My Review:

Deadly Currents is the final book in the Hidden Bay series. I recommend reading the books in chronological order for the best enjoyment. This book wraps up a mystery that started in the first book and was woven through the series.

While the story is well-written, I didn't connect with/care much for Cressida, nor did I find the subject matter very interesting (completely subjective).I loved the first two books in the series, and I am sure that if I were interested in the mystery surrounding the "ghost ship," I would have enjoyed this one more.

Several aspects of the story were surprising, and there was plenty of action and suspense to keep the story moving. I am glad I finished the series.

★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads):

Investigative journalist Cressida arrives in Hidden Bay after a worldwide journey to finish her late father's manuscript on shipwrecks. As she tries to discover the story behind the "ghost ship" Specter's Bounty, her only lead is a name her father left behind--Evelyn Monroe. As Cressida uncovers more about the ship, she quickly realizes that her research has placed her in the crosshairs of dangerous forces.

County detective Braden is in Hidden Bay for one reason--to get his niece lifesaving medical treatment. To do that, he is assigned to protect Cressida from a revenge-driven enemy. Together, Braden and Cressida dig deeper to discern the myth from the facts surrounding the Specter's Bounty. Entangled in secrets, they must unravel the past before it destroys their future.

Brace yourself for Elizabeth Goddard's final adrenaline-inducing installment in the Hidden Bay series.
