About Silent Tide:
A sinking boat is spotted a few miles off the south coast.
Waiting onboard, is a grisly discovery.
DCI Bill Boyd — recently relocated from London to Hastings — is now with the East Sussex CID and his first case is that of a local business man and his new young wife, missing in the English Channel.
All that remains of them is a grisly discovery aboard their half-submerged yacht and a digital trail that could put Boyd and his daughter, Emma, in danger.

My Thoughts:
A very promising start to a new-to-me series!
I don't like Her Madge very much. But I guess there has to be one of those, eh?
The plot is not very straight forward, but not very twisty either. Just enough for a crime fiction to snag interest.
What I want to know is, what did the Russians left Boyd with?!...
I would like to see Ozzie take a more meaningful part in the story!Ozzie
This is my second Aubrey Parsons series. The first one is DCI Harry Grimm series in which the first book is Grimm Up North by David J. Gatward. Love this book and this series! That is why I was so happy to discover another book/series that he is narrating! The sample of the audiobook got this book bought!
The audiobook is what sold this book to me!
