Title: Murder by the Seaside
Author: JulieAnne Lindsey
Review:
Patience Price moves home to Chincoteague
island after being downsized by the FBI and decides to use her degree and start
a therapist business. Her first day home
her ex-boyfriend who broke her heart is accused of murder. Patience is asked to
find the real killer by his mom after all she worked for the FBI. However no
matter what Patience tells people they still want her to investigate.
The second Patience sets eyes on Adrian Davis the book
takes a roller coast ride with non-stop action. Since Patience knows she is in
over her head and she calls in a favor to her FBI friends. The more Patience looks into the murder she finds that
someone wants her dead.
This book has
everything from moments of endless humor, drive by shootings, romance and a car
bombing creating the perfect murder mystery. The author makes the reader fall in love with
Patience. She is fun, loyal, girl next door and rolls with the punches that are
thrown at her.
The book has a sweet romance which means there is a
love triangle between Adrian and Patience FBI agent she hired Sebastian. The
main characters are well developed and are true to themselves from beginning to
end which I love.
There are a lot of secondary characters but by far the
best are Patience hippie mom and dad who own a store. Patience mother thinks
she’s a psychic and desires to have Patience work at their store as a tarot
reader. Patience mother never really saw the future but it made for some laugh
out moments.
The author writes the small town perfectly where
gossip runs wild and everyone knows what’s going on so seeing a therapist would
cause more gossip. So instead the townsfolk instead stop by to help Patience in
her different humorous moments.
Murder By the seaside is an entertaining murder
mystery with lots of laughed and non-stop action making this book impossible to
put down.
There are some spelling and grammar errors that took
me out of the book and is the reason I gave it four instead of five stars. I
wish I could tell you what pages but I was reading it on my kindle fire as well
as my iPhone.
Thanks go to Heidi for this review.

Synopsis: Armed
with a new counseling degree, Patience Price is eager to move back home to
Chincoteague Island to help folks with their problems. But she finds the
streets awash in more than East Coast charm. There's been a murder, and Adrian
Davis, the town golden boy who once stomped her heart into a zillion pieces, is
the main suspect. Now he's on the run, claiming he's innocent. Patience finds
this...poetic. Not that she holds a grudge.
Adrian's mom is sure
that with her FBI background Patience can find the truth. Yes, she was at the
FBI--in human resources. Still, she looks into it, but not everyone is happy
with her snooping. Either that, or the welcome wagon has some bold new policies
involving drive-by shootings.
Things really heat up
when a hunky former coworker, an actual FBI agent, arrives to help. But he may
be too late; the quaint island harbors deadly secrets--and Patience is running
out of time.
