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.

Intelligent writing portraying real characters in engrossing mysteries
What more could one ask of a story. I read all of the books in this series pretty much non-stop. Highly recommend.
Great books, love the series.
An enjoyable read especially if you have spent some time on the Gulf Coast!
I read the entire series. When I finished the first book, I was anxious for the second. The characters seemed to come to life on the page. The plot drew you in and then change direction. The lieutenant and the sherif had a humurous relationship even when dealing with serious subjects.
As a Florida resident, loved the images and character s.
I found this book set to be entertaining, with great characters. The books are easy to follow, and will keep you guessing to the end.
A very enjoyable series. The two main characters Maggie and Wyatt have a great relationship – both professional and personal
Good series for a weekend at the beach. Strong main female character which is unusual but a nice read.
I love the characters, their quirkiness, and the surprises. Also the stories are action packed. Great author would read anything by her

Easy read. Moved along at a good pace. Somewhat amusing at times. Happy endings.
Great series, enjoyed it immensely.
Just a nice easy read…from book to book it was ok.
The author had something working from the first book to the last that answered the questions that had been on everyone’s mind the why. Once you knew the why everything came to together. Enjoyable read.
Interesting characters along with mystery and romance. Each book has its own primary storyline but I strongly recommend you read the series in order.
All are nice reads!
Brett had developed a character truly believable and exciting
