Summary: Dead Tide
Review: I agree with all the reviews with one BIG exception. (If you haven't read "Burnout" a far superior book to this one, don't read any further.

I was soooo furious when I came to page 12, and read that Lacie gave Jack
the choice of either being with her , or giving up his job, that it was hard for
me to continue reading. Fine for him to give her the gift of life for herself
and her daughter but not to anyone else because of her fears. As a couple
they had it all. I would much rather read books about Jack Stein. I read
"Burnout" in two days riveted, "Dead Tide" took me six, Please Ms Kadow,
bring back JACK, with or without Lacie.

Summary: Superb!
Review: If you plan to start 'Dead Tide' leave yourself plenty of time! You won't want to put it down. And leave the lights on! It can get pretty creepy. That said, I really enjoyed this second book by Jeannine Kadow featuring Lacie Wagner. Wagner, a TV journalist recovering from a recent brush with death, begins what appears to be a fortuitous investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of a young woman whose body washed up on the shore near her home on Nantucket island. Her intense investigation soon leads her to the determination that she is somehow the target of this psychotic killer.

Lacie enlists the aid of a renegade investigator,Nick St. James, to protect her and find the man she believes is responsible for the savage murder. In a plot full of superbly detailed investigation and unexpected twists Kadow leads us on a relentless and desperate search for an evil killer. She does it so well that it is impossible to put this book down until the end and then you will regret that it is done.

Summary: compelling page turner!
Review: This is a wonderful read! The storyline moves adroitly; the protagnists are well-developed characters and each achieve that "yeah, I wanna know this person" level. The "bad guy" is truly unique and unflinchingly evil. I wanted to read this book in one sitting, but also wanted it never to end... I've added Kadow to my Favorite Authors list, which, by my standards, holds only the best of the best (writing).
