Book Description:
After weeks of relentless rain and fog, summer graces the Maine coast. Sarah Deane wants only to help her in-laws adjust to living in Ocean Tide, an "architect-designed home-town community," and enjoy the warm weather before she returns to teaching in the fall. She absolutely does not want to become embroiled in another murder investigation. Even when police find the body of an 18 year-old on Ocean Tide's golf course, Sarah vows not to let it sidetrack her from an agenda of rest and relaxation. But after a frightened boy causes her to discover a second murder victim, her curiosity-and protective impulses toward a child who may have seen too much-overpower her better judgment. Tiptoeing into territory better left to the authorities, Sarah unearths disturbing family ties and a lethal secret hidden just beneath Ocean Tide's veneer of squeaky clean community values...

Sarah Deane is at it again. Everywhere Sarah goes dead bodies just fall down in front of her. This time it is in at Ocean Tide, an "architect-designed hometown community," where Sarah's husband Alex McKenzie's parents have reluctantly moved. It is a delightful novel set along the Maine coast.

A beautiful planned community - golf course, tennis courts, oceanfront vistas - and murder of some of the newest residents! Sarah Deane is helping her in-laws make the move to this lovely area and soon becomes involved in solving the crimes. Great atmosphere and the usual murky motives.
