Bobbie Gentry is working hard to get her life back together
after the trauma of losing her husband, child, partner and
being captured and tormented by a serial killer. But now
there seems to be a copycat who wants to put Bobbie in A
DEEPER GRAVE. This police detective will not go down without
a fight for herself and for the man who helped save her
before, Nick Slade, and is in danger himself now. Nick is a
serial killer hunter, the son of an infamous killer, who is
desperate not to follow in his father's footsteps. He comes
back to reunite with Bobbie to try and stop the killer who
is copying some of those he had put away. Is Bobbie the
target or is Nick being led to become like his father?
A DEEPER GRAVE is a dark, gritty, edge-of-your-seat read,
that is absolutely not for the faint of heart. Author Debra
Webb is an awesome writer that will put you right there in
the action, feeling the fear, anger and, yes, even the angst
that comes with this partnership.
In this offering, we get more into Nick's life with his
father and see more of his father as he warns Bobbie that
she has become his son's weakness. Which he is sure will
lead Nick down the path that he always wanted the boy to go
... following in his killer footsteps. You wonder if Bobbie
can keep that from happening or is the psychological damage
that has been done making it a foregone conclusion that Nick
will end up like his father. Readers of Ms. Webb's Shades
of Death series can only read along, worry and
wonder as we follow this couple through these horrific venues.
The "bad" guy was a complete surprise to me as the truth
seem to come out of nowhere. I am usually fairly good at
getting at least a hint, though I often ignore it if it
means it's someone I don't want to be the evil one, but this
one I got nothing. A very nice twist but it does leave you
wondering who can you really trust.
If you are looking for a woman whose strength is amazing, a
good fight against evil, believing in the good of another
person, and a determination not to lose then A DEEPER GRAVE
is what you need.
Serial-killer hunter Nick Shade built his legendary career
chasing monsters—sadistic criminals with a gruesome thirst
for death. When he rescued Montgomery detective Bobbie
Gentry from horrific captivity and helped her reclaim her
life, he didn't intend to be a hero. Or a target. But now a
copycat murderer haunts him, and reuniting with Bobbie is
his best chance at neutralizing the threat.
Bobbie can't forget the nightmares of her trauma—or the man
who saved her. Working with Nick to outmaneuver the person
behind a deadly vendetta feeds her hope that there's more to
her world than ghosts and destruction. Maybe joining Nick's
search for a killer is about gratitude. Maybe it's nothing
more than cold revenge. But the only way they can protect
themselves is to trust each other.
