DIY has a sinister component in historic Apalachicola, Florida
When the local florists find a dead guy in their wall, it opens up a decades-old missing persons case. It also opens up a Pandora’s box of secrets – secrets that might have ramifications for Sheriff’s Office investigator Maggie Redmond.
Maggie and Sheriff Wyatt Hamilton learn that local kingpin Bennett Boudreaux was the primary … Hamilton learn that local kingpin Bennett Boudreaux was the primary suspect in the disappearance of Holden Crawford almost forty years ago, but he had an alibi. The problem is, no one knows what that alibi was. The former sheriff won’t tell, and even Boudreaux himself refuses to say.
When a photograph of Maggie’s own father becomes an important part of the case evidence, learning Boudreaux’s secret becomes even more crucial.
When is going to jail for a murder you didn’t commit preferable to revealing the proof of your innocence? Who is Boudreaux really shielding?
It might be the same person Maggie wants to protect.
Reviews for The Forgotten Coast Florida Suspense series
Okay, I confess – I’m hooked on Dawn Lee McKenna. If she writes it, I’m going to buy it and read it without much thought about it.
Love the stories in this series, and love the characters. I read all I could get and am waiting for more.
Ms. McKenna is a truly gifted writer, especially with her dialogue.
I hope the Forgotten Coast series continues for many, many novels. It’s a heck of a world to get lost inside of, and I really love these characters. But if McKenna kills the rooster, I’ll never forgive her.
Reminded me of HBO’s True Detective with its slightly ominous depiction of southern life.
I must add my praise for this unexpectedly complex book, which I bought because it’s set in a location I’ve loved for years and because I enjoy good mysteries. I’m surprised but very happy to report that McKenna gave me considerably more than I expected.
The dialogue is masterful and her description of Apalachicola is dead-on. You actually feel the humidity and hear the rustle of the palm trees. I was so drawn into the book that I read it in one sitting – I couldn’t put it down.
Taking a chance on a new author and falling in love with their writing style is as cool as discovering a musical group you’ll end up listening to for decades. That is how I felt when I discovered Dawn Lee McKenna’s book, Low Tide. I can see myself reading this author’s books for many years.

I read thebook in 3 days. It kept me interested until the end. Good storyline , keeps you guessing.
Great Florida ambiance you can almost fell yourself walking through that thick, humid air. The characters are engaging and pull you into the fast moving story with lots of twists and turns. Great staying at home on a rainy day book.
Enjoy reading about small FL towns and the mysteries in them.
Best of series so far. Surprises I didn’t see coming. Need to read all books in order to fill in some blanks
I loved this series and was sad when I finished it!
As a recent FL transplant, I particularly enjoyed the Apalachicola location and character portrayals.
I truly enjoyed every volume of this series!!
Just ok..not bad..not great!
I loved this so much, I bought the whole series (7 books) and they were all excellent and I hope the series will be continuing with number 8 sooner, rather than later. Definitely recommend!
Good characters. Good story. Hard to p it d put down.
Good to have on your night stand. Relaxes you for sleep
I enjoyed reading this book …… the characters were so interesting and the plot contained enough twists and turns to make it interesting …. it was a good read!
Love the characters as well as a pet chicken named Stoopid. All of Dawn Lee McKenna’s books are great.
Enjoyable characters and repartee! There is neither sex nor obscenities and very little violence over the course of the book. It’s like reading a book published in another era even though it takes place in today’s world. Light reading!
