When Gloria Carmichael’s body is found broken and bleeding on the sidewalk just days after knocking on Detective Charlie Winters’ door begging for help to locate her father’s will, Charlie’s instinct is confirmed: her latest case is about more than just a simple family feud.
The Carmichaels are famous in Salem Island for their large family and charitable work, but, moments before she died, beautiful, trustworthy eldest daughter Gloria called Charlie to say she had uncovered a terrible secret that would break the mystery of her father’s death wide open.
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.
First, I want to thank L.T. Vargus, Tim McBain, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review
WOW!!! Reading L.T. Vargus and Tim McBain’s latest book Girl Under Water was like playing the very modernized version of clue in your mind. Girl Under Water is a sequel to their first book First Girl Gone. I highly suggest you read that first so you get to know the main characters from the first book. I absolutely loved this book and it was so completely different from their other books.
If you read the last book then you will remember how Charlie’s twin sister passed and her voice is in her head. You will hear a lot of Allie once again in this book. Plus, Charlie’s Mom is back as well.
With an incredible writing team like L.T Vargus and Tim Bain it is hard to know who wrote what part of the story. Right off the bat they captured my attention in the prologue. It was extremely dramatic, detailed, graphic (I could feel Dutch’s pain) and not to mention very suspenseful. It left you with a cliffhanger that we wouldn’t find out til the end.
Girl Under Water literally has something for everyone’s taste! Tragic deaths, sibling rivalries, extremely juicy secrets, family drama, celeb chefs, investigations, etc.
I loved how Charlotte Winters got to investigate and get to know all of Dutch’s Sons and Daughters. Each of them had their own unique personality and loved bashing eachother. As she got to know them she got a tour of their beautiful big house! I was in awe of how many bedrooms and bathrooms!
I am a fan of Bobby Flay and enjoy watching him on the Food Network. So, I loved how he was mentioned in Vivien’s storyline.
There were so many interesting stories within the main storyline. So many twists, turns and shocking revelations revealed!
Oh Snap!! L.T. And Tim actually went there!! Mind blown totally shocked with the ending that I would have not guessed in a million years!! Way to spice up the story last minute! Loved the twist!
