Black Coral by Andrew Mayne 5*****

I've just finished this book and I'm in awe at how much I loved it. The main character is a complicated, yet strong and tough lady who I immensely enjoyed reading about. She's resourceful, sharp-witted, and intuitive and it's what drives to book.

This is the second instalment of the Underwater Investing Unit Series, where Sloan, our main character is a detective, working for the UIU. While on a mission in the alligator-infested swamps of Florida, she discovers a van underwater with four bodies locked inside. It turns out they're four teenagers that went missing thirty years ago after a rock concert. And so the investigation begins. The story is a fast-paced thriller without a boring moment during the whole book a nail-biting, heart-stopping ending. I thought the author did a wonderful job rendering the story so vivid and full of action, by using a very credible dialogue and relatable characters. I practically flew through the pages.

If you like a well-told crime story involving a serial killer and a sassy and gutsy lead, don't miss out on this one. Thanks to #Netgalley for this ARC.
