Synopsis

Buried bones, a missing eco-activist, and a deadly fire? It’s not what Maya Rivers bargained for when she moved to the coastal city of Newport, Oregon to reunite with her brother, Harley. Yet when Harley is accused of an unthinkable crime, Maya insists on adding “amateur sleuth” to her career options. It isn’t long before she discovers an eerie clue . . . but the closer she gets to the truth, the closer a murderer follows.

Review

I really enjoyed this mystery. I had my suspicions about a character and turns out I was right. I didn’t have any clues to base this on other than gut instinct was telling me this person was up to something.

Interesting mix of characters, good balance between good and bad characters. Sometimes I wanted to shake Maya and tell her to not do what she was doing because it could get her in trouble or hurt/killed!  But that is what makes a mystery…the main character not “thinking” about safety and just wants to figure out who did what.  I can’t blame Maya because she was trying to figure out what happened to her brother and why he is being framed.
