Victoria's Rating: 4 out of 5 bookmarks
I hadn’t been afforded the opportunity to read a Colleen Coble book before and I was excited to see this copy pop up. The synopsis instantly caught my interest. DNA, Florida, and a murderer from years prior on the loose? Sign me up!
I greatly enjoyed this book. I read it in record time for myself and I was impressed that this book not only caught my interest right away, but kept me turning pages until the very end. My attention span has been a little short of late, so finding a book that keeps my interest as deeply as this one did is a rarity and a joy. The pacing of this book was spot on and never left a dull moment, even with all of the information that needed to be relayed.
I was fascinated by the marine biology that was part of the backdrop of this book, but I personally love learning little tidbits when reading fiction and this book did not disappoint.
The characters have depth and real motivations for the way they act and I like how it takes nearly the whole book to unravel who they are as people and how their life circumstances have changed them. The secondary characters seem to be a little lacking in development, and I think I would have liked to get into their motivation a little bit more.
I also loved how Coble was quite tasteful about the subject matter. It is never overly gruesome or overwhelmingly scary and the romance is also super laid back without any crazy moments.
If you enjoy murder mysteries or suspenseful romances, you will love this book! Plot twists abound as well, so hang on tight for a wild ride!
