Thoughts:
Miranda, a CSI on hiatus, is spending the summer at the small
Texas coastal town of Lost Beach photographing birds for a nature calendar.
This is just the respite she needs after particularly tough case that didn’t
end well. However, while photographing, Miranda stumbles upon a double murder
and she becomes embroiled in the investigation when the police discover her
skills.
Miranda’s photography captured my interest, I’d love to
photograph birds in the marshes of Texas! Well, maybe not in the summer as I hate
mosquitos and unfortunately, they love me!
Flight had a perfect balance between the main
mystery/thriller and the romance. It was a little heavier on the romance than a
lot of police procedurals, but I was on board with that as I really connected
with Joel and Miranda’s romance! That being said, the police procedural part was
interesting, and it seems like Ms. Griffin always features cutting-edge techniques.
I’ve read several of Laura Griffin’s
books, but Flight stands out as one of my favorites!
Goodreads description:
When former forensic photographer Miranda Rhoads moves to the seaside town of Lost Beach, she's decided to make her living as a wildlife photographer and put crime scenes behind her. But her plans are quickly upended when one morning, she comes across a couple sleeping in a canoe, entwined in an embrace. Looking closer, she realizes the man and woman aren't asleep—they’ve been murdered.
Detective Joel Breda sets out to find answers—not only about the unidentified victims in the marshy death scene, but also about the aloof and beautiful photographer who seems to know more about his investigation than he does.
As they begin to unravel the motivation of a merciless serial killer, Miranda and Joel must race against the clock to make an arrest before the killer can find them first.
