And I thought  

Book 2 is on my Wish List!

Author Christy Barritt has quickly become a favorite! 

Misdirection is a fast paced read. 

Are the main characters Christians?  This was/is unknown to me. 

Olive talks/mentions God when she is thinking to herself but there is no discussion between herself and Jason her ex high-school sweetheart now Head of Security at the company where Olive is sent to find answers before it is too late. 

I enjoyed the addition of Jason's dog Loki which happens to be named for the dog the sweethearts hoped to have 'someday'. 

Is the adult Jason over Olive?

I suspect not. 

In the beginning the two skirt around each thinking the other is involved in what is going on and follow each other which happens to be a good thing a few times. 

I really liked the drone operator who saves the day and Olivia and Jason's lives. 

Doing a bit of digging on Olive's request he finds some answers about Olive's dad.  

But before she can find out what Jason shows up leaving Olive and this reader hanging.  

Cue book 2. Hello Santa. 

I enjoyed the member free Audible version. 

I was not asked to write a review. 

My 5 star review will be posted on Goodreads and my S.M. platforms.  

This review will not be posted on Amazon.  I have not me the requirements since as a reviewer I utilize author gifts free copies.

Dockside Secrets by Terry Overton My Review

  About the book   Sixty-two days after Finley Burke moved into her new lakeside cottage, her life felt peaceful-until it wasn't. With the help of her newly formed friendships in the small village of Sunset Cove, she would discover mysteries lurking beneath the surface. A tackle box, an estate sale, and a deceptive, wealthy family called her to use her experience as a forensic psychologist to discover the untold secrets of Sunset Cove. Join the Sunset Sleuths as they uncover what really goes on in Sunset Cove and the wealthy Kent family. For readers who long for cozy mysteries like Aurora Teagarden, dive into the quaint community of Sunset Cove and see what really happens. And I thought  What a great read. Although I have been following and featuring Terry Overton's children/young reader Christian titles I have never read one.   I was happy when she joined the Cozy Mystery World/Genre.  Dockside Secrets was a great read.  The characters are quick...
