"Blue Water Horizon", by Glenn Trust

                                                               
                Book#3, in the Blue Eyes series

Alice is on the move fleeing Las Vegas exchanging the hot desert sands for the cool ocean breeze of the Atlantic. Taking the name of Samantha she settles for a while in Digger Key, an isolate place with a shabby bar….. The Florida Keys will never be the same…..This 3rd story is as captivating as the 2 first were.

After two books, I knew our protagonist will do anything to help her new family. First she settles in, find a job, a home and makes friends that she will call her family. When Digger Key is treated by a predatory property developer Sam springs into action. As the story moves along and switches among the characters, we get deep inside the minds of each one. Of course the main focus is on Alice (Samantha). New players to enjoy and one important recurring one…Barent, her lover from Las Vegas who is tracking her down…but don’t expect too much here, the thread is barely developed leaving the door open…..

This story does not disappoint, we are swiftly engulfed in a tug of war game between the good guys versus the bad guys in a scenario that is fast and filled with suspense and thrills. Alice is a well-developed and unforgettable character and how she pulls us in is surely where the author excels.

With its everyday language, a narration that flows smoothly and a cast of fun characters this can only be a page-turner and an easy read.
