About this ebook

Her dreams were stolen in the tide pool where she took her last breath…

 

Unfortunate accident or foul play? Either way, a luxury singles tour ends in tragedy for a woman who’d come to Oahu for a fresh start.

 

The other tourists say Vanessa was secretive or desperate for excitement. She must have been alone when she snuck out to the treacherous tide pool in the moonlight. But when objects mysteriously wash ashore, including a luminous bracelet made of rare shells, it becomes clearer that her death was no accident.

 

It’s up to private investigator Pari Malik to uncover the truth. She’ll dig up clandestine relationships, concealed motives, and hidden agendas. It’s a race against time to solve the perplexing mystery before an unknown killer strikes again or gets away with murder.

 

The intriguing characters and thrilling mystery of Lurking Below The Surface will keep you guessing until the very end.  It is the fifth novel in the Pari Malik Mystery Series and it can be read as a stand-alone book.

Lurking Below the Surface is the fifth book in A Pari Malik Mystery series. I love this series! The characters are well developed, strong, and likable. The storyline is well written and engaging, keeping me turning the pages from beginning to end, with death, drama, twists and turns, and the beautiful setting of Oahu.

Pari Malik is not the sort of person you imagine with a twin sister or a fluffy dog in designer outfits. If you enjoy PI stories with a bit of a different edge, this could be your next must read book and series! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
