Girl Under Water
(Charlotte Winters #2)
by L.T. Vargus and Tim McBain
Her numb fingers scrabble over upholstery, over metal, over glass, searching for a way out. Water stings her eyes as she’s dragged downward, clinging to her last breath as she’s absorbed into the cold dark below…
With the voice of her murdered sister ringing in her ears —pushing her to risk everything to bring justice to the innocent —Charlie takes matters into her own hands. She won’t let another family break apart like her own, and she knows the answers she needs are hidden somewhere inside the Carmichael home.
But as Charlie races to confront her main suspect—a file containing evidence that will devastate the Carmichael family on the car seat beside her —she’s rammed off the road and over the edge of a nearby cliff. Fighting for breath in a sinking car, Charlie has to survive or other innocent lives will be taken. Everyone involved is keeping secrets, but only one twisted soul is prepared to kill to keep theirs…
An addictive crime thriller with twists at every turn, you won’t know what hit you after you’ve finished Girl Under Water. A perfect read-in-one-sitting rollercoaster ride for anyone who adores Angela Marsons, Robert Dugoni, and Mary Burton.
My Rating:
Favorite Quotes:
“I mean, you’re not getting any younger…. Those eggs of yours are probably halfway to hardboiled by now.” “That’s not how it works,” Charlie grumbled. “Regardless… what are you waiting for? Your AARP card?”
I hope his corpse is rolling around in his grave knowing I won. Just spinning down there like a rotisserie chicken.
I’m just telling it like it is… Being honest, which is a concept I know you have no comprehension of. Is there a class you have to take when you become a politician that removes your ability to be authentic?
My Review:
Book two in the continuation of my besotted love fest for this clever pair of wordsmiths, I adore their snarky humor and dark thriller murder mysteries. This one was lively, eventful, witty, well-paced, and intense with family drama, patricide, and an added kick of taboo. Oh, my! I am hooked on the main character of Charlie who comes replete with the humorous, argumentative, and observant voice of her dead twin in her head. I deeply resented and hissed at any interruption to my perusal and was reluctant to relinquish my beloved Kindle for those pesky interruptions such as a churlish husband’s demands for sustenance, the need for caffeine infusions, and who needs sleep anyway? The phone and doorbell went unanswered as I have my priorities straight. I am eager to see what comes next from this dastardly duo of scribblers.
