Cocoa Beach by Beatriz Williams

Cocoa Beach is a spinoff/sequel to [b: A Certain Age|25817466|A Certain Age (A Certain Age, #1)|Beatriz Williams|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1462516131l/25817466._SY75_.jpg|45583549], the events in this book take place in roughly the same span of time as the last third of A Ceratin Age.

Cocoa Beach starts out intriguing enough. Newly widowed Virginia Fitzwilliam arrives in Cocoa Beach, Florida, to settle her husband’s estate. However, she can not escape the feeling that the circumstances surrounding her husband's death are suspicious. She doesn't believe that her husband, Simon Fitzwilliam, is dead.

This book is messy. It's a story dealing with multiple layers of lies and deception. It gets so convoluted and tedious. By the time I got to the end, I had some logistical questions because the book just sweeps away some events off to the side with a one-sentence explanation.

At least I found this book to be a quick read and mildly entertaining enough. I can't say I recommend this book though.
