Shannon Hollinger and FBI Special Agent Cassidy Knox are back in another thrilling, gripping, tense, and hard to put down book!!!!! Grave Waters is the third book in the stunning and wonderfully written Cassidy Know series! I appreciate that this book takes place shortly following the events of the second book in the series, Fatal Betrayal. While this book would work as a stand-alone, I highly recommend reading the first two books in the series to become better acquainted with Cassidy and Jake. The first two books were intriguing and thrilling and had me on the edge of my seat. Grave Waters is the 11th book that I have read by Shannon Hollinger.
Cassidy Knox just can’t seem to catch a break! Can’t a girl have a little down time? She is busy running the animal sanctuary she inherited, while helping Jake recover from his injuries. The chemistry between Cassidy and Jake is about to boil over until a man’s body has been found inside a crab trap in the everglades. She is called back into action when the man’s identity is known, and Cassidy can’t say no as she has a personal connection to the man. When Cassidy learns of other men killed in the same manner as the dead man in the crab track, she knows she is searching for a serial killer!
As Cassidy begins her investigation, she welcomes a rooster to her animal sanctuary and finds herself in harm’s way in more ways than one. Not from the rooster mind you, but from another source close to the rooster! Plus, the search for the serial killer ramps up and his Cassidy looking very close to home for answers.
This was another gripping and thrilling book in the series. I enjoyed the mystery and the unfolding of the plot. The tension and sense of danger grew as the book progressed. I also enjoyed the sense of community in this book. Cassidy returned to where she grew up after her grandfather’s death. She knows many of the locals from school, and I enjoyed the few scenes with her exchanging banter with them. I also enjoyed the character development and continuation of the story arc. Plus, I love how the animals steal every scene that they are in!
Wonderfully written, well thought out, gripping, full of tension, unease and danger!
Thank you to Shannon Hollinger who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
