Book description from Amazon.com:
” After a harrowing experience with an obsessed patient, oncology nurse practitioner Leigh Weston needed a change. She thought she’d left her troubles behind when she moved home to Carrington, North Carolina, and took a job in the emergency department of the local hospital. But when someone tampers with her brakes, she fears the past has chased her into the present. She reaches out to her high school friend turned homicide investigator, Ryan Parker, for help.
Ryan finds satisfaction in his career, but his favorite way to use his skills is as a volunteer underwater investigator with the Carrington County Sheriff’s Office dive team. When the body of a wealthy businessman is discovered in Lake Porter, the investigation uncovers a possible serial killer–one with a terrifying connection to Leigh Weston and deadly implications for them all.
Dive into the depths of fear with an exciting new voice in romantic suspense. Award-winning author Lynn H. Blackburn grabs readers by the throat and doesn’t let go until the final heart-pounding page.”
My Review:
Wow and wow. I rarely use the word “amazing” in a review. I’m using it in this one. It takes less than five minutes to get completely absorbed in this story of mystery and suspense. The plot is intriguing and every page holds a new twist that you did not see coming. I completely connected with these characters and cared very much about them. I did not want to put this book down until I had finished it.
It’s a pleasure to read such a well-crafted mystery story that has an element of faith carried throughout the whole story line. No bad language, no embarrassing scenes. I am so looking forward to reading the next book in this series.
