After taking a leave-of-absence from the Miami Police Department, Sergeant Merryll Manning launches a fevered quest to win back the affections of his ex-girlfriend, Susan Ford; however, when Susan is found strangled to death in her beachfront condo, not only is Merryll forced to deal with the grief of losing the love of his life – he also learns, much to his dismay, that he’s the prime suspect in her death. And, as if things couldn’t get any worse, the only witness to the murder suddenly goes missing, leaving Merryll between a rock and a hard place as he struggles to put the pieces of the mystery together before it ends up costing him his freedom – and possibly his life...

Fresh off the success of Trapped On Mystery Island and The Health Farm Murders, author John Howard Reid returns with Beachfront Holiday – arguably the strongest installment in the Merryll Manning mystery series thus far. Rife with palpable tension and page-turning suspense, Beachfront Holiday is a top notch mystery thriller with an intriguing central plotline pushed along by vivid characters and compelling action. Of course, just as with the previous two installments in the series, the key centerpiece of Beachfront Holiday is none other than the indomitable Sergeant Manning himself, who has more than enough charm, wit, and downright gumption to bring any story to vivid, effervescent life.

Another instant classic from the brilliant mind of John Howard Reid, Beachfront Holiday takes the reader on a genuine literary thrill ride. A highly enjoyable read.
