the owners step forward to claim their pooch? This is a lighthearted foray into the lives of the rich and famous, and the poor and greedy as well. Ms. Burke has a real talent for combining death and hilarity together. Her characters are all believable and she adds just the right amount of detail to the surroundings to make me feel like I’m walking in the middle of the story!
Radical Regatta has a mouthy bird and a huge dog. As if that is not enough, someone tried to kill the dog, the dog’s owners are missing and a shadowy figure is murdered. Brien and Kim will be very busy trying to care for the animals and solve this. Fast paced, fun, and with a twist at the end, this mystery will keep you guessing! I read this book when I purchased Summer Snoops. If you missed Summer Snoops, you now have a chance to read this great book.
I read this book in the Summer Snoops Unleashed boxed set, and it was another hit by the author!
Kim and Brien get mixed up in another hilarious round of murder and mayhem, starting with Brien heroically rescuing a dog swimming in the ocean. Looking for the owners leads to one problem after another, while Kim, Brien, and company sift through the clues to find the villain who tried to kill Archie the dog.
A great plotline, wonderful characters, and fast-paced action with a twist at the end, makes this book my favorite in the series. A wonderful series by an excellent author, who is one of my few automatic pre-order authors
Radical Regatta by Anna Celeste Burke was quick easy read with likable characters and adorable pets. Brien and Kim get involved because Brien rescues a dog one morning while sitting on the beach with Father Bede Greco. The plot was quickly paced and pretty straight forward but the characters added humor and some twists to the story. The ending was spine chilling but worth it! I loved Archie and Pepe (he’s going to be a handful for Brien and Kim)the new pet additions to Kim and Brien’s lives.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. All of the above opinions are my own.
Kim and Brien are back in a new, fun read in the Corsario Cove series. Brien may be the local hero after rescuing a drowning dog but someone isn’t happy about the situation. Kim, Brian, Bede, and Detective Mitchum are once again trying to stay ahead of the villains as they work to solve the mystery of who tried to kill Archie. Pepe brings a lot of humor to the story and I look forward to his future antics. There is plenty of action and intrigue that kept me turning the pages as fast as I could.
