When Isla's best friend vanishes many years later Isla is on a mission to uncover what really happened to her best friend all those years ago. But Isla has more worries of her own as her parents are caught up in a dodgy business, can Isla work together with a cop to help save her family from going down. There is a lot of trouble, tension, grittiness to this story with a good pace to follow along with. Can Isla solve both crimes whilst working undercover? I liked the story and the way it flowed. All the characters were believable and I could not see what was coming. The ending wrapped everything up brilliantly.

Bay of Plenty was an interesting mystery/thriller. While I enjoyed the dynamic between Ilsa and Declan, I had a really hard time getting through the book. I found that my biggest two problems were pacing and the actual mystery. In terms of pacing it felt like the story hopped from place to place with little explanation. I also felt like the author struggled to pick the mystery for the heart of the story. It felt like the main mystery was supposed to be about the drug ring but instead you spent so much time focused on Janey. I understand the two end up with some connections, but I would have enjoyed the story more if it had focused on one.
