It is difficult to name a favorite series by Kathi Daley but TJ Jensen and friends is always at the very top of the list for me. I love the interaction between the characters. It is a wholesome, multigenerational series.

This time TJ agrees to watch over resort renovations for a friend of her father. Having grown up in a resort setting, she is the perfect person for this task. Even better, she brings along family, friends and pets for this extended stay. Also, we meet a most remarkable parrot named Blackbeard.
With a beach setting, we naturally anticipate pirate adventure. There is treasure hunting featured from the very first day. Finding a dead treasure hunter in the attic sets the tone for the struggles TJ and crew will face this summer.

A combination of local secrets, greedy land developers, devout environmentalists, moody preadolescents and TJ's own emotional ride mixed with memories and recent relationship changes, investigating a murder seems to be the logical choice for our amateur sleuth.
Loyalty is her strongest trait, along with persistence.
The ending did make me gasp! ( )

First I wanted to go and stay at the picturesque place, and chuckled as the group unloaded to go into their lodging, people, dogs and cats, and they soon add a parrot.
Tj’s friend needs help and since her Dad can’t come she is there to lend a hand with what to do with the resort. Of course we know that this is a murder mystery, and soon we find that there is a body in the attic, but why are the police calling natural causes.
Kyle is there for Tj, and the girls, as they try and settle in I kept hoping for a spark between them. We meet the locals, and they made me want to move there, so welcoming when they find out whom they are, and some remember a sullen Tj.
We also have deal with big conglamorant who wants really to steal the beautiful land Tj is trying to save, and all the while you want to smack them.
The answers are to come and you won’t be able to put this read down until you know the answers, a quick, sweet and enjoyable read. Now I need a parrot.
I received this book through Great Escapes Book Tours, and was not required to give a positive review. ( )

I have come to really love the authors writing. She has such an expressive way to write that makes everything come to life. Her stories are always filled with fascinating facts and I appreciate her diligence to details. I loved reading about the plight of the turtles and loved learning about them.

Tj has decided to spend her summer at Turtle Cove Resort helping her father's friend out. I love Tj so much and want to be her friend. She is someone you can trust and know she will always be there for you. Tj and her entourage pack up and head on an adventure that is exciting and action packed. The place they are staying at has an uninvited guest in the attic. Poor Tj finds a body that doesn't seem to be moving. It looks like Tj will have her hands full when the investigation starts . Why was there a body in the attic where Tj was going to be all summer?

Someone thinks there is a map that will lead them to a treasure that will make them rich. I was ready to join them as the author made the story so intriguing. How fun would it be to explore caves, and deserted land hoping to find buried treasure? Tj is suspicious when the death of the person in the attic is ruled as natural causes. Who is hiding something about the death? I love how the author gives us a great mystery with subtle clues throughout the book. Her books are always fun to read and Tj is a character that I have enjoyed getting to know. I have to mention Blackbeard the parrot. Oh my I enjoyed this bird so much. I could picture him talking away as he tried to give clues to Tj. As always the author delivers another powerful story that has interesting characters and a well written mystery that had me not wanting the book to end. I can't wait to see what is in store for Tj next.

I received a copy of this book from The Great Escapes Book Tour. The review is my honest opinion. ( )
