Review – Attempt to Locate

From the back cover: A deadly trio of robbers. A missing woman. A community in crisis. A fun girls’ night out turns into a nightmare when armed robbers barge into the store where Cassidy and her friends are shopping. As the situation escalates and the men escape, a massive manhunt launches on Lantern Beach to apprehend the dangerous trio. In the midst of the chaos, a potential foe asks for Cassidy’s help. He needs to find his sister who fled from the secretive Gilead’s Cove community on the island. But the more Cassidy learns about the seemingly untouchable group, the more her unease grows. The pressure to solve both cases continues to mount. But as the gravity of the situation rises, so does the danger. Cassidy is determined to protect the island and break up the cult . . . but doing so might cost her everything. My thoughts: ATTEMPT TO LOCATE is the second book in Ms. Barritt's spin-off series and I would recommend reading On the Lookout first as the plots are very entwined. I was kept guessing who-dun-it and who was involved until the very end. There were also plenty of twists that I didn't see coming. I read ATTEMPT TO LOCATE through in one sitting and can't wait to read First Degree Murder. Ms. Barritt is a very prolific author and this book also tied in to her Accidental Detective series, with Detective Jackson coming on the scene to help investigate.
