The waves are off the hook, and Pope and the other Pogues are betting big on Kiara blowing the Kook competition out of the water. What could possibly go wrong?
It's summer in the OBX, and a big surfing competition is bringing in pro surfers from around the world to Kildare Island, along with plenty of Kooks and tourists. Meanwhile, a storm has delivered massive waves, making for perfect—yet challenging-surfing conditions.
But Kiara, who has been training, is up for the challenge. As for Pope, he just started his summer internship at the city morgue—his dream job!
When Kiara strikes up a flirtation with one of the pro surfers, Pope, John B, and JJ can't help but get a little jealous at the attention she receives. Meanwhile, the visiting surfers are treating Pope's dad, Heyward, like some kind of hero, but he won't explain why. When one of the professional surfers washes up dead on the beach, everyone assumes he got crushed by a wave. But Pope, Kiara, and the rest of the Pogues aren't so sure.

Surfing and sleuthing keep the Outer Banks teens on their toes. A big surfing competition is happening on the Outer Banks, thrilling Kie but putting her at odds with her parents, who'd prefer she spend time with the wealthy Kooks. Kie befriends the professional surfers who are in town for the big event, including one particularly cute competitor. Pope is working at his new internship at the morgue, while JJ and John B are enjoying time on the water. But when the dead body of one of the out-of-town visitors washes up, it's up to Kie and the Pogues to solve the mystery and save the day--before everyone leaves town. This murder mystery seamlessly blends familiar characters with newcomers, using the influx of summer visitors as a believable backdrop. Pope's and Kie's alternating perspectives provide the narrative with depth, as their different career aspirations--coroner and surfer, respectively--add context and dimension to their characterizations. As in the show, Pope is Black, and Kie is biracial, Black and white. Readers who are new to this world may find it difficult to keep up with the large cast, but it's a treat for loyal followers, who will enjoy riding the wave to its satisfying conclusion. A summery, surf-filled mystery sure to entertain fans of the show. (Mystery. 13-18)COPYRIGHT(2023) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
