While there are subplots resolved in each book, there is an overarching storyline that is not resolved until Landfall, so readers will enjoy them best if these are read in order. Subsequent books in the series are both longer (ranging between 200-250 pages) and designed to stand alone, so they may be read in any order. <b><i>Praise for the Forgotten Coast Florida Suspense SeriesFrom Low Tide: </i></b>Florida writers need to watch out, or better still read Dawn McKenna's books. She's the real deal......Low Tide is a suspenseful mystery/thriller, beautifully written and perfectly executed. The characters ring true, the scenarios are all plausible, and the dialogue is witty and believable. Dawn Lee McKenna is an amazing and gifted writer.....McKenna is the real deal - a storyteller with a knack for hooking you with characters of depth and intriguing sub plots.<b><i>From Riptide: </i></b>Even better than Low Tide, this novel had so much depth and heart, mixed seamlessly with the heart-stopping suspense scenes. I'm absolutely hooked on this series......After finishing Low Tide, the very promising entry to the Forgotten Coast series, I was curious to see how Dawn Lee McKenna would follow up. Not only does McKenna not disappoint, she exceeds already high expectations with this exciting, well-written sequel.......Riptide fulfills the promise of its predecessor, Low Tide, and firmly establishes this author as a force to be reckoned with in the literary world and the mystery/suspense gen<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>I was born and raised in Florida and now live in Tennessee. The South is as much a main character in my books as any of the people that populate them. From dirt roads in Alabama to coastal fishing towns in the Florida Panhandle, the south is so wonderfully filled with atmosphere and interesting people that I don't really see any reason for my writing to leave home. I write the occasional literary or women's fiction book, but my time is focused right now on The Forgotten Coast Florida series. This series, set in Apalachicola, FL, is a noirish suspense series, dripping with atmosphere and flawed, human, witty characters. The first four books in the series have an overarcing story that isn't resolved until book four (Landfall, releasing at the end of July 2015), but also subplots and mayhem and overall sinister dealings that are resolved in each book. The first four books are a foundation for the rest of the series, which will serve more as standalone novels. Whether you're reading See You or one of the Forgotten Coast books, you'll find they have in common dry humor, a good deal of atmosphere and characters who are people, rather than caricatures. I love these people, from 90-year old Creole nanny Miss Evangeline, to the droll and honorable Jack Canfield, to strong but damaged cop Maggie Redmond, and even the hilariously inappropriate and dangerously charming bad guy, Bennett Boudreaux. I hope that you'll meet them all, and love them all as I do.
