Fourteen miles east of Peachtree, Alabama, a secret is hidden. That secret's name is Annabel Lee Truckson, and even she doesn't know why her mysterious uncle has stowed her deep underground in a military-style bunker. He's left her with a few German words, a barely-controlled guard dog, and a single command: "Don't open that door for anybody, you got it? Not even me."
Above ground, a former Army sniper called The Mute and an enigmatic "Dr. Smith" know about the girl. As the race begins to find her, the tension builds. Who wants to set her free? Why does the other want to keep her captive forever? Who will reach her first?
Private investigators Trudi Coffey and Samuel Hill need to piece together the clues and stay alive long enough to retrieve the girl--before it's too late.
My Review:
I truly was almost ready to give up on this book. In reading about 80 pages, I just couldn't get into it, but then the dynamic changed, and I couldn't put it down! Fast-paced and riveting are the key terms for this book. The title is a reference to Edgar Allen Poe's poem of the same name, and the story has a Poe-like feel to it as the reader turns page by page to uncover the story behind Annabel Lee. It was a good read!
I was provided this book by Revell. All opinions and thoughts are my own.
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
