Praise for David Healey’s other novels
"Anyone who has fixed up an old house or who loves old houses will find reading this mystery set on Maryland's Eastern Shore much more enjoyable than actually having to patch plaster walls and repair old windows themselves. This book jazzes up old house lore with a fresh coat of small-town history and mystery."
—Tamar Myers, bestselling author of the Den of Antiquity and Pennsylvania Dutch mysteries, on The House That Went Down with the Ship
“David Healey peoples his novel with fully fleshed characters, putting them in a setting on Maryland’s Eastern Shore you just know has to be real. Along the way you learn a lot about the work that goes into renovating an old house. He does all this with an easy writing style and sly touches of wry humor.”
—Joe Terrell, author of the Harrison Weaver mysteries, on The House That Went Down with the Ship
"There are some laughs, some sex on the beach, a spooky bad guy who plays really bad music in a beach band, and plenty of landmarks and local flavor included, from the Rehoboth boardwalk to Browseabout Books to Grotto's pizza."
—Omni Mystery News on Beach Bodies
"To the list of potentially fatal risks at the beach - such as riptides, lighting and sunstroke - add being kidnapped for your kidneys. That's the premise of Beach Bodies, the first comic thriller and 13th book by David Healey ... The quiet of the marshes, the behavior of beach cops (‘What do you do, arrest people for wearing sneakers with dress socks?’) and the delicate nesting habits of plovers also matter."
—Ken Mammarella, The News Journal
