BENEATH THE SURFACE by Lynn H. Blackburn is a thriller with a little romance mixed in. Every time I thought that I knew who was behind this I was wrong. Blackburn writes a story that you get hooked on from the first page to the last. I had a hard time putting it down.

Blackburn shows that no matter who you might hurt, when you really care about someone, you don't give up. There are several other characters in BENEATH THE SURFACE, all part of the dive team. I look forward to reading all about them in more books in the Dive Team Investigations series.

So a big thumbs up to Lynn H Blackburn on this book. You will really love it.
