Murder by the Seaside by Julie Ann Lindsey My Review

 

About the book 

Sun, Sand and … Murder?

Downsized from the FBI’s human resources department on the Virginia mainland, Patience Price is setting up shop as a Counselor at Large in her quirky island town. And she’s making the best of her reinvention, until a high school boyfriend is accused of murder, and his determined mama wants Patience to save his hide.

Local golden boy, Adrian Davis, once crushed Patience’s teenage heart, and now he needed her help? She can’t help offering a chef’s kiss to Karma.

Not that Patience holds a grudge.

Reluctantly, she agrees to look into the case, with the help of a hunky former coworker, but what she finds will rock their coastal community to its core, and put Patience on a lurking killer’s hitlist.

And I thought 

I was happy to get the chance to read book 1 in the series. 

 

I was happy that the author could re-launch giving readers a chance to enjoy it.  

The original books have been out of print for several years.  I was lucky to find book 3 in a local store. 

I really enjoyed it so getting a chance to read book 1 made me super happy. 

I loved all the characters!  

Patience and her entourage just make you smile.  

Patience is a great main character that you'll as much as the townspeople love her.  

Well except for the villains that want her dead.  But in this one the super bad guy had a hard time because he liked her too.  But being a villain he had to do what he had to do and try and try again and again to knock her off. 

There is a  love triangle in the series.   

Patience high school boyfriend Adrian still wants a chance.  

Patience is not making any declarations between Adrian and the  super FBI hunk Sebastian. 

Adrian and Sebastian end up in sort of a truce as they both will do anything to keep Patience out of trouble and alive. 

They make a truce and in  the end giving each nick names.  

Adrian calls Sebastian Bond or James.  And Sebastian calls Adrian Fugitive since was accused of the crimes.  

No spoilers here but Adrian didn't do it. 

I loved this one.  And I am anxiously waiting to read book 2. 

I received a complimentary ARC copy from the author to be celebrate the be Re-launch. 

My review be will appear on Amazon and Good my Reads.
