Deadly Currents: Hidden Bay Book 3 By Elizabeth Goddard-Romantic Suspense/Christian Mystery Suspense

 Book Synopsis

USA Today Bestselling Author Elizabeth Goddard Presents a Gripping Thrill Ride

Investigative journalist Cressida Dane arrives in Hidden Bay after a worldwide journey to finish her late father's manuscript on shipwrecks. As she tries to discover the story behind the "ghost ship" Specter's Bounty, her only lead is a name her father left behind--Evelyn Monroe. As Cressida uncovers more about the ship, she quickly realizes that her research has placed her in the crosshairs of dangerous forces.

County detective Braden Sanders is in Hidden Bay for one reason--to get his niece lifesaving medical treatment. To do that, he is assigned to protect Cressida from a revenge-driven enemy. Together, Braden and Cressida dig deeper to discern the myth from the facts surrounding the Specter's Bounty.

But more is brewing under the surface than they could ever imagine. Entangled in secrets, they must unravel the past before the current sweeps away their future.

My Review

Deadly Currents is a phenomenal, fast-paced conclusion to Elizabeth Goddard’s Hidden Bay series. It's filled with twists and turns, making it a "notebook and pen" kind of mystery keeping track of clues. It kept me guessing until the explosive ending. Featuring brilliant storytelling readers have come to love from Goddard, this final book perfectly ties up loose ends. Braden and Cressida have to rely on each other, dealing with their growing attraction amidst the chaos, though trust issues get in the way.

Cressida is on a mission to finish her late father’s research into the shipwreck, The Specter's Bounty. Braden is there to protect her, but in this small town, who do you trust when all looks shady?  I love that familiar characters from the first two books returned to play minor, but important roles. I am sad to see this series end, yet I'm eagerly looking forward to Goddard's new series, Mercy Ridge, launching in August 2026. This book and series are highly recommended for fans of clean romantic suspense! Author Elizabeth Goddard will always be an instant read for me.
