Murder On The Beach by Todd Lowry.

Dan Smith is a detective with the LAPD and he thinks with his dick. A body is found on the beach and it is Dan’s case to catch the murderer.

Followers of regular crime thrillers will find this book poor. The plot is shallow, the scenes are silly and this whole book is a fantasy, Dan is obsessed with his dick and is not bothered that it can get in the way of his investigation. Do not let the title confuse you, this is nothing like the excellent British television crime drama called Broadchurch, which revolved around a murdered body found on a beach.

Murder On The Beach is rather funny to read, in the same way you can enjoy, for all the wrong reasons, a B movie. There are typos on every page and the grammar is appalling. It is not realistic and the characterization is puerile. This is a silly story that has as it’s main theme some soft porn as Dan explores the BDSM scene for the first time.

This book does make you smile and Dan is clearly happy in his work. It is the most light hearted crime thriller book I have ever read! Yes, it is trashy and cheap. It will not win any prizes for writing quality but this is a fun read. Take this book for what it is and it will amuse you, it is not serious but a harmless distraction. Although there is a fair bit of sex woven into the story, it is not shocking and will not offend most adults. This is an okay read that kept me amused and I will vote it 3 stars for the chuckle it gave me.

Murder On The Beach is available as an Amazon Kindle eBook and was written in 2012.
