Description
TWO MISSING WOMEN. AN OCEAN FULL OF SECRETS . . .
'A first-class mystery - perplexing and at times disturbing' i paper
'Intelligence, imagination and lucid writing' The Times
____________
Kate and Flora have always been haunted by a mystery - their mother, Christine, vanished without trace when they were children.
But now Kate has a more urgent problem: Flora has disappeared too.
In desperation, she searches Flora's house, and finds a scrap of paper with a name scribbled on it: Cal McGill.
Cal is a 'sea detective': an expert in the winds and the tides, and consequently adept at finding lost things - and lost people.
Can Cal find Flora?
And might he even know the secret of what happened to their mother, all those years ago . . . ?

I didn’t realise this was part of a series, I read The Driftwood Girls as a stand alone and it was great! (Although I have now ordered the others)
I absolutely love the idea of a sea detective since there’s so much “unknown” about our seas and oceans and this kept me on edge throughout the story. Following Cal who I quickly fell in love with. A great, intelligent well thought character which seems to be rare in these sort of books.
The Driftwood Girls is tense with multiple characters and storylines all coming together to create a huge splash!
5/5
Lee C, Reviewer
The Driftwood Girls is the latest book in the excellent Sea Detective series by Mark Douglas-Home and it is another very well written and thoroughly entertaining crime book.
The book, which can easily be read as a standalone, starts slowly with a number of strands that I couldn't start to piece together however as the story evolved the jigsaw made more sense before a very satisfying conclusion was reached..
Definitely one to recommend
