Forgotten Coast

Forgotten Coast Series by Dawn Lee McKenna are a set of suspenseful, semi noir fiction novels by one of the best American talents in the suspense genre. Lee McKenna is known for penning the “Forgotten Coast Florida” Suspense series that went on to become a bestselling series and “See You” a Southern fiction novel. She has also co-written “The Still Waters” Suspense series alongside Axel Blackwell her friend. While she was born in Florida, she developed a love for writing Southern novels after she moved to Tennessee when she was in her thirties. Her Southern novels are set in small quirky towns with remarkable, funny and fascinating characters though the South itself is also a character in her novels. While she writes novels that are to some extent different, they have a lot in common. The most common thing about her novels is that they have damaged yet deeply funny and strong characters, who are relatable despite their flaws. From Miss Evangeline the 90 year old Creole, to Jack Canfield with his droll and honor, to Maggie Redmond who is damaged and strong and Bennett Boudreaux the dangerously charming and hilariously inappropriate criminal, they are all lovable characters.
