The Girl Beneath the Sea by Andrew Mayne
3.0
The idea was good. Sloan McPherson works for the police department as a diver. Her skills help discover evidence and secrets under the water and as this is based in Florida, there is a lot of water around.
I really enjoyed reading about her dives. The description of things surrounding her under the water, the unknown factor and the creepy vibes. It was well written descriptively.
The story itself was too unrealistic. There is only so much eye rolling I can tolerate in one book and this one was excessive. The main character just kept making horrible decisions, getting herself into serious trouble, doing things on her own like she was invincible and of course, she always escaped being taken out by the cartel in numerous situations.
It was like reading if Shaggy and Scooby were the main characters in CSI: Miami. Almost like a cozy mystery rather than drug cartel thriller. * shrugs *
It took me a while to get to the end with this one, I read another book and started another before I finally picked it back up to finish.
