Bound In Shallows by Stephanie Black
5.0
Another amazing Natalie Marsh book that’ll keep you on pins and needles til the end! Finally, the much anticipated wedding between Natalie & Gideon is here, but it wouldn’t be a Natalie Marsh event without plenty of suspense and murder. Poor Natalie just wants to be a normal bride, but in the midst of wedding preparations, the eight year old death of her fiancé’s roommate comes back to haunt them. There are plenty of twists and turns in this fourth book in the series and it’s incredibly hard to put down. It’s her best Natalie Marsh mystery yet!
Gideon’s roommate Travis supposedly died of a drug overdose eight years ago. To honor his memory, his mother wants to establish a drug addiction clinic in his name and wants Natalie to run it. As a favor to her benefactor, Natalie agrees to listen to the proposal, but it’s clear this woman is going to be a nightmare to work with. Things go from bad to worse when Natalie’s estranged sister comes back into her life and adds yet another complication.
As more and more clues accumulate, it appears Travis’ death was actually murder. Gideon’s friends add an interesting dimension to the story as secrets are revealed about their pasts and the involvement they may have had in Travis’ death. They all become suspects when a bloody knife turns up during the wedding celebrations.
This mystery had me quickly turning the pages and as with all Stephanie Black mysteries, you need to pay attention because she throws some pretty amazing twists throughout the story. It’s a great whodunnit which will keep you guessing. Though it could be read as a standalone, it’s better if you’ve read the previous books.
I have the ebook but also listened to the audiobook. The audiobook version is really good and I enjoyed the narrator.
