Purchase options and add-ons

After a harrowing experience with an obsessed patient, oncology nurse practitioner Leigh Weston needed a change. She thought she'd left her troubles behind when she moved home to Carrington, North Carolina, and took a job in the emergency department of the local hospital. But when someone tampers with her brakes, she fears the past has chased her into the present. She reaches out to her high school friend turned homicide investigator, Ryan Parker, for help.

Ryan finds satisfaction in his career, but his favorite way to use his skills is as a volunteer underwater investigator with the Carrington County Sheriff's Office dive team. When the body of a wealthy businessman is discovered in Lake Porter, the investigation uncovers a possible serial killer--one with a terrifying connection to Leigh Weston and deadly implications for them all.

Dive into the depths of fear with an exciting new voice in romantic suspense. Award-winning author Lynn H. Blackburn grabs readers by the throat and doesn't let go until the final heart-pounding page.

5.0 out of 5 stars TOTAL ADRENALINE RUSH!
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2018

Beneath the Surface (Dive Team Investigations Book # 1) by Lynn Blackburn is a Total Adrenaline Rush! Blackburn is a new to me author and I am a fan! I am a voracious reader and I need to be “hooked” quickly. Blackburn had me “hooked” in the first paragraph and I was totally invested within the first five pages.

This is not a novel to read in snippets or to be read at the same time as you are reading two/three other books. (There are plenty of novels that can be read this way.) This plot is complex and if you come and go in your reading too many times or read too many other books while reading this one, you could easily lose the intensity, forget who secondary characters are and miss nuances that may be key to solving the mystery.

Blackburn has given readers a truly amazing romantic suspense novel. The setting is a small town with a medical center and a neighborhood with large lots and a huge lake behind the homes. Blackburn’s characters are realistic, complex, the best at their professions, working to strengthen their faith, the romance is sweet and tender and and one is pure evil! She manages to keep you on the edge of your seat for the entire book and makes you feel as though you are running for your life. The intensity continues to rise throughout the book. There’s nothing quite as creepy as reading along and discovering the killer is from your hometown! That’s when you momentarily FORGET you’re reading fiction and start rereading the name and see if you recognize it so can ask family and friends if they recognize it! That’s REALISTIC FICTION!

5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars!

What an exciting and intense thrill ride! I've read quite a few suspenseful books lately, and I've gotta say, Beneath the Surface is one of the most compelling, fast paced ones in recent memory. I had an insanely difficult time pulling myself away from it to tend to 'real life' things.

The whole cast of characters were great. Leigh was immensely likeable. She's so kind, is always looking out for others and helping them when she's able. She's been through a lot, but she's a fighter. Ryan's a born protector. He's just an all-around, genuinely good guy. I do have to say that it wasn't just Ryan and Leigh, the main characters, I became invested in. All of the supporting characters were authentic and 'real'. I'm eager to spend more time with everyone in subsequent books.

I really can't say enough good things about Beneath the Surface. It held my complete attention. I was constantly thinking about it, wondering what was gonna happen next, trying to figure out who the baddie was and what their motivation was. It was so good. I've found a new author to add to my must-buy list. I'm ready to dive into book two!

Very good mixture of characters. Author describes the intense scenes well. You can fall right into the storyline. Several errors/left out words kept this story from being five stars. I appreciate the intensity and well thought out adventure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Romantic Suspense
Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2019

This was the first book by Lynn H. Blackburn that I have read, but it definitely won't be the last. Romantic suspense is one of my favorite genres, and Beneath the Surface did not disappoint! Beneath the Surface is the first book in her Dive Team Investigations Series. Having Dive Team Investigations as the premise of the series was so intriguing. This was a fast-paced thrilling romantic suspense novel that kept the reader guessing until the end. I was completely surprised by "whodunnit," but I would have liked to see more of a reason "why" the person committed the crimes. However, in real-life criminal cases, we don't always get the answer of "why" either. The author’s knowledge and research in the both the medical field and law enforcement was evident.

I loved the long time friendship of Leigh Weston and Ryan Parker and the possibility of it turning into something more. I also loved the supporting character of Gabe and his wonderful personality. I hope he gets his own story later in the series! I can't wait to read Adam and Sabrina's story in Book 2 of the series.

Lynette Eason is one of my favorite authors, and I recently read Code of Valor (Book #3 in her Blue Justice Series). She had a crossover section in part of the book where the Dive Team Members from this book assisted with a case in her book. I can't wait to go back and reread Code of Valor since I now am familiar with the Dive Team characters! I would definitely recommend Lynn H. Blackburn to fans of romantic suspense.

Wow! Ryan and Leigh's story starts with an unexpected connection through the proximity of her property to a crime scene... and never slows down! It was intense but so good. I didn't see that ending coming! I appreciate how Ryan and Leigh are both drawn back -individually- to their faith in God despite their difficult questions.

Read this book! HIGHLY recommend!

This was one awesome read from the beginning until the very end. It was hard to stop reading when I felt I wanted to finish it but couldn’t keep my eyes open. It was difficult to determine the guilty party. Lynn Blackburn authored a fantastic mystery! I can’t wait to read another clean mystery by her!
This was just what I was waiting for!

This was my first Lynn Blackburn read but will not be my last. Drawn in from the first page I was completely engrossed all the way through. If you love complex Christian fiction where it’s hard to identify the bad guy, this book is for you.

A body is found in deep water near the dock of Leigh's home. Ryan, a childhood friend of her brother's, leads a team of investigators who are trying to solve the mystery of the man's murder. Then there are multiple attempts on Leigh's life, and no one knows why. This is a fast moving novel with a strong romantic undertone. I wish there had been more scuba action, given the series name, but overall a good read.
