Tide Up

Search and Rescue Cozy Mysteries #14

by Patti Benning

Sometimes a rising tide…
Can be murder.
Amateur sleuth and dog trainer, Eve, is delighted to take some time off and go on a camping trip to secluded part of Lake Superior’s coastline. The trip that’s supposed to be a relaxing and fun adventure takes a dark turn when Eve’s Search and Rescue dog, Atlas, discovers a body on the beach.

And that’s not the only surprise that they find.

Cries for help lead them to a small shipwreck and a group of friends who are struggling against the tide and waves to get to shore. After they’re rescued, Eve realizes that the murder victim they discovered has ties to the people on the boat and their stories aren’t adding up.

It’s up to Eve and her fellow campers to determine if someone on the boat killed the victim, or if the killer is from outside the group.

Can they keep their heads above water while trying to sink a killer? Find out in this exciting Canine Cozy Mystery!

A Disastrous Camping Trip!

I am totally in love with this series! In book 14 Eve and her significant other Aiden along with Tiana and Levi her engaged friends are taking a much needed weekend away to rest, relax and regroup. What starts out as a fun camping trip with friends and her two rescue dogs turns into a disaster when they find a dead body as they are hiking along the beach. Without cell service there is no way to contact the police or any other form of help. Having no other alternative except to go back to where they left Eve's vehicle they then spot a stranded boat in the water trapped on some rocks.

What follows is a very tense situation as they attempt a dangerous rescue, as well as a sudden damaging storm along with the thought the campers they rescued may have something to do with the body they found.

Fast paced, intriguing, with some very heart pounding moments as they try to keep everyone safe while getting back to civilization. Highly enjoyable and entertaining. Hoping there are ore books to come. 5 giant glittering stars!
🎉🎉👏👏🌟🌟🌟

It was the humans’ turn to solve a murder although Atlas did find the body to begin with. Only Eve and her amazing and caring friends could take a much-needed break from everyday life and still run into drama. But like the good sports they were (not to mention downright good and thoughtful people), the foursome helped some others who were stranded, and they all ended up tangled in a mystery.

Eve already appreciated her own friends but I think this adventure made her extra grateful for them and who they were.

There Is Nearly Always A Logical Reason For Murder!

"Tide Up" is Book 14 of Patti Benning's Search and Rescue Cozy Mystery series. I have really enjoyed all the books in this series so far and look forward to many more episodes. This series would make wonderful Hallmark Mystery Channel movies. This episode has Eve, Aidan, Tiana, Levi, and Eve's two Search and Rescue dogs, Willow and Atlas, going on a hiking and camping trip in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. While on the trip, Atlas finds a dead body, as well as a sinking boat with three people in it (1 man and 2 women). The dead body is one of the women's boyfriend. How did the dead man die? Did somebody onboard the sinking boat kill him? Or was it an accident? I gave this book a 5 star rating.

Camping Trip gone wrong.

What should have been a fun week for Eve & her friends turned into a disaster. Luckily things were figured out & no one else was hurt. Great book & series. I look forward to reading more.

Camping can be dangerous. While at the beach, Atlas s a dead body washed up on the sand. Eve will have her work cut out to figure out the killer before all the clues are washed away. It’s a Andy mystery that will keep you glued.

Great addition to this series. On what is supposed to be a fun and relaxing weekend camping, Atlas gets to work and finds human remains.

The book is a quick read and is a perfect way to spend a short time relaxing.

This time around a camping trip goes awry. What was supposed to be a fun weekend was anything but. I loved this mystery so much. I was pleasantly surprised by who the killer actually was.

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by the publisher.

Camping with your best friends. What a great idea?

I love that Eve would try going camping again after the really bad experience the first time. Really, what could go wrong with her best friends and her doggies with her?

Too short

I like the writing and plots. The.books are too short and I keep wanting g more. I would pay two r three times the price for longer books.

The dogs didn't do.much

I would have liked more dogs working in the book. They did not do.much, just walk on their leashes. It kept my interest, though.

Great!

One of my favorite series ever! And I love, love, love the author. Do yourself a favor and dive in!

A Camping We Go

Short book. Not enough clues for the reader. Not very good description of the beauty country they are walking through or of the camping site. The plot was good.

Tide Up

Sometimes friends and lovers are not what they seem. Lies and betrayal hurt the heart and the ego, anger will cause you to do things you wouldn't otherwise do normally.
