Customer Reviews

Excellent beach chair by the ocean book

Visiting Ocean City since I was very small, I found this book very relaxing and entertaing. It took me back to the place my heart will always be, in Ocean City.

A great and fun read

I enjoyed the book immensely. Ms. Kelly's character development and wry sense of humor are both excellent. She obviously knows Ocean City well because her settings are accurate. I hope she has another book out in the near future; I will definitely buy it.

A great combination of mystery and humor

A dead boss, a handsome stranger, and a wacky assortment of co-workers and local characters keep Meg Daniels' vacation at the Jersey shore anything but dull. Meg is both funny and likeable, and her quest to find the murderer(along with intriguing P.I. Andy Beck), salvage her vacation, and stay alive combine for a really absorbing and entertaining page-turner.

Perfect summer reading.

The fun begins when Meg Daniels goes on vacation only to find that she has rented the house next to her boss. What could be worse? Well, there is plenty that is worse for her. When his body is found on the beach, she becomes the number one suspect. I became engrossed as Meg fell for a handsome gentleman she doesn't quite trust. The suspense builds as she tries to figure out who did her boss in so that she can exonerate herself. The story is told with a sense of wit and humor and is thoroughly enjoyable throughout. It's the perfect book for the beach.

Ms. Kelly has given us a terrific summer read.

Nancy Drew is alive and well and is now a semi-sexual, thirty-something with a sense of humor. "Killing Time in Ocean City" is a terrific read - no pun intended. Whether you've heard of the Jersey Devil or been to the shore (not the beach) in Ocean City, NJ or not, I think you'll enjoy this literary trip.
