BLACK CORAL by Andrew Mayne - REVIEW & GIVEAWAY

February 16, 2021

It's time to go underwater with Detective Sloan McPherson in BLACK CORAL (Thomas&Mercer) - Book 2 of 3 in Andrew Mayne's, "Underwater Investigation Unit" series. FYI: The book works as a stand-alone.

Detective McPherson finds more comfort being underwater, even in a murky South Florida canal than living with what lurks above. She's called in to help retrieve an auto accident victim, who drove into a canal. While doing her best to stay away from the gators, including 13-foot Big Bill she also comes across a van. To those on land it looks like a tragedy, but McPherson knows there's more. Once jurisdictions agree to haul the van out of the muck, they make a gruesome discovery. It's only the beginning in an investigation into dozens of cold cases.

This is book two in the series, and I loved the first one, "Girl Underneath." Living in Miami, I enjoy how the book takes readers around South Florida and I learn a lot about the area. Sloan is a great character. She can be stubborn and a bit of a pain in the butt, but she has a good heart. She's smart, has empathy and a good BS detector. Sloan also has a great team working with her that have her back. I was on the edge of my seat worrying about her getting eaten or at least attacked by a gator during the entire novel. Mayne writes great scenes out in the ultra-creepy Everglades. I totally understand why I've never wanted to go out on one of those airboat adventures.
