Is this series drowning

Okay, this seemed to take a long time to get to the investigation and to be honest I nearly gave up. It was a lot of unnecessary family arguing and drama, oh so much drama and most of it is caused by the main character. However I stuck with it and although the arguing and snarky comments didn't stop, it did get better. I have been with this series from the start and never really got why Avery and Cara hated each other so much, other than because of the sheriff but in this book we learn a lot more about Cara and everything is explained. While Avery can be annoying at times and is definitely not my favourite character out there and I have no idea why her boyfriend puts up with her, she is loyal to the people she likes and does get to the bottom of an investigation, like only she can do. The mystery was actually good and at some point humours, if only she could be less whiney.

Eliot talks his girlfriend Avery into having a house warming party but soon wishes he didn't. Not only do they get unwanted guests turn up at all hours to swim in there swimming pool but it also makes them prime suspects when a murder occurs.
Her ex boyfriend and the sheriff Jake 's ex girlfriend and the woman who they kicked out of the party is found dead floating with the stingrays on the grand opening day of the new aquarium. Jake can't investigate and the Michigan State Police are called in. The detective seems to keen to investigate the three of them than anybody else. So it's up to Avery to find the killer. Avery never liked Cara but even she is surprised by what Cara was capable of. Can she get to the bottom of the murder before one of them is arrested?
I am not sure the narrator is the right person for this series. I don't think Avery is supposed to be quite as whiny as she makes her out to be. I do like The other character voices though.
