Murder by Death

I'm almost embarrassed to admit this, but I don't read when I'm at the beach.  While I'm notorious for reading in the near-dark, the bright sun of a Florida beach (my home state) is too bright.  Plus breeze, sand, sunscreen - none of it equals my ideal reading conditions.  I'd rather be in the water or scanning the sand for interesting treasures.

*But* I will be flying home at the end of the month and I'll be making a direct beeline for the beach and if I did plan to bring a book, this is the one I'd bring.  It's a mystery that takes place on Siesta Key Beach - I spent my adolescence on that beach and on that key so it just seems fitting.
