Arid Sea

This was my first Spider Green mystery thriller. She has many names. I enjoy reading a tale about a strong woman. This one has an equally powerful sister. Yes, there are charming and evil men in their lives. An intriguing and interesting story that kept me turning the pages. I am eager to read more of her adventures. Thanks to the publisher for providing a copy via NetGalley.

A missing retired admiral, a woman who doesn’t know her own name, and Fay trying to unravel the mystery. After reconciling with her father (former President Willian Green), Faydra wants justice and truth to prevail, in and out of the courtroom. As a lawyer for the Navy, she wears many hats, including rescue missions and spying on America’s enemies. She is asked to investigate the disappearance of retired Admiral Alvin Joe. He and the top-secret files of a military weapon have vanished into thin air. What happened? Questions and scenarios float in Fay’s mind but she must figure it out for herself. Along with her sister and Sheriff, Faydra investigates what’s happened. The further she digs, the more sinister the plot becomes. Human trafficking, Russian mafia, and prostitution are all tied to the disappearance plus the emergence of an old enemy. He won’t stop until she’s six feet in the ground. Can Faydra rescue those in need, complete her mission and bring those responsible to justice?

Arid Sea is a Navy spy thriller I couldn’t put down. Faydra is back for an exciting thriller and Arid Sea didn’t disappoint. The action takes off right away and I enjoyed every minute of it. The plot moved at a fast clip with plenty of adrenaline-fueled twists to keep the reader guessing. The descriptive narration was so intense, the reader becomes a part of the story. Every detail was intricately described so the reader gets a VR vibe while reading. Faydra is a ‘kick butt and take names’ later heroine and I kept rooting for her. The subplot on human trafficking broke my heart in its truthful accuracy. If you’re a fan of thrillers, you’ll want to read Arid Sea. Another brilliantly written gem by Norm Harris. I can’t wait to read the next in the series. Highly recommend!

My Rating: 5 stars

This story kept me engaged and turning pages wanting to know what was going to happen! I started to suspect a certain someone and man, were they good at what they did! I liked the characters overall but I did feel like there needed to be an epilogue or something for the story. I really did enjoy the storyline.
