If you’re looking for a mystery that’s both fun and intriguing, look no further than Devorah Fox and Jed Donellie’s Naked Came the Sharks. When Holly’s father passes, she returns home to find that his death may not have been innocent at all. In a battle over not just land, but the heart and soul of a coastal community called The Gap, Holly must face off against a slew of unscrupulous characters. Quirky at times, serious at others, Naked Came the Sharks is a lot of fun and well worth your time!

This was a unique mystery premise with some fun characters. Twists and turns kept me reading.

Entertaining romp through a sort of "Perils of Pauline" adventure.
