Deep Dive (A Jessie Madison thriller) by Terry Shames

 

Jessie Madison joins an FBI dive mission in the Mediterranean, where she encounters deadly threats and dangerous secrets.

After a spine-chilling summer in The Bahamas, Jessie Madison jumps at the chance to join the FBI Underwater Search and Evidence Response Team. Seven elite divers are trying to reach a World War II plane stranded at the bottom of the sea, close to the stunning Aeolian Islands north of Sicily. But the mission isn’t going to plan . . .

A series of increasingly terrifying incidents is rattling the team, and worse is yet to come. Is someone in the group trying to sabotage the operation? Why is the plane so important after eighty years? As Jessie uncovers disturbing secrets around the mission, her survival skills face the ultimate challenge.

My Review

 

Jessie Madison has been given another chance at her dream job with the FBI, and she is quickly whisked away to an Island off Sicily.
Can you imagine taking a job, that you really don't know much about? Well, Jessie is doing that, she is a "need to know", also a newbie, and a quick replacement for an injured diver.
As this story unfolded, you quickly don't know whom to trust, there seems to be two sides to each of the individuals she is now working with.
The more we get into the story, I had an idea whom was causing the problems, but then I was led another way. Then there were more serious injuries, so whom was it?
What a job the author did of keeping me guessing, and it is almost to the end we find out, or do we?
I'll be looking for more reads by Terry Shames!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Severn House, and was not required to give a positive review.
