The Emerald Tide

Miramar Bay, Book 6

By: Davis Bunn

Narrated by: Graham Winton

A breathtaking new novel about letting go, taking chances, and embracing the healing power of love—from the international bestselling author of Tranquility Falls.

Just when he thought he’d buried his past and was moving on …

Four years after his wife’s death, art history teacher Derek Gaines has finally made a kind of peace with himself. He tries his best to stave off memories. His days are ones of familiar routine. Guarded against further pain, he keeps relationships at a safe distance. It’s all part of his necessary transition to surviving alone.

If anything is truly responsible for Derek making it back from the brink it’s his edifying work as a consultant for auction houses—and indulging a consuming sideline job: tracking stolen art. But Derek’s latest hunt will lead him toward challenges both professional and personal—that he’s not prepared to face …

He discovered the art of falling in love again …

Joining Derek on his quest is Kelly Reid, the new junior vice president at Christies Los Angeles. She is driven, ambitious, fiercely passionate about her work—and a fellow wounded kindred spirit. Bitterly immune to men’s promises, she’s never letting herself be vulnerable again. Yet even as trust and affection remain frightening territory, a tenuous start to her partnership with Derek slowly builds toward something more. And soon, both will be tested beyond anything they could have imagined—in the deepening mystery of a lost painting, and in matters of the heart, which can be the greatest mystery of all.

With love comes risk in The Emerald Tide, a powerful and emotional novel about daring to take a second chance.

An Inside peek at the Getty Museum

This was a complex story of the snooty world of Art, treasure hunters and theft.
A lot of interesting information on The Getty, Christie’s Auction House, and unscrupulous collector’s
Well narrated and easily held your attention .

A fun and interesting read

Engaging and entertaining with characters that draw you in Always sad when Bunn’s books are over

More interesting plot

I believe I enjoyed this better than all the previous Miramar Bay books. There was more than a wounded, hiding character found and healed in romance. There was plot, in which the romance was not central. Nice!

Excellent read!

So often, subsequent stories are much of the same. Not so for this one. Bunn really knocked it out of the ballpark.
