Book Review ~ Beneath The Surface (Dive Team Investigations Book One) by Lynn H. Blackburn

Beneath The Surface is the first book in the Dive Team Investigations series by Lynn H. Blackburn. When diver and homicide investigator Ryan Parker stumbles across a body at the bottom of the lake, the trail leads him to the door of Leigh Weston, a local nurse practitioner, who ends up having more to do with the investigation - and his future - than he ever thought possible.

Littered with more questions than answers, endless dead-ends, and stakes that keep rising - Beneath The Surface is a romantic suspense novel that is sure to keep you guessing until the very last page. Lynn's writing style reveals a natural talent for creating tantalizing scenery and realistic dialogues that leave you feeling as though you're right there in the room watching the story unfold.

I truly appreciate the realism used in her character development and the credibility given to the natural building of emotions and relationships between those characters in their given situations and circumstances. My only complaint about this book is simply the semi-misleading nomenclature in that overall there are very few diving and underwater scenes - something I had anticipated would be a focal point in a series titled "Dive Team Investigations". That point aside, I found this book to be an exciting journey from start to finish, and would recommend it to those seeking a suspenseful crime investigation with a little romance and a lot of faith in God and trust in His plans. 4/5 stars.
