RIPTIDE ON 30A

Emerald Coast Mysteries #5

by Deborah Rine

Claire had never been happier. The honeymoon in Thailand was perfect. But the flight home to the Florida Panhandle was long and exhausting. As they made their final descent into the Destin Airport, Claire shook Hobbs and called his name, but he was unresponsive. As Claire screamed for help, a doctor came across the aisle and after a short examination declared Hobbs dead. As the story unfolds, Claire descends into a riptide of conflicting emotions and dark secrets. She realizes she never knew Hobbs at all. Their life together was based on a series of lies. Who was Hobbs? And why are the FBI and CIA investigating his death? This fast-paced novel takes place along the exquisite Emerald Coast with its beautiful beaches and charming towns.

About the author

My name is Deborah Williamson Rine. I grew up in Illinois, New York and Washington D.C. I was fortunate to spend a year in France when fifteen and a year in Göteborg, Sweden following high school. After Northwestern University, I lived in Milan, Verona, Paris and Brussels. These experiences created a love of different cultures, people and food. “Life is a smorgasbord and I want to sample it all.” I was a French teacher for many years. The Lake is my first book. I don’t know why I waited so long to start writing because it’s a delectable challenge. I love diving into the story and seeing what happens!

another crazy 30a book!

Like the last book, what starts as a good Gulf Coast mystery becomes so convulted that believabilty is lost along the way. I was enjoying it until it came time to wrap things up and it suddenly felt like that old Dallas dream episode. It's a shame, we have engaging characters, good writing, and a beautiful setting. All of that is what keeps me from giving this three stars.

I would give 3.5 if I could!! I’ve just read so many incredible books this year so I’m a harsh critic. What a fun book to read at the beach in 30a while the book is taking place down here. I’m going to the places the characters are going to - so fun! Highly recommend if you vacation on 30a

Ending needed work

The story was 5 stars until the end. It became so unbelievable and made up. It was a big letdown.
