I’ve never been scuba diving or to anywhere in the Caribbean, but after finishing Night Diver by Elizabeth Lowell, I feel like I could zip down there and discover centuries-old sunken treasure all by myself.
Business advisor Kate Donnelly hasn’t returned to the Caribbean since she was eighteen years old, after the truly horrifying night both of her parents died while diving. However, after a phone call from her brother Larry—now the owner of the Diving Donnellys’ empire—asking for her help to save the failing family business, Kate knows she has to return to the place of her nightmares to try to save the only family she has left. Larry has signed a one-sided contract that could drive the diving business into ruin (sink it, if you will), but he and his crew believe they have finally found one of the greatest shipwrecks in the Caribbean—the same wreck that Kate’s parents were looking for when they died. The threat is sexy, British, ex-military diver Holden Cameron, who has been sent by the agency who is funding the dive to investigate why so little treasure is being found. Sparks fly between Kate and Holden as they get closer and closer to discovering where the missing treasure may be hidden and who is sabotaging the dive.
Fans of Lisa Gardner, Linda Howard, Jayne Ann Krentz, and Nora Roberts will enjoy the romantic suspense elements, and long-time fans of Lowell will revel in her return to the mystery genre. Sunken treasure, hot beaches, hotter romance, and a heaping spoonful of action and suspense: check it out on Edelweiss!
