The River Killings by Merry Jones

Rating : 3.5/5

I liked the book. It was a little slow for my taste.

The story starts with Zoe an art therapist trying to have a calm summer vacation rowing which ends up being a completely opposite vacation with murder and mayhem.

Susan a defense lawyer and Zoe’s close friend asks Zoe to row with her one night. As they row faster they end up flipping their boat and ending up in water. When Zoe comes up for air she looks around and finds bodies floating.Scared Zoe and Susan call police. Nick a detective and Zoe’s boyfriend leads the investigation.

The investigation shows there were 19 bodies and all were Asian females leading to believe a human trafficking ring was active in the area. After they find the women Susan and Zoe are harassed by a FBI agent, a priest and an old lady asking about what they saw the night they found the bodies. On top of this Zoe’s house in broken in and Susan gets car jacked. Also Zoe’s daughter Molly ( a 6-year old) is followed by a lady in blue car.

Are all the events related or are they different? Will Zoe and Susan be safe?
