Local Girl Gets Dead,
By Vesta Irene (the Pacific Northwest) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Death at High Tide:: A Jersey Shore Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
Ghostwriter Anne Hardaway is ghosting the autobiography of movie star Mallory Loving, who is in town doing her latest movie, but the conservative townsfolk of Oceanside Heights are appalled at decadence the star has brought into their midst and the fact that Loving grew up there, married a local, then dumped him is another reason for the town to resent her.Mallory and her ego plague the production and when she vanished, then turns up dead, nobody seems to care very much and the death is ruled accidental. But the star had been repeatedly threatened and Anne suspects foul play, and the more questions she asks, the more she's sure of it, because it seems there is someone who will stop at nothing to keep her quiet. Secrets abound, but is there one worth killing for? Can Anne find out before she becomes a victim herself? Reviewed by Vesta Irene

Local Girl Gets Murdered,
By
This review is from: Death at High Tide:: A Jersey Shore Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
Mallory Loving has already had her star rise and fall in the competitive world of Hollywood. She's returned to Oceanside Heights to film what will hopefully be her comeback picture. Meanwhile, Anne Hardaway is trying to get the information she needs to ghost Mallory's autobiography. The star promises information, but doesn't really deliver. Things aren't easy on the set, either, as accidents keep delaying the filming. Then Mallory vanishes, only to show up dead. None of her co-workers on the film seem upset at this turn of events, and Anne is sure that solving the murder will be just the ending her book needs. But will she be able to sift through the suspects and find the real killer?This is the second Jersey shore mystery staring Anne Hardaway. The plot starts out a little slow, but quickly gains speed and doesn't slow down until the climax. There were enough twists to have me completely confused until the very last page. I love the resort town setting; the author makes it seem very inviting. The biggest problem is the little time returning characters get. Anne interacts almost exclusively with the suspects. While they're interesting, getting to see her with a few friends helps define her character better. Anyone looking for a fun setting with complex plots need look no further. Time spent on the Jersey Shore with Anne is fun but certainly not relaxing.

The Ending is so Convulted and Confusing, it's Ridiculous,
By A Customer
This review is from: Death at High Tide:: A Jersey Shore Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
Save your money on this one. Very uninteresting and the ending is so crazy, you'll be annoyed that you bothered to finish it. Still don't even know who's alive and who's dead, nor do I care.
