She never asked to be a hero. Heroes seldom do.
Nearly a century ago, a treasure of unimaginable value was lost beneath the tropical waters of the Florida Keys.

This fun, Jimmy Buffett meets Indiana … know.
This fun, Jimmy Buffett meets Indiana Jones style adventure will keep you reading all night. And Fans of Travis McGee or Sam & Remi Fargo will love Kate Kingsbury and the crew at Shark Key Campground and Marina.
It’s taken Kate Kingsbury two years to find peace after her husband was killed in a home invasion. Now she’s found her refuge, living the free and easy boat life at Shark Key Campground and Marina. Except that nothing in life is free. Or easy.
Shark Key is home to a rag-tag group of folks, scraping to get by on an island known more for its lively night-life and exclusive vacation homes than for stable jobs or affordable living. In fact, Kate quickly learns that the average local cobbles together a living from three or more jobs, just to afford their rent. She’s grateful to have Danny’s small pension and a home on a derelict houseboat named Serenity.
Shark Key’s owner, Chuck Miller, is a third generation Conch who’s committed to giving single moms a safe place to raise their kids. Until he gets a little behind on his payments and shady Miami slumlord Monty Baumann swoops in to steal the tranquil little island out from under him.
Shark Key’s last hope is an unbelievable legend from Chuck’s grandfather, a former gangster who worked for the infamous Al Capone. And when the only clue they have is stolen by one of Baumann’s hired thugs, the Shark Key family must band together to retrieve it and find the treasure.
But can they recover it before it’s too late?

It had a good premise but was very boring
Best use of an ex police dog I’ve ever encountered in this type of fiction.
The characters are well developed and inspirational as well as good role models. Lots of action
The first book in a new mystery series so much of it is world and character building. The ‘hook’ to the story is quite clever and made the book unique and it got extra points for that. The downside is the characters are classic ‘central casting’ making them kind of shallow and two dimensional. The plot and the core setting are good enough I’ll read the next one to see if the characters develop and the plots continue to be interesting. 3.5* from me
