From Publishers Weekly

From the moment cautious Tilly Snapp learns that her eccentric aunt Ginger has died while nude parasailing at night on a trip to Jamaica, her life flips into fast forward. Not only has Ginger willed her Bostonian niece a risqué boutique in Miami's South Beach, she's left a more dubious legacy: a suspicious link to a valuable stolen chest containing sex paraphernalia and known as the pillow box of Win Win Poo. Soon all sorts of suspicious characters are tailing Tilly, including irresistible Interpol agent Will Maitland. With the help of two enthusiastic girlfriends and her aunt's oddball collection of tenants, Tilly sets out to find Ginger's killer. What she learns convinces her that she must handle this case alone, despite a growing attraction to attentive agent Maitland. She leads her followers on an international hopscotch filled with puns and wisecracks, most on the mark and some downright hilarious. Klassel (She Who Laughs Last) deftly balances plot twists, relationships and Tilly's transformation from a frump to a hip chick as the author stakes out a claim to territory popularized by Janet Evanovich, Jennifer Crusie and Lisa Scottoline.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Tropical Mystery, October 20, 2005
By 
cb (Minot, ND) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
This review is from: It Happened in South Beach (Mass Market Paperback)
`It Happened In South Beach' by Jennie Klassel is a mystery with a splash of romance. Tilly goes to Florida to settle her eccentric aunt's estate only to find that she was murdered. Tilly becomes a `person of interest' with tall dark and handsome Special Agent Will Maitland of Interpol. Her aunt owned an antique sex shop, which adds so some interesting storylines. The author has Tilly talking to her alter egos and bizarre erotic dreams, which is an interesting idea but it was not effective. This was not my favorite book of the year but I think this author has potential.

3.0 out of 5 stars It was ok, but not what I expected., August 23, 2010

This review is from: It Happened in South Beach (Mass Market Paperback)
The story itself was ok. It turned out to be a little more mystery than romance. I did a search of erotic romance and this book came up. Since I was going to read it on the beach I thought it sounded good. But where was the erotic part? The only thing erotic was the fact that her aunt, then she owned a sex shop.

This book was great fun to read! Nice writing style, very humorous, good characters. I'm hoping a sequel is in the works, because I'd love to read more!
