This is the second book in the Underwater Investigation Unit series by Andrew Mayne. I really enjoyed this book and the strong protagonist woman lead. However, I did feel like there were some flat moments, though they were quickly recovered.
Sloan McPherson is a underwater investigator with the Underwater Investigation Unit. Shes a detective whos family has a shady past. She has been diving nearly all her life. Living in Florida, where a UIU unit is crucial due to the amount of swamps, canals, and bodies of water throughout, it comes as a shock that the UIU is under scrutiny to be disbanded. They must fight to prove themselves worthy, and necessary, while solving crimes that others are quick to dismiss.
While reading this, I felt that our protagonists often had a death wish. Acting childish at times, without thinking. Almost as if she isn’t a mother with a young child at home. She seems disconnected from her home life. I found the protagonists hard to relate too, however I applaud that she is a strong willed and respected female lead, though her thoughts seem more masculine.
There were some things thrown in that seemed like a filler. For instance, an investigated crime that didn’t add to the plot at all. This secondary crime ring was harped on and built, but then fell flat. There were some highs and lows, all in all a solid 4-star read.
