A friend facing impending peril.Police Chief Cassidy Chambers longs for a break from the recent crimes plaguing Lantern Beach. She simply wants to enjoy her friends’ upcoming wedding, to prepare for the busy tourist season about to slam the island, and to gather all the dirt she can on the suspicious community that’s invaded the town.But trouble explodes on the island, sending residents—including Cassidy—into a squall of uneasiness. Cassidy may have more than one enemy plotting her demise, and the collateral damage seems unthinkable.As the temperature rises, so does the pressure to find answers. Someone is determined that Lantern Beach would be better off without their new police chief. And for Cassidy, one wrong move could mean certain death.

Christy Barritt has done it again! This is another FANTASTIC, FAST PACED, FULL OF ACTION and SUSPENSE book! (With a bit of romance mixed in.) Her stories just keep getting better and better!
Life has gotten more and more complicated for Police Chief Chambers. It seems wherever she turns there is a crime. It’s as if ever since she became the chief the crime on Lantern Beach has gone crazy. Could it be this new group of people who have moved into town and who is really behind all the text messages she’s been getting?
I love the suspense, action, and intrigue Christy Barritt puts into all of her stories. This one is no different. It is so full of suspense I had no idea which person was the true bad guy. I’ve had my thoughts, but I’m still not totally sure.
Wow! It kept me on the seat of my chair and I just couldn’t put it down. I actually read it so fast that I wanted to pick up the next book right away!
I was given this book by the author which did not influence my review in any way, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Another great book by Christy Barritt! I think all her books are great, though! This one continues with Cassidy Chambers as the previous two books. This book is part of the Lantern Beach PD series, and this is a series that must be read in order, since each book leaves something unraveled, at the end. I love the way she wrote this series. It makes me want to read the next one as quick as I can!

I really enjoyed this book. Barritt does such a great job making you feel like you are part of the book. Cassidy Chambers feels like a friend, therefore, the characters are very relatable!

I received a copy from Christy Barritt and all opinions are my own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Exciting Installment
Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2019

First Degree Murder by Christy Barritt starts with three complete skeletons uncovered on the beach. As the plot progresses, more and more danger encapsulates Cassidy and all her friends. Readers will learn more about Gilead Cove and keep their disgust for them on the forefront of their mind. The mystery keeps building as the story moves along. The familiar characters bring a smile to my face. I don't know how Barritt can write such wonderful cozy mysteries and publish them every month, but I extremely grateful she does. There isn't much wait time between stories, so readers forget what happened in the previous stories. I really enjoyed this third addition, and I can't wait to see what troubles find Cassidy and the gang in the next installments.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of My Favorite Series Has a New Episode!
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2019

"Things on Lantern Beach were never simple", especially for Police Chief Cassidy Chambers. Dead bodies keep turning up; this time the skeletons appear to have been hurriedly buried in the sand on a deserted stretch of rugged shoreline. Sadly, corpses can still tell a story, and Cassidy is convinced that the deaths are related to other strange happenings in her little town; especially when the cult at Gilead's Cove and its charismatic leader seem to hover around the edges of what can/cannot be proven. And to make matters worse, strange text messages lead her to believe that someone knows her past.

Join Cassidy, her husband Ty, and other members of their tight knit circle of friends and co-workers, as they frantically try to unravel what has transpired in their idyllic beach community, before there are more first degree murders.
