Goodreads asked Marilyn Meredith:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Marilyn Meredith Murder in the Worst Degree is the latest. A friend gave me the title and I started writing. Because that series is set in beach town, in this book, the ocean played a big part in the beginning. I also decided to include the old guys who hang out at McDonald's (you'll find them at every McD's), and I thought about things that happened while I lived at the beach and the plot started coming together. However, I didn't know how the title was going to tie into the story until I was nearly done.
