A missing person. A severed foot. Plenty of suspects in Mary Keliikoa's Deadly Tides. You wouldn't expect such heinous crimes in sleepy Misty Pines, but that's what Sheriff Jax Turner is investigating. At the same time, his FBI agent ex-wife, Abby, is also investigating a similar missing persons case in a neighboring town. Are the cases connected? Do the crimes have anything to do with competing surfboard businesses or greedy siblings?
While this is a detective novel, it's also a story about grief - grieving over lost loved ones and failed marriages - and what the grief drives a person to do.
This is the second novel in a series, and while I didn't read the first one, I never felt out of the loop. Keliikoa does a good job explaining the characters and their pasts while keeping you in the present, turning page after page because you just have to find out what happens next. I liked the cast of characters in the Misty Pines community and the group of police officers working tirelessly to protect the town and their own.
Deadly Tides is published by Level Best Books and is available to purchase now. I received an e-ARC.
