Review – On the Lookout

Cassidy and Ty are back in an all-new Lantern Beach series that will leave readers wanting more . . .
A runaway woman. A dead body. A mysterious compound.

When Cassidy Chambers accepted the job as police chief on Lantern Beach, she knew the island had its secrets. But a suspicious death with potentially far-reaching implications will test all her skills—and threaten to reveal her true identity.

Cassidy enlists the help of her husband, former Navy SEAL Ty Chambers. As they dig for answers, both uncover parts of their pasts that are best left buried. Not everything is as it seems, and they must figure out if their John Doe is connected to the secretive group that has moved onto the island.

As facts materialize, danger on the island grows. Can Cassidy and Ty discover the truth about the shadowy crimes in their cozy community? Or has darkness permanently invaded their beloved Lantern Beach?

My thoughts:

ON THE LOOKOUT is the first book in Ms. Barritt’s new spin-off series, spun off of the Lantern Beach Mysteries series, and possibly the Lantern Beach Romantic Suspense series. This is a mystery where Cassidy, Ty and the other characters of the other two series mentioned attempt to solve a crime before the criminal eliminates them.

Who-dun-it certainly kept me guessing and there were several twists in the story I never saw coming. There are also several untied threads that I assume will continue into the series. I will be reading Attempt to Locate next.

Ms. Barritt writes a page-turner that will keep you guessing and engrossed in the continuing series as Cassidy embraces her new career as chief of police.
