Review – Through Waters Deep

Sarah Sundin in her new book, "Through Waters Deep" Book One in the Waves of Freedom series published by Revell takes us into the lives of Mary Stirling and Jim Avery. From the back cover:  War is coming. Can love carry them through the rough waters that lie ahead? It is 1941 and America teeters on the brink of war. Handsome and outgoing naval officer Ensign Jim Avery escorts British convoys across the North Atlantic in a brand-new destroyer, the USS Atwood. On shore, Jim encounters Mary Stirling, a childhood friend who is now an astute and beautiful Boston Navy Yard secretary. When evidence of sabotage on the Atwood is discovered, Jim and Mary must work together to uncover the culprit. A bewildering maze of suspects emerges, and Mary is dismayed to find that even someone close to her is under suspicion. With the increasing pressure, Jim and Mary find that many new challenges–and dangers–await them. No doubt about it Sara Sundin really knows how to tell a story. This current book takes place before the U.S. Entered WWII. You wouldn't think you would find an interesting, highly suspenseful thriller taking place before but Ms. Sundin has come through beautifully. I have never read a story that takes place around the Boston Navy Yard and I was fascinated to find sabotage and mystery there. Jim and Mary are childhood friends who team up to find the saboteur. Ms. Sundin has provided us with a wild ride that will keep you flipping pages to see what will happen next. And did I mention that this is a romance? Through Waters Deep is an exciting book. Ms. Sundin has done it again and I recommend this book highly.
