When Maui's biggest local surfing event of the year hits the island, Charlie plans on sticking to the sidelines, cheering for Zoe, safely away from the water. But on day one of the competition, a body washes up on shore, and it’s one of Vesper’s ex-boyfriends.
With Vesper quickly emerging as one of the prime suspects, Charlie, Dot and Rosie jump into action to clear the former surfer’s name and find the real killer. But Jake is in charge of the case, and their new relationship is about to be dealt a challenge as they decide to take different tracks.
Add to this the problem of the gangsters in Seattle, and Charlie has her hands full. Will she save her relationship with Jake and solve the case, saving Vesper’s freedom in the process? Or will the killer get to her first, causing Charlie to wipe out—permanently?
Surfboard Stabbing is Book 7 in the Charlotte Gibson Mystery series by Jasmine Webb.
I love this series set in Hawaii, SO much!
There is a huge surfing competition that Zoe has entered in, and a body shows up in the water before the competition can even take off.
The murder victim is one of Vesper's ex boyfriends and Charlie works the investigation to clear Vesper's name.
I really loved this mystery. And add to that, Charlie with her new relationship with Jake and Zoe in a relationship with Arthur, I really liked those added aspects to the book.
And let's not forget the scene stealers, Rosie and Dot who always help Charlie with her investigations.
Fun, well written characters with a story that will keep you following the clues and laughing while you do it.
The danger is heating up as is the relationships between Jake and Charlie. With a murderer to find and a possible hitman to dodge, Charlie has a lot on a plate, but will it mean the end of her relationship with Jake?
Jasmine Webb's Charlotte Gibson Mystery Series is laugh-out-loud entertainment. Only Charlotte, aka Charlie could wind up in so many situations that make you shake with laughter. She's been tased so many times her doctor roommate worries she will be brain damaged. But, Charlie always manages to get the culprit in the end. Laugh along with Charlie and her crowd, it'll be an entertaining read.
The first book in this series was a bit underwhelming. Not bad, just so-so. As the series has progressed so has the writing! I am really enjoying the books now! I love Charlie's sense of humor and I am really liking all of the characters in the books. My only complaint is the editing. There are quite a few mistakes. Be it spelling, timeline, grammar or actual storytelling. At one point in the story it said Dot was driving and in the same scene, it then says Charlie is driving. The author consistently has Charlie pull over if she is using her phone. In this particular part she didn't, but then she did. Then it wasn't her driving, then it was and then it wasn't again. Things like that would be an easy fix with a good editor. Otherwise, I'm really loving all of it!
When a local is murdered during a surfing event, Charlie takes on the case when Vesper is accused of the crime. Tony, the victim is a serial cheater so there are a lot of suspects. The Ham Brothers are still tracking Charlie because she killed their brother and Rosie is tracking a thief in her apartment complex. Lots of plots to follow.
Really enjoying the series!! Charlotte and her friends are a kick and her cop BF very forgiving. I recommend this to anyone who likes mysteries where the characters seem very plausible.
Another amazing book in a high quality cozy mystery series! The funny thing is...Charlie only joined the surfing competition because she wanted to win the year of free pie...when the body turned up...Good fun!
The story line and characters are wonderful. There are a few editing mistakes that should heal been caught on a read through. But the dialogue and story telling are so good that the mistakes are just blips.
I thoroughly enjoy the easy reading style, dropped clues, characters and interwoven stories all on the beautiful backdrop of Maui! Highly recommend! ENJOY!!!
Charlie has her hands full when trouble comes to Maui, while helping clear her friend from a surfing fiasco. Especially when the "pool" of suspects are all in the ocean!
Enjoyed this novel and am still laughing and wondering why I can't put these books down..Keep writing Jasmine and I will keep enjoying you humorous was of writing!
