Read books 1 + 2. Waiting for the third book of the trilogy to come out so I get the rest of the background story concluded.
This book has become an all time favorite. Loved the story line, the set up for the series, the characters, the setting, all rolled together to become a great story. I usually only get time to read before bed and this is a book that made me anxious to get there so I could read more. I love Christy Barritt’s books. She’s a new favorite and I can’t read her books fast enough. All of them are just as good. Can’t wait for the next book.
Hidden Currents is the first in the new Lantern Beach Mysteries by Christy Barritt. I absolutely loved this story. I couldn’t put it down. Cassidy, a detective from Seattle, is on the run from a dangerous gang who wants her dead. She is hiding out in a small town in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Not long after she arrives, a murder takes place and Cassidy can’t help but try to solve it. It’s just in her blood! Even though they got off to a rocky start, she ends up teaming up with her neighbor Ty, a former Navy Seal, to help figure out who the murderer is. All the while, Cassidy has to continue to watch her back to make sure no one has figured out where she is. This novel is full of nail-biting suspense, quirky characters, and even an ice cream truck full of mystery. Give it a try! You won’t be disappointed! I can’t wait for Book 2 to see what happens next!
I was given a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
I enjoy Christie Barrett’’s books so much! I can’t put them down!
Anything written by Christy is a must
