Welcome back to Seashell Key, where the sun is hot, the gossip is hotter, and the truth never stays buried.
When a retro 1980s festival sweeps into town, the energy is all neon swimsuits and breakdancing contests—until a mysterious cassette tape from the past plays over the marina speakers. The haunting voice of a long-gone girl echoes across the docks, followed by a sudden death that points fingers in every direction… including at beloved coffee shop owner, Dr. Cash.
Holly, Ben, and the rest of the crew are pulled into a decades-old mystery involving secret notes, hidden cassettes, and a lunchbox full of truth. As the town buzzes with rumor and retro flair, the clock is ticking to solve the case before someone rewinds history in all the wrong ways.
Perfect for fans of coastal cozies, vintage vibes, and small-town secrets, Mixtape Murder is the fifteenth book in the beloved Seashell Key Mysteries series by Lola Finch.
After a vendor died at the 80’s festival, the porch friends did their usual digging into a mixtape that’d been mysteriously left. They eventually found a connection and a very real killer who was on the island. In putting away said killer, a young girl’s voice from 1985 wasn’t lost and her truth came out.
