The Corsario Cove series takes place in a fictional Southern California beach town where the laid-back surf culture meets murder investigations. The five books use surf slang in their titles, starting with Cowabunga Christmas (2015) and running through Bogus Bones (2021).
Anna Celeste Burke sets each mystery around a local event or holiday, from Christmas and New Year’s celebrations to regattas and community gatherings. The beach town setting and playful titles give the series a lighter feel, even when the crimes are serious. Burke published the books over six years, making it one of her steadier series alongside the more prolific Jessica Huntington books.
