Summary: there's no book like this book!
Review: "Washed Up" is an amazing follow-up to "Dead on My Feet." What a book! Mystery, humor, suspense, and an interesting plot help this book along. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an amazing book by a talented author-ess.

Summary: Insert Jaws Theme Here
Review: Iowa must be taking a vacation from small-town crime interesting enough to a freelance writer, because Claire Maxwell is off to Florida in this second installment of Lynn Wingert's mystery series. In Washed Up, Claire is on a research trip, gathering information on shark attacks for an article. She isn't in the Sunshine State for a day when she discovers just how much information is to be had.For one thing, Claire dives headfirst into a flirtateous relationship with a local police officer, himself a victim of a shark attack and supposedly Claire's main resource of information for the article. However, when multiple bodies wash up on the shores of Miami Beach, alleged victims of shark attacks, Claire come to two conclusions: 1) There's a very hungry shark circling the waters; or 2) Something else "fishy" is happening. As in Dead on My Feet, the reader is treated to Claire Maxwell's saucy tongue and yen for junk food. While some might think the romance between Claire and Lieutenant Chris Merrett a bit rushed, it does make for some good-natured dialogue. The revelation of the mystery's end comes as a complete surprise, as the story's build-up leads the reader to other theories, but all in all Wingert's series is improving.
