She thought that she would be safe when she moved back home... But she was dead wrong.
Hey Readers!
I am so excited to show you guys my second March 2018 "Must Read" - Beneath the Surface by Lynn H. Blackburn. Beneath the Surface is a Romantic Suspense novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat and I can guarantee you that it will be very hard to put down.
I would recommend this book if you:
- Like to read books by Lynette Eason and Dani Pettrey.
- Like to read suspense novels
- Like a good mystery
- Like to watch TV shows like CSI,
- Just want to read a great new book!
So here is the story,
Beneath the Surface is the story of Leigh Weston, a oncology nurse practitioner who just moved into her childhood home in Carrington , North Carolina. She moved back home because she needed a change of scenery after a narrow escape from an obsessed patient. She thought she left all her troubles behind but it appears that she has landed in trouble again. Less then a year after she moved back home, She receives a visit from homicide investigator Ryan Parker - who informs her that a body was discovered in the lake behind her house, near her dock. As awful as that was , Leigh did not think much of it besides how tragic and horrible it was ... Until it appears that she may be next. One morning, shortly after the body was discovered, She was halfway home from work when her brakes gave out. She tried everything to stop the car, but not even the emergency brake would work. She finally made the decision to go into a ditch - however, she did not realize just how deep the ditch was...
Ryan Parker has known Leigh since they were young. ( He was best friends with her brother) He promised her brother that he would watch out for her while he was out of the Country. So when his dive team discovered a body in the lake behind her house, He really did not want involve her. But they needed her permission to use her dock and to see her security cameras. When he hears that she was in a car accident, His heart literally felt like it was ripped out of his chest. Thankfully, she was not injured too bad, but the news just keeps getting worse for her. When they investigated her accident ,they discovered that it was no accident that her brakes went out. It appears as if someone cut her brakes while she was at work. The police think that Leigh's accident and the body found in the lake are two different crimes, But Ryan believes that they might be connected. The only problem with his theory is that he can't seem to find anyone who would want to hurt Leigh - nor can he find any enemies. But when there is another attempt on Leigh's life, Ryan knows he has to hurry to find the killer because they are getting bolder and time appears to be running out for Leigh. Will Ryan's team be able to protect Leigh and find the killer or will the killer be able to silence Leigh forever???
What did I think?
So this is Lynn H. Blackburn's first full size novel and book one of the Dive Team Investigations series and it was awesome! The characters each have so much personality and I loved reading about the relationship between Leigh and Ryan. The plot was so engaging that it started on page 1 and did not stop until the very last word on page 337. It also had so many twists and turns and dead ends that it keeps you guessing until the nail biting conclusion. The book has the perfect blend of romance and suspense. I will say that although reading about the body found in the lake was gross and the condition that it was in was atrocious - There was nothing violent, descriptive or morbid ( no blood and guts) in the book. Overall I thought the book was great and am looking forward to reading book 2 which comes out this November!!!
I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars ***** and the Emoji rating is 😎
