The Passengers, John Marrs
All I had to read was that this was about self-driving cars and I knew it was going to be one heck of a ride. What Marrs really does well in this is make us question ourselves. Narrated by a full cast, this audiobook will keep you on the edge of your seat.
When someone hacks into the systems of eight self-drive cars, their passengers are set on a fatal collision course.
The passengers are: a TV star, a pregnant young woman, a disabled war hero, an abused wife fleeing her husband, an illegal immigrant, a husband and wife – and parents of two – who are travelling in separate vehicles and a suicidal man. Now the public have to judge who should survive but are the passengers all that they first seem?
Drowning, T.J. Newman
I’ve been flying through Newman’s books as fast as she can publish them. This one is probably my favorite of the three. I can’t understate the claustrophobia I felt while reading about airplane passengers stuck in wreckage under the ocean. This one really came alive on audio.
Six minutes after takeoff, Flight 1421 crashes into the Pacific Ocean. During the evacuation, an engine explodes and the plane is flooded. Those still alive are forced to close the doors—but it’s too late. The plane sinks to the bottom with twelve passengers trapped inside.
More than two hundred feet below the surface, engineer Will Kent and his eleven-year-old daughter Shannon are waist-deep in water and fighting for their lives.
Their only chance at survival is an elite rescue team on the surface led by professional diver Chris Kent—Shannon’s mother and Will’s soon-to-be ex-wife.
The Girl Beneath the Sea, Andrew Mayne
After reading Mayne’s last two series, I was excited to dive (literally) into this new world. This is fast paced, action-packed, and incredibly engaging. I can’t wait to see what the Underwater Investigation Unit gets up to in the next book.
Coming from scandalous Florida treasure hunters and drug smugglers, Sloan McPherson is forging her own path, for herself and for her daughter, out from under her family’s shadow. An auxiliary officer for Lauderdale Shores PD, she’s the go-to diver for evidence recovery. Then Sloan finds a fresh kill floating in a canal—a woman whose murky history collides with Sloan’s. Their troubling ties are making Sloan less a potential witness than a suspect. And her colleagues aren’t the only ones following every move she makes. So is the killer.
