Leaving Lavender Tides

Thoroughly enjoyed this little gem of a story. After not liking the first book in the series, I wasn't sure if I would like the series at all, but I loved this short, intense mystery. I ran across it on the sale table at Barnes and Noble today and simply couldn't resist the colorful cover and the delightful small hardback size—exactly the darling sort of small book I love to have on my shelves. I read it in less than an hour, since it's short, while trying to wind down from a stressful day.

The mystery is easy to follow and the clues only make sense in retrospect, a perfect combo in my book. It was delightful to see Zach and Shauna as a married couple, and I would love the have another short book or two like this that features them.
