Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
When Cassidy Chambers accepted the job as police chief on Lantern Beach, she knew the island had its secrets. But a suspicious death with potentially far-reaching implications will test all her skills. Cassidy enlists the help of her husband, former Navy SEAL Ty Chambers. They must figure out if their John Doe is connected to the secretive group that has moved onto the island. As facts materialize, danger on the island grows. Can Cassidy and Ty discover the truth about the shadowy crimes in their cozy community? Or has darkness permanently invaded their beloved Lantern Beach?


My Review:
On the Lookout is a mystery. Police chief Cassidy identifies a potentially murdered man as coming from a cult located in her area. It's hard to investigate this closed-off group to determine if anything criminal is going on. Her husband, Ty, helps keep her safe as she asked questions and followed up on leads. Whodunit was guessable but not obvious, though I figured it out before Cassidy did. The main characters were engaging and reacted realistically to events. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this mystery.
