Jamie August series:
Ocean City Lowdown
book 2 - tba
Ocean City Lowdown introduces Eastern Shore Maryland reporter Jamie August, who has a talent for unearthing more than her editor wants and a weakness for Ravens jerseys and sparkly underwear. She is assigned to cover the grand opening of a big new housing development in Ocean City, Maryland. But instead of writing about wrap-around porches and rattan furnishings, she uncovers kickbacks and payoffs, blackmail and murder.
Jamie's tenacity, smarts, and sheer recklessness—plus some smokin’ striptease dance moves—can get her out of some tight spots, but are they enough to save her from a psychopathic arsonist and two generations of corrupt real estate tycoons?
My two-bits:
Had fun with this read especially because the main character, Jamie, has such a spunky and tough attitude. She has the instinct to right the wrongs using whatever means available which brings about some funny moments as well as sticky situations. In this story environmental issues are tackled.
