![The Bridge to Belle Island by [Julie Klassen]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51L1d4i5D6L.jpg)
After
a humiliating mistake, lawyer Benjamin Booker resolves to never again trust a
beautiful woman. When an old friend is killed, the senior partner isn't
satisfied with Bow Street's efforts and asks Benjamin to investigate. Eager to
leave London for a while, Benjamin agrees. Evidence takes him to a remote
island on the Thames, a world unto itself, shrouded in mist and mystery. Soon
he finds himself falling for the main suspect--a woman who claims not to have
left the island in ten years. But should he trust her?
On Belle Island, Isabelle feels safe and leads a productive
life, but fear keeps her trapped there. When Mr. Booker arrives with news of
her trustee's murder in London, Isabelle is stunned. She has not left the
island, yet she has a recurring dream about the man's death. Or is it a memory?
She had been furious with him, but she never intended . . . this.
When a second person dies and evidence shockingly points to
her, Isabelle doesn't know who to trust: the attractive lawyer or the admirer
and friends who assemble on the island, each with grudges against the victim.
Can she even trust her own mind? While they search for the truth, secrets come
to light and danger comes calling.
And now, my review:
I would relate this book to an Agatha Christie type book. It goes round and round with twists and plot
changes. I thought the author really
developed her characters well and gave them depth. I love the beautiful cover of this book. I also love the pull toward Jane Austen that
this author has. I don’t however enjoy
mystery/murder. I found talk of this at
every turn and all over the book not just a little here or there. I’m sorry that I didn’t like it more. It absolutely didn’t have anything to do with
a lack in this author. I found her to be
top notch.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest
review.
