Publisher's summary

The quaint coastal town of Port St. Joe, FL isn’t the kind of place where people go around getting stabbed to death. So, when Jake Bellamy—an insurance agent and beloved father—is found murdered in the dewy grass of a local park, it comes as a bit of a shock.

Now it’s up to Evan Caldwell, the new sheriff and recent transplant, to solve the case. All he wants to do is live peacefully on his boat and tend to his comatose wife, but that’s easier said than done when he’s tasked with solving the murder of a man with no enemies. Evan struggles to find a motive for the brutal slaying, but when the killer strikes a second time, even the theories he thought he had fall apart.

The only thing he knows for sure is that no one will be safe in Port St. Joe until he closes this case. This is the second book in the Still Waters series; character-driven suspense filled with rich, coastal atmosphere and dry humor.

Series gets even better

I haven’t had so much fun listening to a book, well, since the first book. The storyline kept me guessing and the characters in the police department are so real I felt like I knew them. Nick Sullivan did a tremendous job narrating. He made the characters come to life. I really recommend this series.

Excellent Sequel…

This is the second book in the Still Waters Suspense Series. I had thought the first book (Dead Reckoning) was a great start to a new series by an author I had never heard of before. I’ve been anxiously waiting for the sequel and am pleased to say the second is just as good as the first.

In this book the protagonist, Evan Caldwell is dealing with the murder of a recent transplant to the small Florida town where he is the sheriff. The murder is so unusual he believes it must be personal. When a woman is murdered shortly after he believes it must be a love triangle. When a third victim is found he has no clue. It’s not until his trusted deputy comes up with a connection that the case is solved. It’s not that the story is so unique but it’s not predictable and and it kept me interested right to the end.

Nick Sullivan is one of my favorite narrators. He does a Fantastic job with this story.

This book has my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.
