Leigh Weston thought she’d left a troubled past behind when she moved back home to Carrington, North Carolina. But when dive team investigator Ryan Parker finds a body in the lake near her home, she fears the past hasn’t stayed where it belongs.
My Thoughts:
Beneath the Surface by Lynn H. Blackburn was a gripping
tale. Cop suspense meets medical suspense in this enthralling caper. I loved
all the characters (well, the good guys, anyway. The schmuck who left his wife
is my least liked character, even after the murderer). Ryan and Leigh were so
cute together, and so were Adam and Sabrina (even if they don't know it), and
all the other people I look forward to reading in the rest of the series. I
especially loved the relational dimension of everything, with the characters'
entwined pasts, though; Leigh's brother was a bit annoying. I can understand
telling other guys to stay away from your sister when you're both teenagers.
But when you're married and she's thirty years old and you're still keeping up
the don't-date-my-sister stuff, that's a bit extreme.
As for the suspense, it was really thrilling to think of
anything normal in your life possibly being dangerous. Makes you realize all
you take for granted in your day-to-day life. To think that someone you may know
might be trying to kill you- chilling.
The mystery was also really good. You really have no idea
who it is until they are finally revealed, though I did notice some patterns in
the killer's 'MO' (a term this book taught me).
This was a thoroughly enjoyable book which I recommend to
all fans of Christian suspense.
I received a complimentary copy of this novel. I was not
required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.
