Midnight Dunes

By Laura Griffin
Midnight Dunes by Laura Griffin digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

When the shocking discovery of a murdered woman’s body disturbs the tranquility of tourist season, the police detective in charge of the puzzling case must work alongside the new filmmaker in town to pursue every lead in the new romantic thriller from New York Times bestselling author Laura Griffin.

After a scandal derails her television reporting career, Macey Burns comes looking for a change of pace in Lost Beach, Texas. She’s ready to focus on her first passion—documentary filmmaking—and has a new job working for the island’s tourism board, shooting footage of the idyllic beachside community. Her plans for a relaxing rebound are dashed when she realizes the cottage she’s renting belonged to the woman whose body was just found in the sand dunes.
 
Detective Owen Breda is under intense pressure to solve this murder. Violent crimes are rising in his small town, and he can’t stand to see anyone else hurt…especially not the beautiful documentarian who keeps showing up at the precinct.
 
With the clock ticking, cameras rolling, and body count climbing, Macey and Owen must use all their resources to find the killer without getting caught in the crosshairs.

Midnight Dunes Reviews

3.5
“First Laura Griffin book I've read and it was enjoyable. Romance + murder mystery will always be a winning combo for me. It kept me interested and wanting to know more a bit cheesy at times ( the last chapter especially ) but it worked with the story - pretty much what you'd expect. I liked the different perspectives from multiple people and the character driven approach to the world of homicide but I feel like there could have been more depth added to side characters like Nicole. Will be wanting to read more of the Texas Murder Files in the near future”
“Not my favorite in the series BUT it made me remember why I love this beautiful world in Texas and the characters. There was a lot more focus on the investigation so the romance kind of got shoved to the side. I did love seeing more of Owen (he was more of a side character role in the previous book). His imposter syndrome was SO relatable. Macey’s character fell flat for me. Her character almost seemed too closed off even for me as the reader to get to know her. I still 100% recommend this series and this author. “Flight” is my favorite book in the series so far!”
