After her husband, Jack, dies in a climbing incident, Shauna has only her five-year-old son and her helicopter charter business to live for. Every day is a struggle to make ends meet and she lives in constant fear of losing even more than she already has.

When her business partner is murdered, his final words convince Shauna that she’s in danger too. But where can she turn?

Critic reviews

'. . . The View From Rainshadow Bay, opens with a heart-pounding, run-for-your-life chase. This book will stay with you for a long time, long after you flip to the last page.'

'Filled with the suspense for which Coble is known, the novel is rich in detail with a healthy dose of romance, allowing readers to bask in the beauty of Washington state's lavender fields, lush forests and jagged coastline.'

'In the small town of Lavender Tides, Shauna McDade, a grieving widow and pilot, gets swept up in a string of vicious murders. Narrator Devon O'Day's cool, steady performance moves at a moderate pace and is a perfect match for the Pacific Northwest town where danger lies at every turn. Shauna teams up with her late husband's best friend, Zach, to keep herself and her son safe while she searches for the truth. As the murderer closes in, O'Day ups the intensity of her narration and adds a full range of emotion. Shauna and Zach race to uncover a deadly conspiracy while also dealing with their shared grief and exploring their growing feelings for each other.'

'Set on Washington State's Olympic Peninsula, this first volume of Coble's new suspense series is a tensely plotted and harrowing tale of murder, corporate greed, and family secrets. Devotees of Dani Pettrey, Brenda Novak, and Allison Brennan will find a new favorite here.'

I am never disappointed in author's work.
I am looking forward to sequel

Great read.

Really enjoyed this story, and the reader did an excellent job with the different voices.

Predictable yet still fantastic

Great book by Coble! While this is#1 in the series, it made me want the other books right now!!

Great book

Great plot with well developed characters. The narration for the main character came across as whining sometimes in the audible version of the book. Otherwise, highly recommend the book.

Love lavender

I could not put this book down. It always kept me guessing .Never a dull moment. The narrator is awesome and very good change over to each person. The truth about God and his word through out the story so effortlessly and always in the right places .I really felt that I was right there watching it all play out right in front of me.
Thank you for taking me away for a few hours.
Will definitely be listening to more of Ms.Coble and Devon Day
another favorite author .The only thing that would make this book better is if I had the hard back and cd for my collection.Eccelent book and presentation.
