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.

I enjoyed all the books in The Forgotten Coast series. I loved following the characters through all of the interesting story lines
A series of stories of a female detective in a rural sea coast town..her personal battles and what goes on in a small oyster harvesting town..
This series was an excellent read, action packed and kept my interest, interesting characters also!
Wow, I have a new favorite author. The characters are so well drawn, even the bad guys. The authors love of this part of the Florida coast is evident and beautifully written about. I never dreamed I would like these “books” so very much. But, every time I am able to sit down and read more, I become more intrigued than the time before. I love these people, and I love this setting. So well done.
Loved all four books can’t wait to read the next four!!!
A fun fast read that was full of emotion and suspense!!! I want my friends to read this one and love it with me.
The characters are great and the humor is fabulous!
I read all four of the “forgotten Coast Suspense Series” and loved every minute. This story has plot twists that I never saw coming. I hated to put the books down. Now I am eager to read the rest of the series.
I enjoyed this series and the characters in it. It was a good read all the way through each book. There was a lot of witty humor along with the suspense. I would recommend this book to others.
Love the characters!
great read,cannot wait for the next book in series
Enjoyed it as we live in Florida. Very good
These stories exceeded my expectations for a collection. While not particularly lengthy, the plots are clever and the characters pretty real. Also, they are well written, with minimal errors – very refreshing. I could easily see these people in a tv series. Fun read.
Loved this series
Action packed filled with characters you can identify with.
Découvrir la série imaginée par Dawn Lee McKenna a été un choc. Rarement on a l’occasion de suivre des personnages aussi fascinants dans un monde de fiction aussi savamment orchestré. Les romans proposés par Mme McKenna sont tous passionnants et offrent l’image d’un monde dur où la violence affleure régulièrement. Ses protagonistes sont tous originaux et attachants. Mme McKenna réussit même à rendre crédible une relation amoureuse adulte, tendre, pudique et pleine d’humour. Et pour l’européenne que je suis, l’évocation de la Floride est irrésistible. Un MUST READ !

These books kept me totally interested. I used to live in Florida so many of the places were familiar to me. I intend to read the rest of the series.
The first two in the series were interesting but the third was too far fetched with too much detail to be of much interest
Too many scenes of hero/ hero’s family in peril. This just doesn’t happen
