About book Life's A Beach Then You Die (2013)

Light, very light, cozy mystery. He broadcast the killer half way through and his depiction of women led me to believe he's never really met one. I think that's why the wife was gone for most of the book. She's apparently middle aged but looks and acts and dresses like she's 20. There was a lot of filler in this book - pages of what was eaten for breakfast or information about a drive somewhere. I kept thinking maybe it was setup to the murder or the catching of the murderer but sadly, it was just filler. For being a free kindle book, I wasn't expecting much from this. However, I actually really enjoyed it. It was light reading, enjoyable, reasonably suspenseful, and overall a good story. I enjoyed the private investigator viewpoint of the story since I haven't really seen that before. The only downfall was the editing. The writing was good, but the punctuation and grammar errors were too abundant. If it wasn't for the editing, I would have given this five stars. Overall it was well worth the read!
