21. Finished Landfall by Dawn Lee McKenna another in the Forgotten Coast series

then fell right into another one, Dead Wake
I really enjoy these books, so much in fact that I broke down and bought another one when Kindle was offering double points.
I hope she keeps writing them.

Dead Wake: When the local florists find a dead guy in their wall, it opens up a decades-old missing persons case. It also opens up a Pandora’s box of secrets - secrets that might have ramifications for Sheriff’s Office investigator Maggie Redmond.

Maggie and Sheriff Wyatt Hamilton learn that local kingpin Bennett Boudreaux was the primary suspect in the disappearance of Holden Crawford almost forty years ago, but he had an alibi. The problem is, no one knows what that alibi was. The former sheriff won’t tell, and even Boudreaux himself refuses to say.

When a photograph of Maggie’s own father becomes an important part of the case evidence, learning Boudreaux’s secret becomes even more crucial.

When is going to jail for a murder you didn’t commit preferable to revealing the proof of your innocence? Who is Boudreaux really shielding?
Note about the character Boudreaux: Maggie refers to him as a Professional Suspect
