Publisher's Summary

A sinking boat is spotted off the South Coast. Waiting onboard is a grisly discovery.

DCI Boyd, recently relocated from London to Hastings, is now with the East Sussex CID, and his first case is that of a local businessman and his new young wife, missing in the English Channel. All that remains of them is a grim scene aboard their half-submerged yacht and a digital trail of clues that could put Boyd and his daughter, Emma, in danger.

Silent Tide is the first in the DCI Boyd series by award-winning author Alex Scarrow.

Found my new author!

Great storyline and narrator. This is the first of the Boyd series so can’t wait to start the next one.

Thanks!

Shaping up well, silly ending

i will give this series time as it was certainly shaping up okay for most of this book. But then it degenerated into almost-slapstick nonsense at the end. i would've preferred some fidelity to a police procedural where justice prevails through good solid investigation. i'm so over the trope of the obstructive/unsupportive boss who makes it difficult for the true investigators to do their work.

Oh it’s ok.

It’s so disappointing how ordinary this writing is. The best part is the narrative
Still I will get the second book see how it goes.
