Fiction

I finished it sooner than I expected. It moves fast and has great characters with lots of story to tell. There are two more books but will have to wait until the price for Kindle drops. Anyway this book is set in Poland during the reign of Catherine the Great of Russia. It includes attempts at democracy, patriotism, cross and double cross, war, rebellion, and the partition of Poland (to the point it vanished from the map of Europe until after WW I)

Then I went straight to Florida for the next book

The Forgotten Coast series: Book 3 What Washes Up by Dawn Lee McKenna
Southern mystery and suspense, liberally seasoned with coastal atmosphere and dark humor.

Karma’s alive and well in Apalachicola, Florida, and there are several people who are about to meet it face to face.

When more than a dozen bodies wash up on the beach on St. George Island, the residents of Apalach are outraged, and none more so than investigator Maggie Redmond and Sheriff Wyatt Hamilton. It’s time for the greedy to answer for the lives of innocents.

Meanwhile, a man is found tied to a burning boat in the middle of the bay, and Maggie’s instincts tell her Bennett Boudreaux is behind it. But if he is, Maggie has to decide whether she really wants him punished, or if justice has already been served.

Vengeance is afoot in Apalachicola, and everyone is in its path.

I finished it quickly; it is really more of a novella. Last night I immediately dived into the next one "Landfall"
As a hurricane gathers its power just off Apalachicola’s shore, another storm comes to a head in Lt. Maggie Redmond's home.

Held prisoner by a man bent on avenging the death of a son, Maggie must find a way to save herself and her two children.

No one knows where they are. No one is coming to help. Maggie and her children will have to find a way to survive both the madness inside their home and the madness raging outside.

Two storms that nobody thought were coming just made landfall.

I really like the characters and the storyline is good. The lead character has 2 kids, a catahoola hound and a rooster named Stoopid who steals every scene when he shows up :

I give up! I tried and tried to copy and past a Stoopid incident and for some reason the short description of the book just kept repeating. Anyway I am definitely a fan of Stoopid


There are a total of 8 books in this series and I have the first 5.

Not sure what is next after I finish these.
