“There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more.” -Lord Byron
After receiving an unexpected gift following her college graduation, aspiring journalist Adele Plank returns to the Pacific Northwest’s beautiful and isolated sea and shores landscape of the San Juan Islands, where she soon finds herself immersed in the shocking mystery of a young woman’s brutal murder.
The deathly discovery rocks the island community, stirring doubts about their new sheriff, and turning old friends into new rivals.
Adele must determine who she can trust, and who she cannot, even as a mysterious stranger provides her a critical clue.
DARK WATERS is the second thrilling installment of the San Juan Islands Mystery series.
intriguing mystery, poor execution.
The Writer, the first book of the San Juan Islands Mystery, was a thrilling book that completely intrigued me and made me love Adele Plank so much. The revelation and resolution to the mystery was well-written and had me reading one page after another (because really, I just HAD to know what happens next).
