Dangerous Shoals

Rate this book
Murder and psychopaths in sleepy Rye Harbor? It's just another mystery for Jack Beale.

Spring has arrived in the small New Hampshire coastal town of Rye Harbor and all seemed right in the world. Jack Beale and Max, the feisty red haired bartender at Ben's Place, are back together after their split up the previous year and are looking forward to enjoying a carefree summer together. Then, someone who they thought was just a memory reappears, pursued by a psychotic killer. When he ends up dead, Jack and Max become the killer's new targets. What should have been an easy, relaxing summer for Jack, Max, and his cat, Cat, becomes a battle of wits and a fight for survival.

Pleased with this book as I picked it up specifically as a local author choice. There was a bit too much reflection on the first book (which I hadn't read) but the story stood pretty well on its own. I enjoyed the detail and the setting as it was mostly familiar to me. I would read this author again and liked this book as a thriller.

Jack lives in a small fishing village and dates Max, the red headed bartender. A friend is murdered and now they feel they are being watched. Is friend still alive? Who is after him and why? Good mystery. I rate this a 4.6.

good story, a page turner, but found writing too simplistic in many parts.

Dangerous Shoals is the third book in the Jack Beale Mystery series of books. This book continues the story started in Changing Tides, the second book in the series. The Jack Beale books do not need to be read in order but I do recommend that you read book two and three in order to fully understand the story line. In Dangerous Shoals Jack and his girlfriend Max, while trying to enjoy a relaxing and romantic summer, find dangers from their past are resurfacing and bringing with them even more trouble. Can Jack (and his pet cat, Cat) solve this mystery before more people die? And yes, I did say his pet cat. I loved the role that Cat played in this novel and I look forward to more antics from Jack’s feline companion.
