Reader Reviews
It's no secret that Julie Anne Lindsey is one of my favorite authors. When I had the opportunity to read a revamped ARC of Murder by the Seaside for the re-release, I jumped at the chance.

I'm not sure I have sufficient words to describe how thoroughly I disliked this book. One star is at least a hundred too many.Plot: Absurd. Ridiculous. Main character: Absurd. TSTL. Shallow. Selfish. And this ditz wants to be a counselor? GMAFB.Not recommended to anyone.
I liked this story and I hope it's book one of many. The lovely island of Chincoteague is the setting for this humorous, fast moving, twisting murder mystery with just the beginning of two men vying for Patience's attention. The FBI and local authorities join forces to solve this mystery. An enjoyable read
