I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy from the Great Escapes Book Tours. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Can Lucy with the help of Paco be able to figure out what happened to Abby?


Beach Blanket Homicide by Maria Geraci is a wonderful cozy and one that I fell in love with from the start. Lucy McGruffin is a great character and a real hoot. So much about this book is good. I especially liked the killer as I thought it was a completely different person.

What I like:



  • Written in the first-person with Lucy McGuffin, our sleuth, being the narrator. I enjoy getting inside Lucy's head and seeing how she figures things out. 

  • I like that the main character bakes muffins and is trying to enter a competition on tv.

  • Lucy loves animals despite being allergic to their fur and is trying to find a way to keep Paco.

  • The way that she uncovers the clues are cool.

  • Lucy puts the past behind her and Brittany for Will. Will is her best friend and crush and is a friend of her brother’s.


What I don’t like:


I liked the book a lot that I don’t think that I have a dislike for it. Though I thought that I knew who did it, I was lead astray by a red herring.

Five Star


Beach Blanket Homicide by Maria Geraci has a marvelous mystery, and this book starts off a fabulous new series. Lucy, Paco, Will, Sebastian, Brittany, and Sarah are the greatest characters ever. I can’t wait to see what will happen with these six characters within this series. I am giving it a five-star rating and recommending it to anyone that likes cozy mysteries.
