Having read and enjoyed the first two Sam McRae novels (Identity Crisis and Least Wanted), I was more than excited to see what she'd be up to in this third installment, and I'm thrilled to report that Riptide was a riveting ride of a mystery.Sam is at her dry witty best, while motoring up and down the coast of Ocean City, MD, seeking to vindicate her best friend, Jamila, who has been framed (or so she believes) for the murder of Billy Ray Wesley, the stepson of a local business man with lots of money and clout.The plot was tight and author Debbi Mack kept me guessing whodunnit to the very end. What I loved most about this third book is Sam's personal stake in the story - Jamila is her friend and she's not going to let her go down without a fight. Sam is hard on the outside, but she's got the soft, squishy heart of a teddy bear.If you've read other Sam McRae novels, you'll love this one too. If not, this is a great book to start with!
