Missed the earlier books in the series? Now’s a great time to catch up! Special Kindle Countdown Deals on the first nine books, Sep 4-11, to celebrate the release of the 10th book, Overboard.In Apalachicola, FL, what goes in the river doesn’t always stay there.When some locals find a dead woman in the jaws of a gator, it’s fairly upsetting. When Lt. Maggie Redmond finds lifelong friend Axel … fairly upsetting. When Lt. Maggie Redmond finds lifelong friend Axel Blackwell in the dead woman’s hotel room, it’s a little more upsetting than that.
Axel becomes the chief suspect in his ex-wife’s murder, but Maggie is convinced that he would never harm the beautiful but tragic Marisol Corzo.
As Axel deals with his loss, and the potential loss of his freedom, Maggie works to unravel the evidence, evidence that suggests Marisol brought about her own demise. Drug dealers from down south seek to expand their commerce to the sleepy, coastal town of Apalachicola, FL, and it seems that the dead woman is the one who led them there.
As Maggie tries to understand who Marisol really was, she also comes to terms with who she really is, and with her true connection to town crime lord Bennett Boudreaux.
Told with the dry humor, rich coastal atmosphere, and character-driven suspense for which the series is known, Apparent Wind is the 7th book in the Forgotten Coast Florida Suspense series. Although the series is best enjoyed read in order, Apparent Wind can be read as a standalone novel.
What readers are saying about the Forgotten Coast Florida Suspense Series
Not only does McKenna not disappoint, she exceeds already high expectations with this exciting, well-written sequel. The characters are multi-layered, their actions believable. And as McKenna showed in Low Tide, she can wallop you when you least expect it.
If only Dawn McKenna could write as fast as we can read.
Very few people write southerners well. This author is right there among the very best.
The forgotten Coast series has gotten like a great TV series you can’t wait for the next one to come out so you can see where its leading.
Not just absorbing and full of surprises, but impossible to predict. McKenna has an amazingly fertile imagination.
I discovered this series quite by accident. I love her in-depth characterizations, vivid imagery, and witty dialogue, all reminiscent of James Lee Burke. It’s rare to find this quality of writing on Kindle Unlimited.
The Forgotten Coast series has lyrical writing that is descriptive without going overboard (no pun intended) and a truly thrilling story line with well developed characters.

I will read anything by Dawn McKenna! I’m on book #9. Enjoyable, easy reading.
I liked the continuing story of the relationships of the characters.
Love this series! Wish the books were longer!
I finished this book last night and was sorry to reach the end so quickly! My initial reaction was frustration that so many characters were introduced in the first two chapters but, hey, I read at night after I go to bed and am not necessarily super-sharp. I had also not read any other books in this series, much to my regret, as I enjoyed the characters, pacing, plot and even the setting as I have actually been to Apalachicola. I definitely recommend it, but start with the first book.
Very well written. A completely enjoyable reaf
I love this book about a small town in Florida. It’s a good mystery and easy to read.
Interesting plot and good dialogue. I liked the protagonist. However, the book ended abruptly without really solving the murder. I like police procedurals and this did not tie up the evidence neatly enough for me. There were too many loose ends. I was enjoying the book. I like for a book to be good enough that I don’t want it to end. Sadly, for me at least, it seemed the author just grew tired of writing and said we can be done here.
I enjoy her books and characters, I just wish they were longer. They seem to end with unanswered questions about people.
all her books are not put down till read . Have most all her books. Fantastic.
Love the rooster, Stoopid
Did not like the ending !
Let’s discuss our feelings. Now some more. Some more, please. Oh yummy, yummy, feelings. More please.
This book was okay and perfect for just a quick read lounging around. It didn’t take much imagination to follow through to the end story so nothing unexpected.
I loved this book and highly recommend it
Love anything this author writes. Buy her books on day they become available.
Technically quite well written. Must be part of a series because of all the allusions to experiences of the characters not fully explored, or, in other words, the characters are not completely explored in this book. The setting is Apalachicola FL, described quite accurately – sleepy little town on the forgotten coast.
The main characters
Very good read, looking forward to the next book!
I have read a few in this series. I enjoy the complex flawed characters. Some have long histories, others recent but the different perceptions as the characters reflect on their lives adds dimension. The murder plot is never as it seems.
Read the entire series, start with the first.
I really enjoy this series.
