A storm is brewing hundreds of miles away, but its effects are devastating even from afar. Laid-back and light: that's Cassidy Livingston's new motto. But when a makeshift boat with a bloody cloth inside washes ashore near her oceanfront home, her detective instincts shift into gear . . . again.
Seeking clues isn't the only thing on her mind-romance is heating up with next-door neighbor and former Navy SEAL Ty Chambers as well. Her heart wants the love and stability she's longed for her entire life. But her hidden identity only leads to a tidal wave of turbulence.
As more answers emerge about the boat, the danger around her rises, creating a treacherous swell that threatens to reveal her past. Can Cassidy mind her own business, or will the storm surge of violence and corruption that has washed ashore on Lantern Beach leave her life in wreckage?
My thoughts: STORM SURGE is the third book in Ms. Barritt's newest series Lantern Beach, and readers will want to read the books in order: Hidden Currents, Flood Watch and STORM SURGE.
As per usual with Ms. Barritt's cozy mysteries, the action is nonstop. I can't imagine the plotting and research she puts into her stories. Who knew one could make a raft from a tarp and a bedframe, what direction the currents travel in the Carolinas, how many hours (or days) it would take to travel so many miles by raft... and more. The Coast Guard is mentioned in this book, sounding like dofuses to the police in this story, but the actually Coastie appearance was not at all that way. (I love Coasties.)
I couldn't put STORM SURGE down and had to keep reading to find out what happened next. If you like cozy mysteries you will want to read the Lantern Beach series, titles listed above.

I was given a copy free. All opinions are my own.
Stay tuned for a review on the fourth book - Dangerous Waters....

Another cozy mystery series I'll have to add to my growing list of TBR books.
