Liked it, but it did not come to a satisfying conclusion. It s a first book in a series that hooks you in and sets you up for the next book.
O the life of a small town police chief! It isn’t as easy as it looks! Interesting characters and great plot.
I liked the book, but would have preferred that it had a real finish, even if it is part of the series. I don’t particularly like cliff-hangers.
It held your attention all through the book
Part of a series, that should be read sequentially
Really liked the book but you need to keep reading the series to continue the storyline.
The book was an interesting read. One thing I did not like was that it wants you to purchase the next book in the series to resolve certain issues.I don’t care for books that are cliffhangers.
I have never left a review before but this book was so badly written that I didn’t want others to waste their time investing in the series.
The new police chief of a beach town has to solve the mystery of a body washed on the shore. A woman from a town 8 hrs away identifies the body as her estranged husband. Now it appears c cult has invaded this serene town. Are the body and the new residents connected? A great mystery!
One of the reasons I keep returning to Christy Barritt’s books is her amazing characters! You fall in love with the heroine and the cast of supporting characters. I’m so glad she returned to Lantern Beach to continue the stories. Another reason I love her stories is how there is one over-arching mystery throughout the series that keeps you coming back for more. And she does conclude it, after all the clues are laid out neatly in each novel. But there is a satisfying mystery that is solved within each book. I have thoroughly enjoyed each series she’s written! This is a wonderful kick-off to a new series!
Wow! I have read The Lantern Beach Series that introduced Cassidy and Tyler, and was sad when it ended. So when news of this series came out, continuing their story, I was thrilled! I love these characters and I loved the first book in the Lantern Beach PD Series. I love that all the quirky characters from the original series appear in this book so that we can “catch up” with their lives. I got so engrossed in the Gilead Cove storyline, that I couldn’t put this book down. There was another story thread, involving a murder, that may or may not be connected to the cult. That storyline is wrapped up in the first book. However, I know that I will need to read the coming books in the series before there is a resolution to the cult storyline, but that only make s me anxious for the next one, coming later this month I believe.
I received a copy of this book for free, but the opinions are all my own.
On the Lookout is the first in the newest Lantern Beach series. Cassidy, Ty, and the rest of the gang are back to solve another mystery on the island. A mysterious group has moved to town and a body washes onto shore. Are they connected? Is this somehow connected to Ty or Cassidy’s past? You’ll have to read to find the answers. I would definitely read the series in order as the story continues from on book to the next. Excited to start Attempt to Locate.
I was given a copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.
I like all the characters in this series and the small coastal town. There is intrigue, crime solving, but also deep abiding friendships.
Wow!
Okay, every time I pick up a Christy Barritt book and start reading, I know I’m going to be on the ride of my life.
Her stories are all so packed full of suspense, action, drama, and a bit of romance.
This story reminded me of a situation in my home state many years ago.
It appeared to be nothing out of the ordinary, but when the truth came out it was much more.
This story is one you will wonder, “what’s really happening?”
Christy Barritt is such a skilled author. She brings so many twists and turns to all her books! They capture you from the very first page to the last! I stayed up late many nights to read this book because I just wanted to find out, who did it!
I highly recommend you pick this book up.
“A dead body has washed ashore.”
Police Chief Cassidy Chambers has yet another mystery to solve in what should be a quiet little beach town during the normally quiet off-season. Determining the cause of death just leads to more unanswered questions; who was the man, what was he doing at Lantern Beach, and how long long had his body been in the water?
Other out-of-the-ordinary things have been happening on the island. Questions about the activities of a communal group inside Gilead’s Cove have surfaced, after a daring local teen sees a disgusting ritual and takes on gunfire as he catapults over a fence back to safety.
It’s a lot for Lantern Beach’s short-staffed safety force to process, but with the help of family and friends, pieces of a dangerous puzzle begin to fit together. Eerily, shadows of both Cassidy’s and Ty’s past seem to be creeping into the picture.
This is one of Christy Barritt’s best books . . . . and . . . the story continues in “Attempt to Locate”.
Loved the humor Abdul characters, look forward to continuing the series
We’re back in Lantern Beach in ON THE LOOKOUT, the first book in the new Lantern Beach P.D. series by Christy Barritt. A spinoff of the Lantern Beach Mysteries, ON THE LOOKOUT finds Cassidy Chambers solving crimes in her new role as police chief.
I loved being back in Lantern Beach again and seeing what Cassidy and Ty were up to now. It felt like I was visiting cherished, old friends of mine.
ON THE LOOKOUT is a great start to what promises to be a fantastic series. You could definitely read this book without reading the previous series, but I’d still recommend starting there. They’re great stories and I wouldn’t want you to miss out on them.
There’s a lot of new things happening around town that will surely keep things interesting in upcoming books. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for these characters next! Highly recommend!
My eyes were propped open to finish reading since I had to know the ending!
Christy Barritt creates such realistic characters with contemporary issues that readers are sure to enjoy. On the Lookout continues the Lantern Beach Mystery series and mentions characters from the Lantern Beach Romantic Suspense editions.
By all appearances, it seems that something sinister has moved onto the island when a body washes ashore and a mysterious group stakes a claim in a secluded area. More troubling is that Police Chief Cassidy Chambers and her former SEAL husband, Ty, question if the danger has followed one or both of them from past to present.
Note: this is part one of a continuing series. A preview of the next episode appears to insure your interest in the cast and drama.
I received a complimentary copy of the book without obligation. This review is my opinion.
On the Lookout begins a new series by Christy Barritt taking place in Lantern Beach. This time around, Cassidy is the police chief and the hunt for justice again. From the first chapter, I am interested in the idea of Gilead Cove and trying to figure out the connection to the dead body that came ashore. Stories with cults in them are fascinating because I have a hard time understanding why people believe their obvious lies, but I know Satan is working wonders. Anyways the cult idea is different for Barritt, but not original in the book realm. The suspense moved pretty rapidly and kept my focused. There isn’t much romance in this novel, but I did see Cassidy and Ty who are now married, working as a married couple. Overall, On the Lookout is a unique first book in the series, and I really can’t wait to read the rest.
