What can be better than a summer cruise?
Former 1970s teen idol and TV sleuth, Sandy Fairfax grabs a gig on a cruise ship and takes his musician blind sister with him. Only Sandy gets more celebrity than he may have wanted when someone is found dead, in his room, strangled, with one of his scarves. As with most cruises, there is a variety of passengers and suspects: the president of Sandy's fan club, a piano-playing cowboy, a magician, a comic/ventriloquist and his dummy, a choreographer and an old girlfriend. This is a feel-good cozy offering beach-giggles along with a fast paced mystery keeping you guessing.… (plus d'informations)

4 STARS

This is the first book in the Sandy Fairfax Teen Idol Mysteries series. I did not realize that at first and was getting confused. I had already read
The Sinister Sitcom Caper. So I was confused that they were introducing stuff that I already knew about.

I liked The Baffled Beatlemaniac Caper. I would recommend reading them in order but they can stand alone.

I liked the characters. Sandy Fairfax seems like a real tv star. I liked all the references to Hardy boys Mysteries, Donny Osmond and Beatles. I admit to living through those days.

Sandy Fairfax was a tv character that solved mysteries. He also sang. He was on a different network and up against the Hardy boys. Like some stars he did drugs and drank to much.

Ernest has not worked for five years. He stopped drinking the day before this book started. His ex-wife will not let him see his kids till he stops drinking and is working again. He is broke or close to it. So he agrees to go to a Beatle convention. Ringo was a guest star on his detective tv show.

Bunny is a big fan of Sandy Fairfax. She is one of the sponsers for this convention. It is run on a shoe string. It is the first one in Evansville, Indiana.

Their is a Beatle tribute concert. One of the band members turns up dead. Ernest finds the body and is a suspect.

Their is a lot of trivia about the sixties, Beatles. Lots of humor, action, drama and murder mystery. It is also a clean read. It hits the right tones to be believable convention. Makes me want to go to one.

The story mostly takes place in a couple of days at the motel where the convention is staying in Evansville, Indiana.

This is a fun mystery series. I have enjoyed both books but I like Baffled Beatlemaniac Caper best. I look forward to reading more of this series.

I was given this ebook to read and in return agreed to give honest review of it.
