Book Club [September]: Beach Party

For our second book of the book club series, we read “Beach Party” by Amy Sheppard. This was a particularly fun buddy read, as we read it whilst on our girls trip in Portugal! The Algarve was a world away from the blustery Cornish coast where the book takes place, which made it all the more fun as a breezy, beachy, murder mystery to dive into. The many red herrings and double twist in the book were no match for Ayesha’s detective skills, but still kept Julia on her toes.  After a quick synopsis, we talk about the characters, the writing, and the big reveal – covering all the things that we liked and the many that annoyed us (as usual).  The best part about reading this one was getting to yell out our thoughts to each other from the next sunbed over, and we highly recommend doing a buddy read with friends the next time you are on a group trip!
