The Dark Tide is a wonderful story, but don't read it until you've read at least 2 of the predecessors in the Adrien English series - that's necessary to understand the context of the main characters, and the mysteries in the prior books are astonishingly good (as is the one involved in The Dark Tide). Once you read one of Josh Lanyon's books or stories you'll be hooked - there's seductive romance but sophisticated crime solving at the same time - it's like a wonderful meal accompanied by a great wine. There's a real power in Lanyon's work - it draws you in, involves you in a really good mystery and then leaves you feeling comforted and satisfied at the end. And his stories are enticing because they don't all fall into a single time period - except for the Adrien English series, read at random anything else Josh Lanyon has written and enjoy the ride - in the different stories you can feel variously as if you're in the postwar 1920's or wartime 1940's, visited with flying aces of World War I, are driving around contemporary southern California or involved in a cold case resolving itself in the backwoods of New Jersey.
