another series "The Forgotten Coast" by Dawn Lee McKenna

book 1 Low Tide In Apalachicola, Florida, sinister things are afoot, as sinister things tend to be.

Bold. Honorable. Damaged. Meet Lt. Maggie Redmond.

Lt. Maggie Redmond is called to a crime scene on St. George Island, where she is met with the body of Gregory Boudreaux. The medical examiner calls it a suicide, but no one knows that Maggie has a horrible connection to the dead man.

Book 2 Rip Tide Once again, sinister things are afoot in Apalachicola, FL, and one of them is an actual foot.

When a local fisherman finds a severed limb in his net, it sets off a chain of events that no one can anticipate.

Lt. Maggie Redmond soon discovers that the foot belongs to the friend of another recently dead guy, Gregory Boudreaux, the man she never told anyone about. Gregory’s death was thought to be a suicide. That seems less likely, now that his best friend Sport’s foot has shown up out of the blue, as it were.

Both books were a fast read; the characters are great, there are a number of plot twists, and some hilarious moments involving Maggie's dog and rooster (appropriately named Stoopid)


Regarding Night Crime: my trip to Greece with Kat and company was just as much fun as I expected it to be. Can't wait for a price reduction on the next one!!!

I will definitely read more of these! It is already obvious that there are going to be plot lines which weave in and out all the way through the books.
