Patience is starting over and has hung her shingle in her hometown. She is settling in well to her new profession until she is called on to represent her old boyfriend. His mom is completely convinced that he did not do it, but Patience thinks that turn about is fair play. She finally decides to look into it and what she finds is shocking. Patience must find out what is really going on before it is too late. ( )

This might just be my favorite Julie Anne Lindsey book yet! A hint of romance, quirky humor and an interesting locale make this a must read in my opinion. Patience leaps right off the page as her adventure kicks on when she returned to Pony Island after being terminated from the FBI...where she worked in human resources. Hoping to set up a counseling service on an island where everyone knows everyone’s business may not be the brightest idea she’s had but it’s the one she’s going to run with if she makes it through the first two weeks at home alive, that is. Is she the bumbling sidekick to Sebastian’s 007, a future Jane Bond in her own right or the flower child her parents always wanted her to be? Determined to find her own path I can’t wait to see where the next two books take her.

*I read the 2022 version of this book ( )

The first in new series that takes place on Chincoteague Island is a fast-paced, light yet realistic, fun read.

Patience Price ( called P.P by her dad ) has just returned to her home town after being downsized by the FBI. Her attempts to open a new business, her kooky parents, an old boyfriend in trouble, best friend and potential new beau, and a murder, are described with wit and a touch of 'ohhhhhh noooooooo'!

Definitely a series i will look forward to! ( )

Murder by the Seaside (The Patience Price Mysteries) by Julie Anne Lindsey

4 STARS

I had read Murder in Real Time today and enjoyed it. I love the characters, the mix of characters, mystery, humor and action.
Now I am reading the next book Murder comes Ashore.

Patience Price has been downsized from the FBI. So she came home to Chincoteague Island. She plans to open an office and council others. People don't think she will be able to council anyone because they will be seen. So people come up to her and start talking anywhere then leave her money or they pay something for her. It's funny to see where they will pop up.

Adrian Davis is Patience old boyfriend. He is accused of murder the day she came back home. Adrian's mother wants her to help prove him innocent. Adrian is single.

Sebastian is a FBI agent that Patience has had a crush on so she calls him to pick his brain and he comes to stay a couple of days. Sebastian keeps telling her not to someplace alone but she does and gets in trouble.

The day Patience comes home a murder happens and the accused is Adrian. He asks her for help too and says he is innocent.
Their are roomers that her apartment is haunted. The way people keep getting in I would not stay alone.

I liked this ebook I bought off of Amazon. ( )
