This author continues to deliver. As soon as I see #brspangler, I'm hooked! Love these characters - their community and connection - can't wait for the next!

A detective joins the team - his niece attended the fun fair, same details regarding her death. Could they be connected?
Fast paced, excellent writing and suspense. A must read!

The Lighthouse Girls returns readers to the Outer Banks and Detective Casey White, who at the end of book five found out what really happened to her daughter Hannah, and with the truth finally revealed and most of the team having moved on it's down to Casey and Tracy to investigate when a teenager is found dead by Casey's boyfriend Jericho in the water near a local lighthouse.
But what starts out as a simple murder investigation soon becomes much more when its revealed the dead teens sister is also missing and the pair were last seen at a travelling fun fair. But is someone from the travelling fair to blame or is there something far more sinister happening closer to home?
And with more murders that bring the old team back together, a death that hits close to home and plenty of twists this was a very engaging read and I was easily gripped. Not to mention I had no idea who was responsible until they were revealed.
I would therefore happily recommend The Lighthouse Girls to others.

I love when I discovered new to me writers and their novels. The latest is this grasping detective investigation that held my attention till the last page.
This was my first book in the series, but it could be easily read as a standalone as we get a good understanding of the main character's past.
A teenage girl is found dead and her sister has gone missing after both of them attending a funfair in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The setting is really interesting to read about as usually we get more big cities plots, so this was a refreshing idea for me.
The investigation will bring out a few hidden secrets from this community and the interactions were interesting to read. The main character has a great relationship with her team and my understanding is that one of them is not always present for all the books, but it’s a big part of the story.
It’s suspenseful at times and had a lot of turns where I thought I knew where this is going to end. A perfect read for many readers of the genre.
That ending surely was very unexpected and left a huge opening for the next instalment.
Very grateful to the publisher for my review copy though NetGalley.

desperate to find the girls eight-year-old sister Shawna. No doubt notifying a family when they lose a child is devastating, Casey’s job was that much harder when they realize that Shawna is missing. At the scene of the crime, a lighthouse near a beach, items are located that show that Shawna was likely kept at the location where the body was found. Casey can’t help but ponder as to why Shawna is missing. Furthermore, if Shawna is still alive, will they get to her in time?
As the search intensifies Casey discovers that the girls attended a funfair in the village. Talking to as many people as possible, turning over every clue, alerts Casey that something similar has happened before and that rests in cold cases that go back years. Casey uses her skills and rugged determination to connect past events to what is going on now with sincere hopes of finding Shawna alive.
Although the suspect pool is quite large, solving this case proves to be quite challenging because the members of the community appear to be keeping secrets, and this undoubtedly makes Casey’s job that much harder. This is a remarkable series that I have been thoroughly enjoying. Although The Lighthouse Girls is the sixth book in a riveting series, it is a series that is written quite well to the point it can very easily be read as a standalone. However, for the sake of continuity and understanding a bit more about the dynamic between Casey and her team, reading the books in order might be very enjoyable. Don’t miss this thrilling book, one that will keep you turning pages late into the night.
Many thanks to Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.

Another Solid Entry In Series. With Book 5 (The Memory Bones) wrapping up the core long-term mystery of the series (and this book spoiling that reveal early, so be forewarned if you haven't read that book yet), I wondered then if Spangler was closing out the series, not really seeing how it could move forward. Here, in a sense Spangler is offering more closure, with former teammates returning and (without going *too* far into spoiler territory) another teammate's death in this tale - while not yet offering any hint of any further long term mystery. Still, this is a murder mystery series with heart, and I'm absolutely along for the ride in Book 7, whatever Spangler decides to do with that. Start earlier in the series if you're new to it - possibly all the way back at Book 1 (Where Lost Girls Go), but I personally started at Book 4 (The Crying House) and found that to be a reasonable entry point as well. When you do, you're going to want this book on hand anyway, just to come back to a now-favorite storyline. :) Very much recommended.
