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?

Passable.
I liked it, except for the dog.
I really enjoyed this book. It kept me guessing until the last page about who was murdering people on Pelican Island. The characters are wonderful and you really care what happens to them. Can’t wait to read the others in the series.
I enjoyed the story. There were a number storylines that kept my interest. The book didn’t dwell on one area and it kept moving along. The only downside with having too many issues going at once is when the end comes it all happens in a few pages. Kind of a quick let down.
Quick read that keeps you interested
As usual this book, by this author, was entertaining and an easy read.
Love reading mysteries.
