This was just okay for me. I do love Ellery and Jack ... and the utterly charming Pirate Cove setting and eccentric side characters. The series has become a little stale. The mysteries are a little tedious and I am more interested in the progression of the MCs relationship. I will read the next book (no question about that) ... I just have to wait for it to be released.

Finally!!!
This book was probably my favourite of the series.
In Death at the Deep Dive, Ellery tries to solve a 59 years old disappearance. Which is probably a murder case.
As the clues get clearer and a solution is closer, a very fresh body is found, and it is very much possible that all the lines run into the same solution.
The storytelling and mystery in this one were really well built, and I really liked it. I was invested in the story.
The Silver Sleuths were as exasperating as every, bringing the small town charm and gossip mill.
Finally, Ellery and Jack's relationship reqches the next level. I only waited seven books for that to happen. And I loved it. It's so Jack and Ellery.
Of course, my favourite character remains Watson. That dog is adorable and is really his unique character that gives so much warmth to the story.
My only complaint is that there are so many typos in the book. And not just typos, but names are messed up (Ellery ->Elliot, Jack->Jake, Tackle ->Trucker). It's so distracting. And it's clear a round of proofreading/beta reading or editing would've sold it. And it's my peeve when the author doesn't much care about quality.
All in all, I'm still determined to read anything from this series because I'm way too invested. I also want to dive into the author's other books.

This was a really confusing read. It follows the events of book #5 but it's book #7 or maybe it's book #6 now? But then if it's book #6 why does it feel like so much happened in the last few months that we know nothing about
