Underwater Danger, 28 Oct 2003
When Michael Duvall’s body is found trapped in a sunken wreck in the British Virgin Islands, it is deemed a tragic accident. But when his father, the Denver police commissioner, has his office broken into the day that Michael’s personal effects are delivered, something doesn’t feel right. So Hannah Sampson is sent to investigate.A homicide detective and the head of the Denver underwater recovery team, Hannah has the perfect credentials to find out if there’s more to Michael’s death then meets the eye. At first skeptical, she quickly changes her mind when a car that’s been following her tries to run her down her first morning on the islands. But was it Michael’s environmental policies? Or had he found something else that got him murder? Hannah’s undeniable attraction to one of her top suspects only complicates matters. This book is obviously a first novel. It doesn’t have quite the polish of someone with a few more books under her belt. However, that only takes away slightly from the book. The setting is an area that the author knows and loves, and it shows. I’m ready to hop the next plane down to visit myself. The underwater scenes bring a new world to life. The plot, while a bit uneven, does progress nicely. I had my suspicions, but I only figured things out a little before Hannah did, and the climax was breath taking. This was an enjoyable debut, and I look forward to seeing the series progress when the next book is released.
