About the Book:
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 Thoughts:
“Could she trust him to keep her alive? Or trust him I that wasn’t his plan at all?”
(p. 206)
Leigh Weston wrestles with a lot of questions in Lynn H. Blackburn’s
novel, Beneath the Surface. She has come to her lake home to restore
peace in her life after a traumatic event, only to have a dead body turn up
nearby, and then to be pursued by an unknown killer. Detective Ryan Parker, a childhood friend of her
older brother, is assigned to the case, but even his best attempts to keep
Leigh safe are thwarted at every turn.
Leigh begins to reach out God, who she’s basically ignored for a while,
and begins to wonder if He hears her cries for help.
This is a really well-written story, and both Leigh and Ryan will
become a familiar presence in your heart and mind as you walk with them through
their adventure. There are many twists
and turns, but once it’s discovered that there is a serial killer on the move
in this North Carolina town, this pace ramps up quickly. I must say, I really enjoy an author who
keeps her villains well-hidden until the end of the novel!
This is the first in the Dive Team series, so jump on board and hang on
for the ride! There is a bit of romance
mixed in, but the chase of the killer takes precedence. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and I’m happy
to recommend it to everyone!
