BLOOD IN THE WATER

Keylor Leigh's narration makes it immediately understandable why Kaylani McKinnon doesn't want to leave Brooklyn for a summer in Martha's Vineyard with family friends. Once there, she finds herself sharing a room with one of the mean-girl siblings and unable to communicate with her beloved dad, who's incarcerated. That's before Chadwick, a popular boy and one of the only people who is nice to her, is killed. When the investigation reveals Chadwick was murdered, not killed by a shark, Kaylani works to find out why, in the process learning more about the place and people around her. Leigh's success at heightened emotions greatly increases the drama as Kaylani searches for the truth about the loss of her friend. E.J.F. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2025]
