What Lies Below by Barbara Taylor Sissel

 

Nightmares that foretell events? Nightmares that could solve crimes?  Nightmares that Gilly is afraid to think about or let anyone know about.

Gilly seems to be clairvoyant but is afraid to tell the police for fear of their suspecting her of the kidnapping of a friend's daughter.  Gilly saw Zoe being kidnapped in her dream, and the next day it happened.

We join in the search for Zoe along with the entire town. The small town of Wyatt loved Zoe and her father, Jake, and they all had their own theories about what happened and who took Zoe.

This tense, well-written thriller was difficult to put down and had marvelous, mysterious characters that all seemed to have some secret.


Ms. Sissel’s writing style is pull-you-in and descriptive.  The title also had me intrigued with my thinking it referred to what really was below the surface of what the characters were showing on the outside.

If you like books that dig into a character's background and a story line that will keep you guessing, WHAT LIES BELOW will be a good read for you.


I really enjoyed WHAT LIES BELOW - this was my first book by Ms. Sissel.  5/5

This book was given to me by the author in exchange for an honest review.
