Death in Surfside is another fun Myrtle Beach Mystery by Caleb Wygal. It is essentially a crossover of his two series, Myrtle Beach Mystery and the Lucas Caine series. A person unfamiliar with the Lucas Caine series would still enjoy this book. I really enjoy Wygal’s books, but I do feel that at times he bogs down the flow with unnecessary repetition of background information that are B- or C-level plotlines to the main plot. I don't read many fiction books, so maybe this is typical of fiction writing. Maybe this excessive repetition is important for readers who pick up a random book in a series. If that is the case, maybe each book after the first has an opening chapter to catch new readers up on the characters from previous books. Regardless, I'll keep reading the Myrtle Beach Mystery series as long as Caleb Wygal keeps writing them.

I have enjoyed each book in this series…….but I am definitely waiting for the next book …….book number 10…… because of the last chapter!! I was so involved in this book, that I finished it in one day……

You can’t move south without becoming familiar with both north and South Carolina waterfront history. I read these fun beach reads to get a good sense of history and today’s familiar popular places to check out.

Another wonderful book from Caleb Wygal. I have read all of the books in this series and have enjoyed them all. It is fun reading about the area we live in and all of the familiar places he mentions. This last book ended on a cliffhanger. I can't wait to read the sequel.
