Shadows on the Sand

Fiction author Gayle Roper begins a new adult fiction series. In the sleepy little New Jersey town of Seaside, lots of dangerous undercurrents are swelling among its inhabitants. Carrie Carter, a single, 30-ish victim of childhood abuse, runs a cafe with her younger sister, Lindsay. Carrie also does a mental "happy dance" in her head every time widower Greg Barnes comes in for breakfast. Barnes, a former police officer, is tending his own emotional wounds, trying to get past the guilt of not being able to save his wife and children from a violent death. Greg has a problem with Chaz when he has to evict him and Chaz tries to kill him. When Carrie's dishwasher is killed , her waitress disappears, and her former alcoholic mom and husband shows up there is plenty of drama. What is the connection between Jase and  Andi? Why is Andi hiding? Greg and Carrie set out to solve the mysteries with help from the twitters and texters.
I found this book to worth my time to read and I would recommend it to others who enjoy Fiction/Suspense.
