Book 1: Low Tide In the quaint coastal town of Apalachicola, sinister things are afoot, as sinister things tend to be.
Lt. Maggie Redmond is called to a crime scene on St. George Island, where she is met with the body of Gregory Boudreaux. The medical examiner calls it a suicide, but no one knows that Maggie has a horrible connection to the dead man.
When Gregory’s uncle, Bennett Boudreaux, the richest and scariest man in town, takes a sudden interest in Maggie, people start to wonder, Maggie included. Maggie knows he may suspect her of killing his nephew, but she finds herself slowly drawn to the man.
As Maggie fights to help a young girl escape the clutches of a volatile drug dealer who’d love to see Maggie dead, she also struggles to hide her dark link to a dead man, and her burgeoning relationship with her boss, Sheriff Wyatt Hamilton.
Unfortunately, secrets have a way of revealing themselves at low tide.
Book 2: Riptide Once again, sinister things are afoot in Apalachicola, FL, and one of them is an actual foot.
When a local fisherman finds a severed limb in his net, it sets off a chain of events that no one can anticipate
Lt. Maggie Redmond soon discovers that the foot belongs to the friend of another recently dead guy, Gregory Boudreaux, the man she never told anyone about. Gregory’s death was thought to be a suicide. That seems less likely, now that his best friend Sport’s foot has shown up out of the blue, as it were
When it starts looking like town villain Bennett Boudreaux might be responsible for eliminating Sport, things begin to get a little weird. Especially since Maggie’s started to take a liking to Bennett. She’s also taken a real liking to her boss, Sheriff Wyatt Hamilton, but her growing friendship to Bennett and her secret connection to the dead men threaten her and Wyatt’s relationship.
Is Bennett avenging Maggie for some reason, or does he have something altogether different on his mind?
Book 3: What Washes Up Karma’s alive and well in Apalachicola, Florida, and there are several people who are about to meet it face to face.
When more than a dozen bodies wash up on the beach of St. George Island, the residents of Apalach are outraged, and none more so than investigator Maggie Redmond and Sheriff Wyatt Hamilton. It’s time for the greedy to answer for the lives of innocents.
Meanwhile, a man is found tied to a burning boat in the middle of the bay, and Maggie’s instincts tell her Bennett Boudreaux is behind it.
If he is, Maggie has to decide whether she really wants him punished, or if justice has already been served.
Book 4: Landfall Two storms that nobody thought were coming just made landfall.
As a hurricane gathers its power just off Apalachicola’s shore, another storm comes to a head in Lt. Maggie Redmond’s home.
Held prisoner by a man bent on avenging the death of a son, Maggie must find a way to save herself and her two children. No one knows where they are. No one is coming to help.
Maggie and her children will have to find a way to survive both the madness inside their home and the madness raging outside.

Truly enjoyed this read
I loved all the books in this series. I read most of them over a long weekend. Once I got started I could not quit reading the books. They are not long and are a quick read, but the characters are well-developed. While I was pretty sure I figured out the underlying hook early on, I still felt the need to get to the part of the story that finally made my idea a reality. Even though I did not want it to be true I was still okay with it being true (sounds crazy but it shows the depth of the character development when you can find rooting value for most all of the characters!). I highly recommend these books and hope the writer plans on writing more about Maggie, Wyatt and all the other people I have come to like and respect. All of this and there is no overt sexual scenes, but lots of sexual tension.
This wasn’t what I expected, but I came to enjoy the characters and the story line. Kept me entertained to the end.
Reading about Florida’s Gulf Coast fishing/beach culture was very appealing and these books sent me off looking for fresh raw oysters…not easy to find in Vermont!
It was totally unnecessary to make this into four books. This is a ONE BOOK story. the author used four books so all the intro stuff, description stuff, etc, could be repeated over and over to take up space. If I had actually paid for this, I would have felt ripped off.
This book was a great action packed thriller with a surprise ending. Authentic scenes and characters made this a easy read. I highly recommend this book.
Enjoyed books so much as I have been to Appalichola many times . Everything was so accurate.
Thoroughly enjoyed all four books in the series.
the love shown by Maggie for her children, the love between her and her parents, and special caring she and ex-husband shared was so lovely to read about. I really didn’t want the #4 book to end, but now can look forward to the next books in the series.
excellent writing an’t put it down characters are very clear good read
I loved getting to know all the characters brought to life in this series. The twists and surprises kept me in suspense to the end. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.
Interesting characters and a good read.
Interesting location and characters.
Drew reader into the relationships and feelings.
Just loved this set.
Great development of character traits
Good story and engaging characters. The editing could be better. Lots of typos, but still an enjoyable read.
Great books. Read the whole series. I live in this part of Florida, so I liked the realistic portrayal of our region.
Have read the first one and started the second. Enjoyed the first and it makes you want to know more.
Found myself using google maps to zoom in on Apalachicola. Felt like i was there.
Entertaining, action-packed, unpredictable and maybe a bit too much blood, but a good story that lets you get to know the people.
The rooster named Stoopid is a delightful character addition to the story line.
