A couple of months ago, I had the opportunity to read and review River’s Edge, by Terri Blackstock. This was the third in her Cape Refuge series. Before I read it, I decided to go back and find the first two novels and read them first. I was glad I did. This series is an excellent set of stories.

After River’s Edge, I was given a copy of the fourth book in this series, Breaker’s Reef. In many ways, this is the best of the four.

The first couple of books were sort of on the amateurish side, although still very good. But with River’s Edge, and especially with Breaker’s Reef, Backstock’s ability to weave a tale of suspense has really been refined.

The story is set in the by now familiar setting of Cape Refuge, a small island off the coast of Savannah, Georgia. Shortly after the events settle down from the previous stories, another murder happens. But this story unwinds in ways completely unlike the previous ones, and twists and turns in unexpected ways.

With all of the familiar faces from the rest of the series, Breaker’s Reef takes the story of Cape Refuge to the next level. Events occur that the reader has suspected from the very beginning, and others occur that are a complete surprise. It’s hard to expand on that without providing something of a spoiler.

Breaker’s Reef is an excellent part of Terri Blackstock’s bibliography, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, with the rest of the series. I highly encourage you to pick up a copy and read it, along with Cape Refuge, Southern Storm, and River’s Edge. You’ll be glad you did.
