Description
A missing woman.
An unidentified body.
Summer is just getting started...
Police Chief Callie Jean Morgan's hope for a day of nothing but traffic tickets is shattered when one of five women who regularly vacation together on Edisto Island is reported missing. Hours later, a body washes up on the sand—but not the body of the missing young lady.
Unable to identify the dead woman, leaving her with a possible murder on her hands, Callie worries the clock might be ticking down to yet another tragedy. She has no choice but to dig into the secrets of the women's group, who now seem unconcerned about their missing member. Tracking down information on the ladies is like chasing air. Even the older residents of Edisto are unwilling to talk about the well-established, yet evasive group known as "The Summer Ladies."
Edisto is heating up, and so is Callie Jean Morgan.

Haunting addition to C. Hope Clark's stellar canon, a canon ridiculously underappreciated and unknown to the broader community of mystery lovers. In the Edisto series, Callie Morgan, police chief, investigates crimes that turn out to be underlayed with history and community-shared secrets. Drawing on her personal history as an investigator for a Federal agency, each of her books is a crackling good mystery with empathy at its core. In the small tourist beach town, a woman washes ashore, but is she the woman reported missing by one of her friends? Told in two POV, one of the police chief and the other, the erstwhile leader of this group of friends. Who are they and what is their connection? Do yourself a favor and discover this author.

I have followed this author for years (particulaly this series) and was thrilled to be able to download her new book. It did not disappoint!
We again meet Callie, the chief of Police for Edisto. On this occasion, she is called to investigate the murder of a young woman found on the beach. This discovery leads her to a group of women (dubbed the Summer Ladies) and their connection to the murder. I highly recommend this (also a good book to take to the beach) and I look forward to her next book.
