Criminal investigator Larry Macklin is enjoying a relaxing family vacation on the Florida coast… until a body washes up next door and all hell breaks loose. It’s soon apparent that the island’s hapless police chief is not up to the task of finding a murderer.As more bodies are discovered, Larry and his father are drawn into the investigation against their will and far out of their jurisdiction. … their jurisdiction. The situation is not improved by the arrival of the local sheriff, Will Duncan, a harsh man who resents the Macklins involvement.
Larry soon finds himself juggling both the murder investigations and his father’s increasingly tense relationship with the rival sheriff. When Duncan charges an innocent man with one of the murders, Larry knows he’s running out of time. Will he be able to find the real killer before his father is arrested for obstruction of justice… or worse?

I enjoyed it. It was easy to follow. And I now want the whole series’s
Good book. Love this series.
I have previously reviewed it
Strong characters drew me into the story quickly.
From the first body discovered to the conclusion I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out who was guilty.
Clues were revealed as the story developed, allowing me to to discover the motive, of not the guilty party before it was revealed.
Comic relief was provided throughout the story by a Great Dane named Mauser.
An enjoyable read.
I plan to go back and buy the previous titles by this author.
Good mystery set in the FL panhandle featuring a father and son sheriff/investigatior duo
I loved this book. It was entertaining, a gteat mystery, and kept me guessing.
A new author for me but definitely will be looking for more of these.
Quick pace with many changes in direction. A fun read with very believable characters
Great book. Couldn’t not put it down.
Entertaining police procedural
A waste of time. I only got about 30% of the way into the book. The main character’s obsession with getting involved in a murder investigation that has absolutely nothing to do with anything else in his life….utterly stupid!!!!
Good story. My first time reading this author. Looking forward to reading more.
i love all these books
Kind of goofy writing style, but the story was well constructed and humorous. It is certainly not something i would have just picked up. It found me and we ended up getting along great! Will definitely read more larry macklin mysteries if i come across them
Really enjoyed this book.
I really enjoyed this book. In fact I ordered three more titles.
Sooo many surprises. Nothing you expect. Great characters
If your a big fan of Great Danes such as myself this book is a special treat. The book was a quick page turning read.
I have never read his books before but I how order April’s book. I like the father son relationship. And the ending was a surprise.
