Early Praise for ‘Rum Luck’

Ben Cooper awoke in a Costa Rican prison cell to discover he had bought a bar on the beach – and been arrested on suspicion of murder.

Rum Luck is  an exciting and hilarious thrill ride set in the beautiful, rough-and-tumble surf town of Tamarindo, Costa Rica. It is also the debut mystery novel of crime writer Ryan Aldred.

Although draft copies have only been made available to a very limited audience, Rum Luck  has already received strong feedback from its readers.

“Aldred has the touch. This novel is magical and works on so many levels.” – Garry Ryan, Author of the Detective Lane Mysteries

“Let me introduce Ryan. Up and coming crime writer…”  -Vicki Delany, Author of the Smith and Winters Series and the Gold Rush Series

“Excellent book, beginning of what I think will be a long career of Aldred.” – Sheri Robinson

“I read for the escape and fun… ‘Rum Luck’ offers both.” – Janet

“Excellent read… I’m eagerly awaiting the gang’s next adventure.” – Sebastian

Rum Luck is the first book in the Bar on a Beach Mystery series.
