You can take the detective out of the investigation, but you can’t take the investigator out of the detective.A notorious gang puts a bounty on Detective Cady Matthews’s head after she takes down their leader, leaving her no choice but to hide until she can testify at trial. But her temporary home across the country on a remote North Carolina island isn’t as peaceful as she initially thinks. … thinks.
Living under the new identity of Cassidy Livingston, she struggles to keep her investigative skills tucked away, especially after a body washes ashore. When local police bungle the murder investigation, she can’t resist stepping in. But Cassidy is supposed to be keeping a low profile. One wrong move could lead to both her discovery and her demise.
Can she bring justice to the island . . . or will the hidden currents surrounding her pull her under for good?

The basic plot was interesting but I didn’t much like the heroine. She had too much attitude and was rude. Perhaps was meant to be that way. The potential love interest was much nicer.
Great story line. I like Christy Barritt’s books.
Loved this book. I plan on reading more of her books
The book has twist and turns that held my attention until the end. plan on reading the series. Well worth time spent reading it.
I enjoyed the plot within the story.
Very good read, liked the suspense
Enjoyed thoroughly. Want to read rest in this series
Enjoyed reading as officer in witness protection tried to stay out of investigation where she was living.
Fun to read!
Nice start to a continuing saga. Draws the reader in quickly. Good use of past/present action alternately. Characters are sympathetic and sometimes whimsical. I went on to read entire series and enjoyed each one for a quick and entertaining summer read.
I’m waiting to read more of the series!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. When I read fiction, I read it to enjoy it. As long as the author provides a good story, I don’t nitpick…normally. Hidden Currents was moving right along when I realized I had gotten too far without enough plot closure. At this point, I went to the end of the book where they usually talk about next in a series. Sure enough, this is more then a three book series. I have a pet peeve in that I don’t like series longer then 3 books. By then, the characters should be fully mature, and I expect to have the plot resolved by then. I guess I want a snippet into a characters life, I don’t want to follow them cradle to grave. Anyway, I no sooner realized that the greater plot wasn’t going to resolve, when I also realized that the story (sub-plot) was going to have to come to a screeching halt. Sure enough, the final chapter abruptly closed the story. It was like the word count was reached and the book ran out of room. Which left our main characters and their relationships unresolved. So now what? Read the last book in the series? Read the entire series? In the end, there are millions of books out there and the series plot will remain unfinished for me. It is worth repeating, even if you skip the series, read at least one of the books, Christy spins a fun tale and you will enjoy the read, and who knows, you may persevere and read the entire six book series!
Great book, very engaging.
Fun read but it seemed like it would appeal more to younger readers than an older person but still enjoyed it.
Great mystery. Fun reading.
I couldn’t put this book down. Loved it!
A wonderfully written page turner!! Didn’t want to put it down! I hope to find more by this author!!
Once again I am caught up in Christy Barritt’s series. Good one in the Lantern Beach series was intriguing, and I am now starting #2 -Flood Watch. Her books are always full of mystery and adventure.
I loved this whole series!! Just finished the last book. Each book only took a couple of days to read. I’ve read several books by this author. Love them!!
I love this series, but hate that each is a cliffhanger and you have to read the next book in hopes of finally getting a resolution to the story. Love the stories but will think twice before buying more books in a series by this author.
