Book Review: "Death on the Beach" By Anna Johannsen

A young girl goes missing but why doesn't anyone seem to care?

Something clearly is off center when Maria goes missing and her parents couldn't give a hoot less.


What could cause her to leave?


Was she depressed, suicidal, desperate for freedom?


Or was she murdered?


Those closest are interviewed and the clues start to show a pattern of denial and deceit.
These devoutly religious islanders clearly are hiding something.


Soon, Detective Lena learns the island and the islanders are hiding something deep, dark, and disturbing!


Could this be a 'cult' of sorts in play?


What if everyone is permanently silenced?


It turns out the reality of the situation is truly magnified by the classless, senseless, disgusting actions of one.


Abuse is at the heart of the matter and it's truly an unspeakable act against an innocent person.


Those in positions of authority must protect and defend our young not put them in harm's way.


This was clearly well written, thorough, and precise with that investigative and procedural feel that encompassed readers minds and kept those like myself engaged from start to finish.


Thank you to Anna, the pub, NetGalley, and Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
