A review by cdibble
Smile Beach Murder by Alicia Bessette

3.0

I adore cozy mystery novels but this one fell flat. I want a Jessica Fletcher vibe but instead got muddled chaos.

It was great character development and great story line. But it felt like we were throwing EVERYTHING into this book. Alcoholism, meeting a shark expert, racism in an old factory. Like. I get having red herrings but there were too many.

I will read the next one in the series because I hope it gets better.
