Description
Beware the east wind! It’s hurricane season in Florida, and everyone’s attention is focused on preparing for the latest tempest. But in Serendipity Springs, mah jongg pals Marianne, Sydney, Micki and Kat are caught in a different kind of whirlwind—a mesmerizing murder case involving a slain hypnotist/chef and the woman police suspect of doing her in, her embittered catering partner, Portia. Tasked by Portia to help clear her name, and at the risk of infuriating Kat’s sheriff boyfriend, Marianne and her friends discover there are more than enough suspects—and secrets—to go around. Wary of getting themselves into more dangerous situations, Marianne and Syd agree to let their protective spouses join the hunt, even if their scheming husbands are really in it for the action, not bodyguard duty. As they dig into the hypnotist’s explosive files, more and more questions arise. Was she blackmailing her clients? Did her husband knock her off to gain access to those secrets? And is Portia telling them everything she knows? The sleuths pile their own deceptions on top of the suspects’ lies as a dangerous storm gathers steam offshore. When will the east wind strike, and will the hurricane’s merciless eye reveal a killer?

Beware the East Wind by Barbara Barrett, is the 4th first book in Mah Jongg series. A fun group of seniors, Kat, Syd, Marianne and Micki, get wrapped up in solving another murder. This book is a fun read, with intelligent older women. I found this book to be a quick read, with well developed plot and characters. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series. If you love fun cozy mysteries like I do, than I recommend this book.
I reviewed a digital arc provided by NetGalley and the publisher. Thank you.

Read this in two days. While I like that the group meets to talk out their actions, it seems as if there is a lot of talking and not enough action. Other than that, good mystery and several viable suspects. Ending was a little anticlimactic but still interesting.

After a night out to see a hypnotist the mah jongg group (and some of their husbands) become involved with a murder. The characters are fun and intelligent seniors. An easy to read cozy mystery.

I read the other books in this series and was more than happy when I got this ARC because it was an engrossing and entertaining read.
The cast of characters is fleshed and likeable as usual, the mystery kept me guessing.
I look forward to reading the instalment in this series.
Recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
