Charlene D’Avanzo

Environmental Mystery Writer

Glass Eels, Shattered Sea (2020)

November 12, 2019

When Mara and cousin Gordy meet an elderly fisherman netting eels on a dark spring night they unwillingly step into the crime-ridden world of glass eel trafficking.

D‘Avanzo’s page-turner makes real the beauty of Maine’s granite ledges, tidal pools and remote islands plus the greed of eel traffickers who stop at nothing to make their millions. KIM MILLICK, author of Rookie Game Warden

My wife and I love Maine’s islands, so of course I’ve enjoyed all of Charlene D’Avanzo’s novels, which really capture Maine’s islands and put you there – on the water. I must admit, I had no idea glass eel trafficking could be such an exciting story!
GEORGE SMITH, outdoor writer for Bangor Daily News

I am always delighted when a new Tusconi tale is released. The science is first rate, the locale beautifully described, and the characters are well developed. Deborah Wall McGraw 5 STARS
