The Girl in the Tide:
Leigh is a treasure hunter turned investigator as she tries to solve a murder mystery. If you have read a book by Alexandria Clarke before then you know you are in for a great read. The writing is descriptive, the story is intriguing and the characters are well developed. If you love a great murder mystery and a page turning story then this is the book for you. I highly recommend this book and this author to everyone who loves great books.
Don't Tell:
When Alex Ryder was a rookie cop she had a murder case on her first day of work. Years later the murder is back. This story had me captivated and on the edge of my seat with each page I turned. The story is a captivating mystery filled with suspense, danger, and twists I didn't see coming.

I read most of Alexandria Clarke´s books and I´m a fan. The Girl and the Ocean Boxset makes a very interesting reading with a lot of police procedures that should be followed and sometimes cannot be, lots of twists and turns and an unexpected ending. Things are not what they seemed to be and Alex, the main character, has to overcome her own fears to do her job. She also discovers that friendship is very important and although life has not been always simple and easy she has every right to live it in full and be happy. A very entertaining reading that keeps you hooked till the end.

Two intriguing thriller mysteries
One story entails a crime based on treasure hunting gone wrong at a shipwreck and the other is a cruise ship adventure gone bad. Both are page turners and keep the reader involved from the outset. I love all things having to do with the water so these misadventures were right up my alley. Well written and thought out. Loved them both.

Mystery, thrills, suspense, intrigue are just a few words that describe this story. It's well written and thought out, it's captivating and pulls you in and keeps you glued to the pages as you sit on the edge of your seat waiting to find out what happens next. The characters are strong and well developed and add to the depth of the story line. Perfect for fans of a good mystery you can't put down.

In these two action packed psychological thrillers, we meet strong women protagonists who are survivors

They are scrappy, intense and make a lot of mistakes because they are determined to do things their own way, often in their own

Emotionally loaded, displaying fierce loyalties

A really great read

I just finished "Don't Tell the second book of the Girl and the Ocean by Alexandria Clarke. They were both good but Don't Tell was riveting and kept me wondering until the last few pages. Thank you Alexandria Clarke for two wonderful books. I will definitely recommend this to all of my friends.

The First book in series is about treasure hunters. They stay in trouble. The second book is about a female cop who strays from the book to catch a murderer. Both good reads.
