Luanne Fogarty inherits the family home in the Florida swamps so she takes a sabbatical to fix things up and gets embroiled in a mystery.
Luanne is a good character – flawed and a bit troubled but intrepid and ready for a challenge. She is between boyfriends, weary of her job and at a crossroads and she knows the swamps inside and out. The local police call on her for her expertise in diving and things go from there.
We meet some good recurring characters such as the cranky police chief and Luanne’s elderly but feisty Cajun neighbor.
I was drawn to read this due to a review of Green Water Ghost – the 6th book in the series – by Mark. Great recommendation!
Now to figure out which one is next…
