About the Book:Revenge has no statute of limitations.
When investigator Gabe Chavez had his cover blown by an aggressive reporter, the silver lining was being able to rejoin the dive team. The downside? Dive team captain Anissa Bell, a woman who both fascinates and frustrates him.
Anissa grew up as a missionary kid on the Micronesian island of Yap and always planned to return after college. But she remained stateside, determined to solve the case that haunts her--the murder of her best friend and the disappearance of a three-year-old child.
When Anissa's fractured past collides with Gabe's investigation into the tragic shooting death of a teenage boy in Lake Porter, they'll have to put aside their complicated history with each other in order to uncover the killer's identity.
My Thoughts:
One Final Breath is the third installment in Lynn H. Blackburn’s Dive Team Investigations series. One Final Breath functions as a stand-alone novel as sufficient backstory is given. However, I think I would have been more connected to Anissa and Gabe if I had read the other books. As it was, neither the mystery nor romance captured my attention until the middle of the story.
One Final Breath’s strength lies in its well-crafted crime/mystery
component. The criminal wasn’t easily predictable and I didn’t know the who or why
until the story revealed the character and motive. Even once the bad guy was
revealed, the suspense built and it was a unique climax. At that point, I was
definitely not wanting to put the book down. Getting a peek into the criminal’s
mind was a bit creepy.
I recommend One Final Breath by Lynn H. Blackburn to
readers of romantic suspense who have followed this series from the beginning
and are already interested with these characters. Three stars.
