Halloween Mystery? I like it, but can see how it would be boring...
Did you like Beware Dawn?

This book is forever going to remind me of The Adventures of Kimmy Schmidt! (If you haven't seen it, one of the characters "fakes" a boyfriend and basically ends up describing Thrash and it called out by Kimmy who has read the BSC series when she was trapped in a bunker for many years). I feel like this mystery would have been best left unresolved, like Ghost Cat. I liked the idea of the surfer ghost but I question how Trash would be able to surf without being noticed, even at night (he'd eventually have to come back to shore). Haha! I just watched this Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt episode! I noticed the book straight away and was surprised they referred to it as a sub plot.

I liked this one back in the day. Now I think it's just alright, but I honestly don't have much to say about it. As mysteries go, it's pretty weak. I like the setting, though, and I like Dawn's California books. Surfing descriptions were kind of cringy to me for some reason.
I love Mrs. Winslow and she is in this book. Granted, barely, but still.
I think I like this Maggie and Jill better than CD Maggie and Jill. Maggie is much more interesting imo and I would totally have been friends with Jill.
Thrash is a pretty interesting character for the BSC verse, but I'm not sure I buy Dawn talking him in to going to the police. Idk why, it just feels too easy to me. As usual for mysteries, the ending was a bit rushed.

The surfing descriptions are totally radical. (In fact, the first post on the literature page is the BSC. They do it so often!)

But that's wild! I feel like I do this irl, so I can actually relate (I say things like "hella" and "tight" sometimes. I think it's because I grew up in the 90s).
