Book Description:
USA Today Bestselling Author Elizabeth Goddard Presents a Gripping Thrill Ride
Investigative journalist Cressida Dane arrives in Hidden Bay after a worldwide journey to finish her late father’s manuscript on shipwrecks. As she tries to discover the story behind the “ghost ship” Specter’s Bounty, her only lead is a name her father left behind–Evelyn Monroe. As Cressida uncovers more about the ship, she quickly realizes that her research has placed her in the crosshairs of dangerous forces.
County detective Braden Sanders is in Hidden Bay for one reason–to get his niece lifesaving medical treatment. To do that, he is assigned to protect Cressida from a revenge-driven enemy. Together, Braden and Cressida dig deeper to discern the myth from the facts surrounding the Specter’s Bounty.
But more is brewing under the surface than they could ever imagine. Entangled in secrets, they must unravel the past before the current sweeps away their future.
Narelle’s Thoughts:
I enjoyed reading Deadly Currents, the third book in Elizabeth Goddard’s Hidden Bay series set on the remote Washington Coast. Cressida is in danger from the moment she arrives in Hidden Bay to research and finish writing her late father’s book on shipwrecks and ghost ships. She’s determined to use her investigative journalism skills to solve the mysteries that had puzzled her maritime historian father and publish his book.
Braden is a former diplomatic security services agent who’s working undercover as a police detective in Hidden Bay. He’s tasked with the job of protecting Cressida. Their romance is sweet and complicated by secrets and family drama. Trust issues and forgiveness themes are explored in the story.
I loved how the twists and turns in the suspense plot, combined with intriguing town secrets, kept me guessing and turning the page. It was fun visiting with characters from previous books in the series. Hidden Bay is like a character in the story. I loved the story ending and satisfying series finale.
I recommend Deadly Currents to readers who like fast paced romantic suspense with unknown danger, a protector law enforcement hero, forced proximity, small town secrets, maritime mysteries, and relevant faith elements in the story.
Many thanks to Revell and NetGalley for the advanced reader copy.
