I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Lots of good characters, murders, and romance. A story set in Florida involving divers, treasure, boats and a good mystery.

A quick read. A mystery, some romance, and an enjoyable setting make this an fun book to take to the shore or pool this Summer. I finished this in two sittings.

Not as predictable as her other books. Had a few nice twists and was a very fast, enjoyable read.

This was one of the best books so far that I have read from this author AND IT DEFINITLY WILL NOT BE MY LAST. i COULD NOT PUT THE BOOK DOWN. IT WAS A PAGE TURNER
Beth and her family are on an island for vacation, amongst other vacationers as well. She finds a skull hidden in the sand on the beach, and is very suspicious about this guy Keith and his buddies that are walking the very same stretch of beach.... and they're coming straight toward her and the spot that the skull was found.
That's really all the farther I got in this one. The story just didn't hold my interest. Or rather, it might've if Beth wasn't freaked out about 'something' every-other second. She's too paranoid and too suspicious about what she found and started suspecting Keith and his buddies knowing or having something to do with the skull she found; and everything to do with who Keith was. It was just too dramatic and unrealistic for me.
I thought this book would be a nice summer mystery I might dig into, but once I started, I knew it wasn't going to be as intriguing as I had hoped. I would say read another one. Anything by Lisa Gardner is worth the thrill.

Great book. Highly recommended.
