Book Beginnings + Friday 56: On the Lookout (Lantern Beach P.D. #1) by Christy Barritt

Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading. Friday 56 is hosted by Freda's Voice and asks you to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your ereader and share a non-spoilery sentence or two.

This week I'm featuring On the Lookout (Lantern Beach P.D. #1) by Christy Barritt. This is a spinoff of her Lantern Beach Mystery series featuring the same characters. I'm loving it! It's so great visiting these awesome characters again.


About the Book
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?

***On the Lookout is the first book in the new Lantern Beach P.D. series. Each novel contains a standalone mystery, but several overarching mysteries stretch throughout the entire series.***

***Free for Kindle Unlimited Users***

***Attempt to Locate, Book 2, will be released in February 2019***


Book Beginning
Tears poured down Moriah Roberts's face as she navigated the island road.

Friday 56
Anxiety knotted in Moriah's stomach as she pulled on a clean tunic the next morning.
She'd been summoned.

  4. Mysteries in islands are the best! It must be the sense of isolation and how hard it's to escape from an island! :)
