This is the first in a brand new series The Books on the Beach Mysteries by Allison Brook (aka Marilyn Levinson) of the Haunted Library series. I sure loved Evelyn’s ghost character in Haunted Library, but in this series, I think I’m liking Grandma just as much! All these characters were so fun and likable, well except for the ones that weren’t supposed to be liked, lol. The book pulled me in and wouldn’t let go until the end–and I really didn’t want it to let go! Can’t wait for a return visit!

My Goodreads review:
Death on Dickens Island by Allison Brook
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed meeting Delia and her family along with Delia’s new-but-not-new love interest. Her grandma being the ghost in the story was such a fun idea—who wouldn’t’ love talking to their late grandma again, right? Especially if you had tons of questions like Delia did. The dog that followed Delia’s son Connor home was such an awesome pup who decided that Delia and Connor were gonna be his new people.
When Delia’s uncle was being looked at suspiciously after the murder of a council member who’d been acting a little too friendly toward Uncle Brad, Delia was determined she’d get to the bottom of things. Meanwhile, her son and his buddy got involved in what Connor thought for sure sure was a real treasure map. Chaos ensued of course. The very public showdown featuring the killer of the council member was a good one that had a super satisfying outcome. I didn’t want the book to end and can’t wait for the next one!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book provided by Crooked Lane via NetGalley, and my opinions are my own.
