Book Description

October 1, 1997
After being jolted from a sound sleep by police early in her vacation, Meg Daniels discovers that her former boss at Markshell Publications, D.K. Bascombe, has turned up dead near her rented beach house in Ocean City, New Jersey. A series of suspicious circumstances turns Meg into a prime suspect in his murder, and the evidence against her seems to be mounting every minute. Along the way the action shifts from Ocean City to Atlantic City to the Pine Barrens, with Meg frantically hunting for answers while she herself becomes a target of the killer.

This novel from Plexus Publishing, Inc. is an exciting and suspenseful thriller based in southern New Jersey. The familiarity of the author to the shore areas of South Jersey brings a fun, real life dimension for the local reader to this suspense filled "whodunit". The easily readable short chapters will keep you turning the pages from the moment the body is discovered through the book's exciting conclusion.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great combination of mystery and humor, October 8, 1998
This review is from: Killing Time in Ocean City (Hardcover)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Meg Daniels is an Engaging Character, October 15, 2003
By 
"lisayoung65" (Oceanport, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Killing Time in Ocean City (Hardcover)
Jane Kelly's unique style made Killing Time in Ocean City an enjoyable read. Meg Daniels, a very amateur sleuth with an unusual sense of humor, had my sympathy from page one as her vacation, begun in a blenderful of punch, is interruped by the police and accusations of murder. And while I'm not entirely sure I like Andy Beck, the author's physical description of him certainly held my interest!

Killing Time is filled with Meg's often laugh-out-loud internal dialog, such as when she is looking at a frog clinging to her pants, and thinks "...but stared at me with eyes that would have been far more attractive on a much larger animal."

I look forward to the next two Jane Kelly books I have on my shelf and hope there are more to follow.
