We all need a light book after reading some heavier books and this first book in the Beach Reading series provided it. The descriptions of San Francisco made me feel like I was there. The characters of Artie, Tim and Harley were well done and very likable. The ending left the reader hanging just enough to look forward to the next book. Pick this lightly entertaining book after you've read something heavy. ( ) What's a guy to do, go to what's being billed as the disco party of the decade or protest the arrival in town of a homophobic preacher? Unfortunately Tim Snow has to work at his job as a waiter that night. This was bizarre as the first installment of a mystery series in that no crime was committed. One was planned but by the time we found out about it the would-be perpetrators had changed their minds. Also, local colour is all very well but the author needs to realise that we don't all have a map of San Francisco in our heads. I will take this as an extended introduction and read the next in the series but it's going to have to be good to persuade me to continue past that. no reviews | add a review
