Deadly Undertow (Lantern Beach Mysteries Book 6)
The current’s fatal pull is powerful, but so is one detective’s will to live.
When someone from Cassidy Livingston’s past shows up on Lantern Beach and warns her of impending peril, opposing currents collide, threatening to drag her under. Running would be easy. But leaving would break her heart.
Cassidy must decipher between the truth and lies, between reality and deception. Even more importantly, she must decide whom to trust and whom to fear. Her life depends on it. As danger rises and answers surface, everything Cassidy thought she knew is tested.
In order to survive, Cassidy must take drastic measures and end the battle against the ruthless gang DH-7 once and for all. But if her final mission fails, the consequences will be as deadly as the raging undertow.

Suspense, quirky ice cream truck, light house mystery, murder, romance, clean Christian book with great characters. Well writte
Christy Barritt will keep you turning the pages. I received the first book in the series as a freebie. When I finished it I ordered the next one and before I knew it I bought all 6 books in the series and loved each one. I read all six books in less than 7 days. There is suspense, murder, gang related drug trafficking, humor- an ice cream that seems to have a mind of its own when it comes to playing music - even when its not turned on. You can read each book in the series as a stand alone but each one will not complete the whole story. Each one is better than the last and has a teaser at the end. There is human trafficking, romance, a lighthouse that plays a part in almost all the books. Some of the characters are just that - characters to love, laugh at, some that will make you wonder which side of the law they are really on. My kindle went everywhere with me while I was reading this series. No one asked me to read, review or say anything about these books. All opinions are my own and all I can say is that I was sorry to see the series to come to an end. I normally don't like series that go more than 3-4 books. I highly recommend the Lantern Beach series. WARNING!! You might lose some sleep or let a few errands go. I did.
Bravo! And a standing ovation!
Just finished this series and it was amazing! I never read books in a series back to back. I like to bide my time and plan the next enjoyment. But this Lantern Beach Mystery series was so good I devoured it all at one time. I couldn't wait to see what the next adventure for Cassidy and Ty and Mac and the crew would behold. And I was never disappointed. One thing I love about her books is they are densely packed with great stories. They don't need gratuitous profanity or titillating sexual scenes. And there aren't any! Clean and richly told. I read the Lantern Beach Series first and wish I'd done them in order but either way these are great stories. You'll fall in love with the characters and cheer them on when they face danger and evil. This is some of the most satisfying reading I've done in awhile.
A wonderful top-notch suspense novel
I have read all of Christy Barritt's books, so of course, I have been reading all of the Lantern Beach novels the moment they come out. From the first book, Hidden Currents, I have been waiting to see how Barritt as going to end the series. Luckily with Deadly Undertow, Cassidy's past finally catches up to her. Filled with a non-stop chase toward and away from the bad guys, Barritt fills a novel with enough suspense to keep me happy. The romance between Cassidy and Ty takes center stage on the fridges of the story as the tension strikes hotter and hotter. I really enjoyed this ending, even though Barritt verified who I figured who the head guy behind DH-7 was, but then again, I'm pretty good at solving mysteries. I thoroughly enjoyed the Lantern Beach series, and I can't wait to see what she plans to come up with next.
Loving This Series!
"Today's Goals: Spend as much time with Ty as possible. That's it." Except that the crunch of tires on the gravel drive approaching her beach side cottage didn't belong to Ty Chambers at all; it was Ryan Sampson, her ex-fiance, that stood at the door, acting as if they were still the dearest of friends. Dearest of friends, indeed. How had he found her? And why is the news that he brings her so hard to comprehend? Join Cassity Livingston as she races against time to discern who is her friend and who is her enemy as two totally different worlds collide against a deadly undertow! "Courage is not a lack of fear. It's facing your fears."
Going to Buy and Donate Paperbacks Now! (Big Expense for Me but Worth It!)
I'm so relieved to see these characters will continue in other books that spin off this series. Although I bought the first 5 parts on my Kindle, I now want to buy them as paperbacks and donate them to the local library so others can enjoy them and so the library will promote this writer. That's how much I enjoyed these books!
Thrilling conclusion
The thrilling conclusion of this series is non stop action that demands your attention right the the end. Cassidy’s ex shows up and gives her info that throws her into confusion. Has she trusted the right people? As things go down to the wire, we are left turning pages to find out if she’s going to succeed….getting through her confusion, trusting herself, and still coming out of this alive. I will say my suspicions played out. Fitting conclusion and a series I thoroughly enjoyed.
Undercover
Cassidy came to Lantern Beach to go under cover of a large drug ring, DH-7, Raul was the head of the g. She suspected her old boy friend, Ryan the DA was overall money man and man that called the shots.. Her next door neighbor, Ty was coming to mean a lot to her. .Samuel was her contact and the police chief was helping her. I loved this book shows that good can triumph over evil.
Ho hum
Overall the story line was ok, but the author has a habit in this series of making her two stars appear to be stupid at times. I’m no detective or ex navy SEAL but I sure wouldn’t have fallen into the traps they did. Ty an ex terrorist hunter was made out to be naive, something I’m sure a navy SEAL is not. And Caddy, the detective? I sure wouldn’t want either of them protecting me. A good romantic yarn that you can flick through quickly if you don’t dwell on the detail. I liked Lantern Beach.
Mystery, mayhem, and romantic adventures...
This has been such an amazing series. It’s full of mystery, romance, and great character development. The sense of humor mixed with suspense was so engaging. I love Cassidy and Ty’s adventures. The series finale was perfect and I’m so excited for more to the story. I wish I could live in Lantern Beach...love the area...Absolutely 5 stars!
Stayed up late to read it all
I have every book in the series. Most excellent. But this one topped it off. A real heart stopper. I kid you not. I started it early this evening and absolutely could not put it down. Movie material for sure. So glad there is more to come! I got attached to Ty and Cassidy. You will too but read the whole series. You can read this as a stand alone thanks to a couple of flash back chapters but you would miss so much action. Thank you, C.B. for being such a great writer.
