Deadly Tides: A Misty Pines Mystery by Mary Keliikoa, Mary Keliikoa
2.0
I don't know if it's coincidental or like purposeful that both antagonists in all the Jax Turner novels I've read fromm Mary Keliikoa are female. It's also stranger because statistically male murderers are more like frequent that female ones but #girlpower #girlboss I guess?
The plot was definitely a ride because I didn't know who was actually the murderer. While Margot was definitely suspicious, I thought she was interested in Jax, not a whole murderer! Her motivation was definitely a bit stereotypical though because a woman with daddy issues being the murderer is a bit....distateful. Also the first book (Hidden Pieces I think) that had someone with a split personality. I think this means that Keliikoa just likes to recycle the stereotypical antagonists which is........nice.
I also think that it's really nice to see relationships heal from Jax and Abby to Rachel and her father. Even if Rachel and her father haven't been shown to reconcile, the implication is nice. Hopefully, they will. It's good to show healing relationships.
