Wrong Beach Island

Meg Daniels has good reason to be grumpy: she and PI beau Andy Beck were supposed to be vacationing in Antigua, but thanks to Andy's manipulative bombshell of an ex, he's signed on to investigate the death of her sugar daddy husband. Andy becomes a suspect; Meg looks for ways to clear him; the bombshell's got tricks up her sleeve; and the dead man possesses a secret past (not to mention a long list of aliases) in Jane Kelly's Wrong Beach Island, a Jersey Shore mystery that's boosted by short chapters and a clipping pace, but marred somewhat by Meg's frequent gristly New York attitude.
