3.5

Smile Beach Murder was a solid 3.5-star cozy mystery—a light, satisfying read that hit the right notes for a beach day. The setting was charming, the mystery unfolded at a gentle pace, and while it wasn’t groundbreaking, it delivered exactly what I was in the A good pick if you’re looking for something low-stakes, relaxing, and pleasantly twisty.

“It’ll be there when you’re ready. That’s the great thing about books.”

A cute summertime cozy mystery. It became a bit slow in the middle but the beach town with a bookshop that has a cat with a social media page aesthetic kept me going.

Format: physical book (the hardcover edition I got from my local library was the PERFECT sized book to curl up in a chair and read)
