Sea Storm: A Thriller (Underwater Investigation Unit Book 3) Kindle Edition

A Wall Street Journal bestselling series.

An explosive conspiracy sets the ocean roiling for a deep-diving investigator in a riveting thriller by the author of the Amazon Charts bestseller The Girl Beneath the Sea.

A distress call draws rescuers Sloan McPherson and the Underwater Investigation Unit to a cruise ship off the coast of Fort Lauderdale that’s sinking from a mysterious explosion. When it appears to be the work of an ecoterrorist and other ships are threatened, it becomes a race against time. More clues are discovered, and evidence is in danger of being washed away by a coming tropical storm. Sloan grows concerned that key details are being ignored, and a strange lack of urgency by authorities sets off alarms.

As the troubling questions compound, Sloan is determined to chase down every lead she has. Her persistence is getting her closer to the truth: that there’s something far more troubling at play than the official explanation. It’s also putting Sloan on a collision course with an enemy more powerful than she realizes, in a case so complex and deadly it may be impossible to prove. Now cracking the case is a matter of staying one step ahead of someone with every resource imaginable to bury Sloan and everything she knows.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“The fast-paced plot is filled to the brim with fascinating characters, and the locale is exceptional—both above and below the waterline. One doesn’t have to be a nautical adventure fan to enjoy this nail-biter.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Strong pacing, lean prose, and maritime knowledge converge in this crackerjack thriller.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Fans of the Underwater Investigation Unit [series] will enjoy this installment, and those who love thrillers will like this too.” —Library Journal

~~~~~~ My Extraordinary & Inquisitive
Fellow Readers ~~~~~~
~ ZERO SPOILERS in my review below!
~ Also, not a “book report” style.
(So for sure, no spoilers. ;)
~ My review, just for YOU! <3:
~~~~~~
Another knock it outta the park tale by master wordsmith Andrew Mayne!
This time around, our journey has more of a “mobster” feel to it - yet sans any true mobsters.
The mystery of whodunnit isn’t so difficult to figure out within Sea Storm compared to others by this author - once you get to about the halfway point. But it’s intentional & is clearly purposeful within this story.
The storyline within offers: twisting turning mystery 1st, then 2nd is comprised of - again - the twists & turns, yet it relates to …. well, you’ll see…. ;)
Per usual with respect to this series - Mayne’s character development for the primary & even minor/passing characters is highly descriptive.
You thoroughly get the picture of who these people are, their pasts & presents. Often their goals as well. What they look like.
Once again here in this book, however — I am still left wondering what our #1 main character’s outward appearance is. Other than her body. That was actually described here. Yet I still have no image of her face. I continue to feel unsure if this is intentional on the author’s part or not?
Although, I am leaning toward it must be deliberate. As his writing is SO solid & tight principally. He wouldn’t miss the mark here, & only here, accidentally. Yk?
Additionally, Andrew Mayne’s world-building skills are naturally — superb. Sights, scents, sounds, gustatory imagery, kinesthetic imagery, & tactile imagery.
As well as his use of emotional language.
My most favorite aspect of this book as well as the previous one, Black Coral, is our ability to get a little peek into Sloan’s immediate reactions/thoughts.
Mayne delivers this in such a smart manner. Via the use of simplified & concentrated sentences, which are also italicized - as the “symbol sentences” for Sloan’s thoughts.
The end result is brilliantly humorous!
These often sarcastic, hilarious, hit the mark exclamations, & comments you the reader may sometimes be thinking as well, are sprinkled throughout the book.
These innermost snarky thoughts also help us to get to know Sloan better as a person. And overall — Sloan is HOT SHHHH!! ;) Lol!
(Not a spoiler …. V )
And — NOT a negative .. just a topic I learned wasn’t an interest of mine, it appears.
So! There is one short section, approximately 75%+ of the way through, where I did find myself getting a bit.. bored? Or perhaps more like —
“Ok, we get it already! Time to move on!!” urrghhh…..
This BRIEF period of the story is in regard to financial matters, and it is super repetitive. Like, pretty much the same (type of??) information gone over time & again.
Or, perhaps it just SEEMED like that to me, because I didn’t enjoy it (thus didn’t TRY to understand it; had no base knowledge, yk?).
I know that in real life the investigators would be doing this, & more, as they worked.
But WE don’t need to be a fly on the wall for all of it. (IMO, lol ;)
Honestly however, it’s truly not that bad — AS I’M SURE there are A PROFUSION of people who would be intensely interested & engaged in Sloan, Hugh, Solar, & Co.’s project at hand.
As I shared, it’s highly likey — it’s simply not MY personal cup’o’tea! ;)
Bring on some sharks, or oceanography, or biomedical stuff, or social anthropology, & NOW yer talkin’! Lol :)
Finally — I am so thrilled to have discovered, accidentally, Andrew Mayne by stumbling over The Naturalist.
I see that reviewers think The Naturalist is simply the cat’s meow! And nothing can compare.
Well — yes. I really enjoyed that book. Which, led me to read others by this author.
But! Sea Storm … & Black Coral!?!
I think these two stories blow The Naturalist right out of the water!
(Water. Get it..?? Ok. Very corny. I apologize! lol ;-P )
All that said —-
If you like or LOVE, as I do:……
The sea, Florida, or The Gulf of Mexico, Cruises, sea life, murder mysteries, a solidly written fantastic mystery tale in general,
SCUBA diving/any diving,
a sorta “mobster” themed book, police stories, + forensic work, “colorful” families, to get a bit fired up by injustices,
characters who are REAL - who make mistakes, etc., & not SUPER HUMANS who do 100% of everything correctly & know it all, and … if you love to laugh.
As well as — appreciating bada** women who are also fallible & silly, & hard, strong men who are also humble & loving.
This is a FANTASTIC read!!!!
DIVE IN!!
The water’s a tinge bloody.
But hey, that’s ok …..
you’ll help figure out why…. ;)
