Review
Unbelievable!
Three truly talented authors write three novellas that are filled with suspense,
thrills, faith, action and more. Each accomplished author has written many
novels individually that are truly magnificent to read, so if you’re not
familiar with them look up their novels and dive right in! The three novellas
aren’t tied together, and they are unique and mesmerizing!
Dee Henderson’s story is titled, “Betrayed”, and
I enjoyed the plot of a couple, one who works for the FBI while the other is a
retired police officer who are at an auction. The couple, Paul and Ann, aren’t
seeking anything in particular just enjoying being together without a crisis on
their plate. Of course, that is until Ann chooses a box of miscellaneous items
to hopefully set up her next painting scene. What it does though has set them
on a path of discovery of a murder and the woman who supposedly was the
culprit.
Dani Pettrey offers readers “Deadly Isle” where
two cousins are on an island swimming towards a buoy. Tennyson and her cousin
Julia have raced toward this mark for as long as “Teni” can remember. When Teni
arrives, Julia is nowhere to be found. However, a storm is on the horizon and
there is blood on the buoy, a lot of it but no one is around. Now, there’s a
good teaser for this gripping murder mystery along with so much more to the
story that readers will get to discover.
Lynette Eason brings to the audience a tale
entitled, “Code of Ethics”. Like Dee and Dani, Lynette is a master of suspense
and telling gripping tales. A surgeon saves the life of a detective who was
shot while on duty. Ruthie goes in to check her patient only to find an
intruder there trying to put something in the IV. The patient, who is a
detective, is trying to leave the hospital because he knows his life is in
danger. Isaac had reported a fellow officer when he caught him stealing from
the evidence room. While it was the right thing to do, there are those who
don’t agree with Isaac, and others who want to kill him.! All three stories are
standalones and very well written. They entertain but they also bring a sense
of adventure and will keep you captivated until the very end! Read, enjoy and
tell others you know about this fantastic collection of three novellas!
