Beneath Devil's Bridge by Loreth Anne White
4.0
Loreth Anne White, best known for her Pallorino series, has a new book out called Beneath Devil's Bridge. The book begins with the murder of Leena Rai in 1997. The story then jumps forward to the present day, where a true-crime podcaster interviews the accused and imprisoned Clayton Jay Pelley. Clayton Jay Pelley, who admitted to his crime and accepted his life sentence without a hearing, is unexpectedly speaking to Trinity Scott, a young podcaster. The podcaster is missing the most critical part of her show in which she is supposed to interview retired detective Rachel Walczak. So, what's the deal with Pelley suddenly speaking up? Is he an innocent victim or a perpetrator? Why did Rachel quit her work and staying silent?
The books' chapters are written in a chronological order that alternates between the past and the present. The reader will hear about the case from the viewpoint of the detective, the podcaster, and the real-time account from 1997. Thus the author retains both periods' twists and turns. The book catches you from the outset and compels the reader to turn the pages quickly. The book is written in the style of a fast-paced thriller. Character development is the book's strongest point. Although the book is told from Rachel and Trinity's perspectives, the reader can see the development of all the characters in it. The author's use of first-person narration aided in the development of the characters. Also, the author was able to convey the characters' feelings without difficulty. The book describes how a case can influence the detective's life and family, and how it can turn her life upside down. The book's suspense aspect is incredible. The plot twists and turns engross the reader. I was taken aback at times and admired the author's inventiveness. The plot, like any good thriller, ends with a surprising twist. The ending was unexpected, and the author did a good job of establishing it. The author's writing style is intriguing, and the reader can read without losing his attention. As I neared the end, I felt like Rachel was being sidelined a little, but that's okay because the author's ending twist is unexpected and mind-blowing.
In every way, Underneath Devil's Bridge is surprisingly fascinating and breathtaking. Thriller fans don't have to think twice before picking up this book because you will enjoy the writing style, plot, and thrills.
Thank You Loreth Anne White for sending me a copy of the well-crafted amazing thriller.
