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.

Enjoyed read..
Good read
a very good read! Enjoyed it very much.
A superb author who has scored another home-run with this book. I loved it and think you will too. You’ll feel like you are there watching the action instead of reading it.
Excellent read. Read this book and you wo be hooked. The Forgotten Coast series is exciting and suspenseful. I highly recommend all of Dawn’s books.
I love the novels by this author. Develops characters and plot well with small twists and turns that you don’t always see coming.
Looking forward to reading this author again
Another good read from this series. Character development is getting better.
I really enjoyed this book and now want to start at the beginning of the series. I liked the characters. Well written.
I enjoy mystery and thrillers. This is a combination of both! Very good writer I’ve enjoyed several of her books. Never disappointed with her writing.
I read a couple of these books in this series &I plan on getting some more. This is a good read & each book brings you in to the next.
I enjoyed the continuation of the series
I really love the Appalach setting. It adds a lot to the story and i really find the frenetic rooster entertaining.
Suffered from too many incidental characters
The characters and the twists
This is a fast read and a good “Beach Book”
couldn’t put it down, have read to book 5 & I am hooked!
A very good “who done it” with some interesting twists.
We vacation in this area so it’s nice to read a mystery from an area that you know.
Okay writing but a weak ending and lots of wasted words on stoopid stuff. Read the book and see what I mean. Or don’t waste your time reading it and read something better. A rather pedestrian effort from someone who has written a lot but doesn’t really impress.
