Description

TWO MISSING WOMEN. AN OCEAN FULL OF SECRETS . . .

'A first-class mystery - perplexing and at times disturbing' i paper

'Intelligence, imagination and lucid writing' The Times
____________

Kate and Flora have always been haunted by a mystery - their mother, Christine, vanished without trace when they were children.

But now Kate has a more urgent problem: Flora has disappeared too.

In desperation, she searches Flora's house, and finds a scrap of paper with a name scribbled on it: Cal McGill.

Cal is a 'sea detective': an expert in the winds and the tides, and consequently adept at finding lost things - and lost people.

Can Cal find Flora?

And might he even know the secret of what happened to their mother, all those years ago . . . ?

I didn’t realise this was part of a series, I read The Driftwood Girls as a stand alone and it was great! (Although I have now ordered the others)

I absolutely love the idea of a sea detective since there’s so much “unknown” about our seas and oceans and this kept me on edge throughout the story. Following Cal who I quickly fell in love with. A great, intelligent well thought character which seems to be rare in these sort of books.

The Driftwood Girls is tense with multiple characters and storylines all coming together to create a huge splash!

5/5

The Driftwood Girls is the latest book in the excellent Sea Detective series by Mark Douglas-Home and it is another very well written and thoroughly entertaining crime book.

The book, which can easily be read as a standalone, starts slowly with a number of strands that I couldn't start to piece together however as the story evolved the jigsaw made more sense before a very satisfying conclusion was reached..

Definitely one to recommend
